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.).

We booked lavender hill for my bridal party to stay at the night before and night of wedding. It was such a beautiful setting, with plenty of space! My husband and I did our first look in the lavender field and it was blooming so beautifully! Trish was so welcoming and we appreciated the special touches like the freshly baked bread and breakfast. I would definitely recommend staying here.

AustraliaWe couldn’t fault anything about the property.
Lavender Hill provided a picturesque, serene space for our family get-together. The accommodation was perfect, very spacious and it’s lovely that each room has its own bathroom. The provisions for breakfast were excellent, generous amounts and many options. Trish was great with communication and customer service.

We enjoyed the farm stay and the host Trisha was very hospitable. She gave us a farm tour and gin/limoncello tasting. We love the breakfast prepared, which includes homemade bread which was really fresh and soft.

Hong KongNothing really.
The farm house was exactly what we were looking for - it wasn’t too remote but yet with convenience of just being a 30 mins drive to the city centre. The facility was spacious and excellent, very well kept and clean. The host was extremely friendly and warm - overall a very wonderful stay for our first trip to New Zealand and Auckland.

Excellent breakfast provisions: generous amounts of fresh fruit, a range of cereals, yoghurt, croissants and toast bread. The bedrooms, all with ensuites, have very comfortable beds and quality bed linen. The kitchen is well-appointed, the dining and living areas are attractively furnished and comfortable. The farm tour and talk/tasting are excellent in giving an overview of the lavender production and a background to how the family-run business operates today. And who doesn’t love alpacas? Trish is very welcoming, her enthusiasm and love for the place shining through.
