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.).

United KingdomA bit of a game finding the place, following a trail of yellow tape tied to trees… thought it would never end but it did. Also dreaded the walk up to continue the QCT in the morning.
Formed one highlight of walking the Queen Charlottes Trail. Very isolated, charmingly rustic, beautiful views, relaxing outside hot tub.

The yurt was wonderfully presented and very comfortable. The host was easy to chat to and has crafted a beautiful space. Provided the opportunity to explore nature without many people around. The hot tub was an added bonus!

New ZealandNothing really. I guess the only drawback is that the tides are extreme and to find a sandy beach you have to walk 30 min or bike for 10.
Close to nature , beautiful, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He baked amazing bread and croissants every morning, came and picked us up from various places and lent us his kayaks and bikes. He was truly friendly and a lovely person. The vibe of the place is in tune with nature. At night you can watch the beautiful sunset from the comfort of an outdoor sofa and slow right down to the rhythm of the earth.

This place is amazing - an experience that you just won't get a predictable motel/lodge/hotel. Ian was fantastic, had the hot tub ready to go after our bike ride and the pizzas were some of the best I ever had .. and the bottle of wine on arrival was perfect! A highlight of our holiday for sure!

New ZealandI loved Ngahere Hou! I wished we had stayed longer. Ian was the best host - I’m vegan but he was totally unfazed and made vegan pizza and fresh bread for breakfast. This place has such a lovely vibe to it that is hard to explain. It’s gorgeous and quiet and beautiful. There’s a bonus glow worm trip too! I would 100% return.

AustraliaOur host, Ian, could not do enough for us. We changed plans numerous times due to road conditions, weather etc, but Ian was always quick to reply and offer solutions. Our glamping accommodating offered an experience like no other. The views, the solitude, the wildlife, the breaky (bacon, eggs, oj, coffee, freshly baked bread and croissants) were second to none. Ian's homemade pizzas are pretty awesome too after a hard day's walk on the Queen Charlotte Track.

United KingdomUnique amazing experience. We had the most memorable stay at Ians place. We arrived after a day of walking, jumped in the spa pool and had a great evening enjoying the view and cheeky wekas checking us out. Ian was a great host and even picked us up after some confusion on our walking route. Pizzas were great and breakfast awesome. Just don't drink too much the night before as the walk up to the ridge is no joke!

New ZealandThe toilet needs upgrading for flashing one - possibly by adding a septic tank!
Very unique experience staying in a yurt - Mongolian style! Very clean yurt and kitchen. Everything was sustainable and environmentally friendly; fascinating to be connected with the nature! Shower was in open space, really liked the idea! We impressed with a free bottle of wonderful wine in the room on arrival! Ian prepared a yummy pizza for dinner and offered a drive to Punga Cove as it was too rainy! Fresh bread & scones for breakfast were amazing.
