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 mossys outside at night! Take some spray! We did tell our host about it the next day and he supplied us with a citronella candle and fly spay and we didn't get bitten again after that which was great thank you Tim 😁
I liked that there was everything that we needed there and our host Tim was very helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could be. I loved the enchanted forest feel. The beds were comfy and the location is close to town, shops and supermarkets which was a great 😃

New ZealandUpstairs bed's a little hard for my liking, but that's personal preference and others may love them.
Good location, central to town. A fun, well setup property that was nice and warm on some cold and wet winter days.

New ZealandThe place is filthy, the sheets on one bed had chewing gum stuck to them my son only told me this when we were checking out. the masterbedroom bed was as hard as a rock. There were birds/rats in the ceiling so we go no sleep. There were used cakes of soap everywhere and the linen and towels were not freshly laundered so smelt musty and damp. the roof in part of the lounge was corflute so no insulation in parts of the building. The kitchen was so dirty we washed plates that we used and couldn't cook any other meals there we just stayed out as much as we could. 3 out of the 4 of us were all itchy and we treated ourselves for scabies when we got home as I sent photos of our rashes to our doctor and she said we could have been bitten by bed bugs. This was an expensive trip for us as we had to eat out to get away from the place. The yard was a mess the owners property next door was an absolute shambles and he never came over. I did tell him we got no sleep after the first night and he offered a partial refund but then never followed through. Our school holidays break was supposed to be fun for our kids but we were all tired and had to stay out all day as the place is just not clean and comfortable.
The location was the only good thing about this place

United KingdomExcellent property in a prime location, lovely rooms and the whole house had a really cool cosy vibe to it. The facilities were spotless and perfect for me and two mates during our 6 night stay. Tim was an amazing host who would help in any way he could if you needed it. Would 100% recommend this property.
