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.).

AustraliaWe lived the location. So much to see around the area. Mary was an amazingly warm and welcoming host and the property and setting was stunning. We felt as if we were staying in a 5 star luxurious hotel suite. On our departure, Mary gifted to us some beautiful fresh produce from her farm. Breakfast was so good. Thankyou Mary, we will recommend your stay to anyone we know heading in your direction.

CuraçaoJust a tiny detail: although there was an ample breakfast ready in the fridge, we would have loved a fresh piece of fruit, in stead of the canned fruit.
Mary’s Tranquil B&B is excellent! Spacious, quiet, very tasteful interior. Outside terrace. Beautiful big garden with many avocado trees. The owners kindly gave us a bag of super delicious avocados when we left.

New ZealandThe property was absolutely stunning, and the accommodation itself very modern but comfy, with everything you could possibly want/need. Mary was a great host, checking in with me the morning of my booking and ensuring everything was to my liking. Couldn't have gotten better accommodation anywhere else, or a better host!

United StatesWe have no negative comments since we enjoy our stay very much. Highly recommended Great experience.
Mary was very responsive and attentive during our stay. This is our first time using a B&B and we were truly bless to have found Mary; She was very friendly and welcoming. Mary shared her lovely avocados from her beautiful avocado orchard which we are grateful for. The place is truly a gem, we are sad we couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely be returning to Mary’s place.

United StatesThis will be a review more complicated and longer than usual. We are in our 70s and always dreamed of visiting New Zealand and, like most people who have children, jobs,ups, and downs during the long journey, we finally got here. The minute we drove up to the concrete house, we knew it was special. Mary came out to meet us ( she is even more beautiful than the house!). The house was spotless. Every blanket, pillow, towel, and dish are just perfect, and all this on 8 hectares!! The next shocker was that Mary and Neville owned a beach house in Matapouri with a view of the beach and bay with the same perfection. It's very hard to explain the level of elegance and detail In the decor... sort of fancy in a comfortable way but loving and warm like the owners of these two properties. We can't wait to come back, but 5 stars isn't high enough!
