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 StatesThere was no couch to lounge on. It was raining our first day so we were inside and had to sit on bed.
It was clean and really cute! The views were amazing. Host Biddy was so nice and responsive. Bed was comfy.

AustraliaMain bed a bit soft, not great for dodgy backs. BYO butter, only margarine supplied.
Stunning views, lots of birds, quiet country mountain setting. Cool old school coffee grinder, nice beans. Loft beds good, lots of extra blankets if needed. Star-gazing excellent. Great BBQ. Absolutely charming cottage. Love the window seats. Really lovely host, no hassles. Like the artworks. Bottle of milk in glass bottle. Wifi adequate.

New ZealandGreat quiet location - close enough to Waitomo for all the bits and pieces you need but out in the country for quiet. Awesome breakfast supplies were provided incl homemade yoghurt and jam. A lovely wood burner and toasty blankets provided for warmth. The walk around the farm was awesome. Amazing views from the cabin.

New ZealandThis would be a good place to stay for those who want the 'off the grid' experience. For us I was disappointed I didn't do more research. An eclectic cottage with no modern conveniences or luxuries but the price tag of the luxury hotels. Also not a place anyone with allergies or hayfever would want to stay. We had two very sick allergy sufferers after one night. If you want to step back in time, without wifi, hairdryer, TV or toaster then this is the experience you'll appreciate but be prepared to pay for it
Great views, amazing breakfast. Awesome to have all the tuis flying around in the harakeke.
