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 ZealandWe loved the view from the cottage and being able to get close to the animals (and even hand feed them 🙂). The pot belly fire was an extra bonus as were the fresh eggs for breakfast. The taxi service was also an added bonus - very quick and reliable.

New ZealandWhile we really enjoyed our stay, just felt it missed the mark a little for the price. Reading previous reviews we were a little underwhelmed by breakfast (definitely not enough provided for 3 nights) and while the lovely host said we should ask for more, we were just enjoying the time to ourselves so didn’t bother. Outside bath would have been nicer if there had been robes to use? Probably just being picky but at $450 a night it’s definitely up there with expensive hotels!
Very cosy with a lovely setting - loved the fire! Very sunny as well.

We loved everything. A beautiful peaceful location surrounded by vineyards. Woke to the sound of the birds, sheep and the sun rising over the vineyard. A beautiful cottage, cosy and intimate with everything you need for a perfect stay. The pot bellied stove keeps you fabulously warm. Natashya and Jonathan are perfect hosts.

MalaysiaHaving to leave, it was our favourite place we stayed in a 3 week tour of New Zealand
What a fab place, a lovely cottage on a vineyard stocked with lots of local produced goodies for breakfast, with farm animals to feed, a hot tub to soak in and being in the heart of wine country, and not forgetting the friendly hosts we truly wish we had more than 2 nights here.

Fantastic location near the wineries but just outside of Blenheim town. We stayed in the Cottage which was a large space, very comfortable and scenic looking onto the vines of the property next door. Loved feeding the sheep living on the property and meeting the chickens and alpacas! Great outdoor spa for use and overall very relaxing place to stay.
