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 ZealandBeing woken by the convoy of rubbish and recycling trucks. Also, it would be nice to have a small table in the unit at which we could eat breakfast. The unit’s wee tables are too low and it was too cold to use the picnic table across the road.
The high ceiling made the studio unit feel more spacious but the best feature was the luxurious bed. And thanks to our gracious hosts, we were also very grateful to park our electric car off street and recharge it. And it was the perfect location for walking our dog and catching the ferry to Lyttelton.

CanadaIf you drive, the road is very twisty from Christchurch. Remember to bring ground coffee for coffee press as none was provided. The room was a bit hot at the end of the day, so we had to open all the windows to cool it down, no air con. We were there at the end of February.
room was lovely very new, nice view, exactly as pictured. Host was very helpful, Lot's of information.

New ZealandThe only thing, which certainly didn’t ruin the weekend, was that there was nothing to cook our steak on. So there’s a microwave only for cooking, but now we know, we can work around that.
Beautiful, good quality, appliances, bed, coverings, dishes…. Just beautiful!! Loved everything in the room. Real luxury place to stay, and lovely surroundings. Was like Paradise.

United KingdomIt was all amazing.
Everything about the accommodation is wonderful. The location, the veiw, the bed, the little kitchen that was fully equipped. And the owners were just lovely. It was so clean with quality furnishings. The bathroom is big, and the shower is luxurious. The bed is amazing, and we slept so well. We were very lucky to have found the accommodation and loved it so much that we are already planning to stay here when we get back to New Zealand! The area itself is quiet with a small bar and eatery just down the road. It is a perfect setting for a relaxing and stress-free stay.

New ZealandThe room would benefit from aircon and the stones from the road flocking up around the doorways could be often maintained
This was a lucky find last minute booking 1 day in advance for New Year’s Eve. Me my family and fur babies enjoyed the comfort and quality of this home. The kitchen equipped with all your necessities and I especially fell in love with the boujee wine glasses. That’s a very elegant touch. I thought the dining set was also very nice too. Bathroom was exceptionally modern with awesome shower pressure and also necessities included. It was easy to be comfortable but found without air con it was rather warmer than ideal. Parking was easy to access and I loved the neighbourhood everyone was super friendly.
