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 bed was low & had a very hard mattress, not to my liking. It felt like being on a pull out couch bed. At one point the bed seemed to "Settle" as if it wasn't secured properly. There was no "guest" profile on the Netflix, not sure if someone left it logged in, or they didn't have one. No wifi instructions, although listing says WiFi available.
Great location, not far from the lake front, an easy walk to it for sure. No noise from the rest of the house, which made it feel like we were alone, rather than staying in someone's guest house. Bathroom was well stocked, towels, soaps etc. Clean and well presented. TV was good, well positioned.

New ZealandI could not fault my stay.
The studio was private, secure & quiet while less than 1km from the lake. It was beautifully decorated & spotlessly clean & only 5 minutes drive to the main shopping & restaurants. Perfect if you are travelling as a couple or on your own. The host was very friendly & thoughtful. Nice touches with the sweets & toiletries. Parking was ample for even a very large vehicle. Highly recommend & will make it my first choice when travelling to Taupo.

New ZealandThe bed was quite low and a little bit uncomfortable. There was also no air conditioning and we stayed in summer so the room was quite hot. Can also hear the owners through the door (which is understandable because it's just a room off the house). Besides that it was perfect :)
Loved how clean and cozy the place was :) It had pretty much everything we needed.

New ZealandBed is very uncomfortable, didn’t sleep unfortunately. The bed base made me sore. Couldn’t leave the bathroom door open as the room would swarm with small insects.
Accomodation in great location from the lake, not far from town. Neighbours were really friendly. Quiet and pretty much an eyesore with the surrounding properties!. Property was clean, tidy and inviting. Would stay again.

AustriaOnly one suggestion as there a very well equipped kitchenette ... just one or two mugs might be great as anything hot in a glass is a bit difficult to handle ... but as said, everything else was there ...
I had a nice one-night stay. Communication was quick and efficient, the room was comfortable and very clean, all looked very new. Nice bathroom and plenty of private parking space. Quiet residential area at the end of a cut-de-sac. No complaints whatsoever.

New ZealandOverall very clean and tidy little place. A few things could have been abit better. One of them being the bed which was very hard and uncomfortable. Also heard lots of noise that came from the owners which wasn’t ideal. Especially when trying to sleep first thing in the morning. Not the nicest to wake up to cooking smells coming into the room either. Just a few things to work on but other than that enjoyed the stay.
