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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely loved the privacy & quiet location, well supplied kitchen & bathroom. Beds were extremely comfortable and whole place very clean and well decorated. Loved sitting outside on the deck watching the sunrise as well as the sunsets. We loved our evening visits by the farm dog who came to say hello and enjoy her pats! Definitely coming back to stay when in this part of NZ again.

ChinaWifi can't connect, Both the phone and e-mail contacted the staff, and those with a very bad attitude were hung up, and the email was also very indifferent to express that it was my problem. Let me turn on the power and tell me that all other passengers can connect to the Wifi. The result is that the Wifi power is on, and finally left the next day without connecting to the Wifi. Google Maps is easy to take the wrong way, so be careful not to miss the entrance to the house, so we accidentally drove to someone else's ranch and had to get off and ask for directions.
The scenery is great and the kitchen is full of seasonings.

New ZealandWould be next level exceptional if there was a shade sail over the front decking area. It was super hot the day we stayed and shade would have been great.
Loved the rural setting with peace and quiet broken only by gentle mooing of the cows. The house was surprisingly spacious with plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 kids. Everything is there at your fingertips. We opted for takeaways so didn't use the kitchen fully however omelets were made for breakfast next day. Fully confident to recommend this lovely cottage for a relaxing stay.

New ZealandAs a frequent Hobbiton movie set goers and so having stayed in lots of places around Matamata , I can assure you - it’s probably the best we ever stayed at . Close to both the town and the Hobbiton. Cute, clean, stylish. I loved the comfortable bed ! What can be better than to lie down and seeing stars and the moon in the windows :) I wish we could stayed for another couple of days ! We would be happy to stay again if it’s available for our next Hobbiton visit ! Thank you Kelly ! Marry Xmas to you and your family !
