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.).

AustraliaOne thing I'd recommend for the room is to install a couple of coat hooks. It's a small but surprisingly important detail given it's the first thing you look for when you come inside from the cold. Also the luggage rack is on its last legs and should probably be replaced/repaired.
Lovely little place tucked away in a side street just 5 mins drive from the town centre. We thought the sleepout hideaway was just what we needed for a short stay. The room may have been small but it was well equipped with all the amenities we could have asked for.

United StatesEven though the unit is detached from the main house, we could hear the family in the mornings. There is an Oldtimer car parked right next to the unit and when it was sitting there idling, a lot of fumes entered the unit. Minor, but some hooks on the wall for hanging clothing would be nice.
Private space. Comfortable bed. Kitchenette with table and stools. Clean.

United KingdomWe thought the location might be a problem as it was a bit outside of the city centre and we were unfamiliar with the area, however it was easy to navigate and the city centre layout map left in the room for us helped a lot.
Comfortable, quiet and clean. The owners were very friendly and told us about good places to visit, shop and eat. Parking was available for us.

IrelandIt was further away from the town than I realised, probably more like a 30 to 40 minute walk. There were buses that you could catch close to the property but they weren’t very regular. I didn’t have car so struggled a bit with getting around and ended up getting taxis. I would suggest having a car if you’re staying here.
A very comfortable studio with nice facilities, perfect for a short stay. I was shown around by the owner when I got there, which was helpful for knowing how everything worked.

New ZealandVery few details can be improved. Had ants on the kitchenette as forgotten to put an apple core in the rubbish bin the morning before the race but nothing terrible and no present if able to keep up the tidiness. Constant pool pump sound if you wanted have a wee nap during the day but was off early enough and on late enough for a quiet long sleep during the night. The lack of cooking facilities doesn't help the traveler on a budget that relies on cooking as a way of keeping the budget low so have in mind that you will have to have getaways, lunch or dinner outside.
Excellent location, only 3 km away from the Waipa mtb, Reedwoods and the Whaka 100 event races (main reason to travel to Rotorua), also not far walking from supermarket, and other shops. Bus stop was only a few meters away from the property so has a great connectivity with airport, town center and other attractions. Place was super tidy and clean, comfy bed, good water pressure on shower and internet connection. Hosts were very friendly and supportive, they provided some tools to help fixing some issue with the bicycle, also offered using the bbq and allow guests to use the property's pool; they looked after while still allowing privacy and space.
