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 ZealandThe house was fully furnished with everything we needed to make it feel like we were at home, but it was missing some basic pantry staples - salt, pepper and oil and tissue paper. It'd be nice if these were stocked for future visitors. The beds were creaky, and the mattresses were quite springy (if one person on the bed turned, the other on the bed felt it).
Great location! Very comfortable stay, we felt at home. :) It was awesome that the house had both a washing machine and dryer, and came with laundry powder sachets. The kitchen has everything too - peelers, graters, dishwasher, pots, pans, crockery etc. The electric blankets and heaters in the bedrooms really helped at night too. Staff at the main office were very friendly, and check in/out was super easy.

New ZealandThe outdoor area could be improved with some wind breaks for privacy and functionality and there could be comfier outdoor seating. Microwave on top of the fridge isn't the safest spot.
Clean house with plenty of room and all the things you need.

ThailandWell, though this house was good but we would have liked to have the house nearer to the lake. Maybe next time, we would select a better location.
We liked everything about the house. It was spacious with all the amenities that we needed, in fact, much more than we needed. A wide range of cutleries and several cleaning equipments were provided which made our stay easier.

New ZealandThe reception desk to take over the key is quite far from the stay house. We had to walk about 2 km to find the place.
The house is cozy and has a good view with necessary stuff. However, it might be better if the owner provides some slippers to wear in the house, especially for bathroom and kitchen area.

New ZealandHuge house with gorgeous views in a quiet neighborhood; if you have been to Lake Tekapo before, you know everything is close by! Super easy check in, and even easier check out. The fireplace was a bonus for a chilly night, although they also have heathers if that's not your thing. The place was clean and tidy, and it has absolutely everything you could possibly need. 10/10, we would definitely stay again, thanks team!

AustraliaThe location , and the expectation of a view but there wasn’t one
The house was extremely well appointed , very clean and a great wood fire . The advertisement photos showed a lake view, but the house is no where near a view. We would not have booked this property if we had known it did not have a view of the lake as that was our reason for coming to Lake Tekapo, therefore bit expensive for no view .

AustraliaThe dryer needs constant encouragement as it keeps stopping but that was the only thing we can note :)
The house is very spacious, clean and has a week equipped kitchen. There were even baby bottles and an emergency kit! The deck is perfect for stargazing. Most of the furniture is quite old but it actually adds to the character of the place. We really enjoyed our stay there.
