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 ZealandBetter cooking pots. The handles got very hot and had to use a tea towel to hold them. Bedding. the linen was too light and cold (went in spring). a woollen blanket needed to be supplied. There was an option of a second duvet but it didnt really create warmth. There was an electric blanket, but i dont like them going all night. Even tho we didnt need it. Theres no aircon. So in summer im unsure how the house is cooled.
Great location, quick drive to the centre. You could walk, it would take around 20mins. The house was nice and spacious and had everything you needed. 2 carpark spaces and could fit more if needed. Quiet area.

New ZealandIt was cozy and warm, fireplace was wonderful on the cold windy nights. The surrounding trees offered a tranquil vibe with nature. Being close to the lake and and a short walk to the supermarket /park was a great convenience. It felt like we had everything we needed to relax and keep our family entertained.

New ZealandThe hot water tank was too small, and the heat was too slow, so there wasn't enough for the three of us to bathe.
In traditional New Zealand housing, the log cabin is very comfortable, the bed is not soft. The location is very good, very close to the church, 2 minutes walk. It is very convenient to shoot stars at night and walk to the central area to shoot. In addition, the terrace has a better effect on shooting stars.

SingaporeYou can't see the lake from the house but it was just a short drive away. If the TV has Netflix, it would've been perfect!
The fireplace and the heaters provided were really warm, our nights were really comfortable. The house was really lovely too, with a nice bench at the balcony and all facilities really clean and well maintained. Can also do some stargazing at the balcony with the camping chairs provided. Appreciated that the toilet and shower were separate, and the kitchen is really clean! We learnt to chop our own firewood for the fireplace.

AustraliaDeck was great with lots of outdoor furniture but shame it gets sun the whole day, main bed felt hard but lumpy and pillows are terrible and made sleep difficult.. either super soft and lumpy so they flatten or already flat like pancakes. A dryer or clothes line would have been good as it was hard to get clothes dry .. seems like there used to be a dryer as well as a dishwasher according to the info book there .. maybe pre reno.. and although it sleeps six there’s only 5 mismatched not nice glasses.. this does not seem like a bit investment to make yet would make a big difference.. same with fry pans.. 2 maybe use to have non stick coating but it has come off or nearly off .. again not a big outlay to make a big difference if wanting to cook.
Nice outlook over paddock and snow capped mountains in background, comfy lounge, logburner fire with prepared wood to use, good tv
