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 Zealandliteral perfection if you need a country escape - nothing to report here!
We were completely blown away by this place! We booked it last minute as a child-free treat to ourselves before the kids got back from their grandparents and it did not disappoint. The privacy, the layout of the baches, the bedding, the details (insect repellent!!), the pool (perfect temp and we stayed in way longer than we had planned, in the rain - BLISS!). We cannot wait to return with our kids and friends in future. Anissa is so warm and helpful too - huge thanks to you and your team for making our little escape so perfect!

New ZealandIt is tough to find a fault with this property. The keys for the locks were a little tough. The walls and ceiling were an older style cheap wood but still very clean. The kitchen area is a bit narrow.
This property far exceeded my expectations. Despite its very sizeable grounds, the baches are well spaced out in 3 different camps - while only an hour from Auckland for us, it felt very remote and tranquil. Never have I been to an accommodation that was so well stocked, it had a washing machine with powder, laundry with laundry powder, and even a dryer. There were excess beds for our booking. The showers were very spacious. The kitchens were well stocked. It even had wheelchair access. The outdoor pool was very clean despite being next to vegetation. This was the second cheapest option for us at the time for the area, yet it was the best value for money I've had on Booking.com.

AustraliaThick and firm pillows.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Riverside Matakana. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with great décor and crisp bed sheets on a comfy bed. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. The only disappointing thing was that the pillows were very thick and firm. I would have liked softer ones. Other than that, I can’t fault the place and will definitely go back. And stay longer.

New ZealandNot necessarily a bad thing, more just a comment, note that the 2 x single beds are located in an outhouse which caused us a bit of a headache for the 3yo (we found a solution in the end) but would totally be great for teenagers! (Noted that there are house layouts plans on line that I later saw, but didn't see at the time of booking).
Really enjoyed our 5 night stay here with our baby and 3yo. The accommodation was like a little house perched atop a vinyard (units 10 and 11 in brilliant locations with views). If you're looking for a relaxing get-away this is the place. There are so so many things you do around Matakana especially if you're into food, wine, art, beaches, walks and hikes. Plus the Saturday market was brilliant - and we bought lots of the foods and goodies on offer.
