Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandBearing in mind that this is a luxury accommodation - having to enter the property by unlocking a fiddly padlock, driving through, then relocking is a major hassle, especially in bad weather. The 500mtr driveway is very steep, gravel, and rutted, and our rental car struggled. The view is amazing and we would have loved to have had our dinner outside, but alas absolutely no outside furniture of any description. We ended up moving dining chairs outside to act as a table to hold platters of food on. Far from ideal. An outdoor dining area is needed, as well as an outdoor umbrella. The bedrooms were insufferably hot at night - a fan was supplied, but all this does is blow hot air around with a noise. There are no windows to open in the main bedroom, just large opening doors. We did open the doors in both the bedroom and ensuite, and ended up with a mouse in the bedroom. Needless to say, we came away feeling tired from lack of sleep. Not what we expected from a luxury accommodation with a high price tag. The ensuite shower slide is fitted with a wrong size slide, and is ineffective. The shower and bath face onto windows to appreciate the view of a paddock, but can be a bit intimating thinking that someone could be looking in. A blind would be nice to give the option of wanting privacy. There are no gardens - just a whole heap of weeds growing around the house. The windows need a good clean - many have large spider webs over them.
The views from the property are absolutely incredible, and we spent many hours appreciating this. The outdoor spa is fantastic - especially for star gazing - a path down would be an improvement to avoid stepping in all the rabbit poo. Great kitchen, and the bottle of Prosecco and nibbles were very much appreciated. The BBQ was great, and cooked a great steak. There is a separate large TV viewing area which was great to catch up on movies.
