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 KingdomThe only thing I can think of is that the breakfast tray would be even better with a choice of bread for breakfast but the self catering breakfast tray was great - home made yogurt and granola, fresh orange juice, fruit, preserves etc.
The Church Accommodation was better than it looked in the photos, very clean and comfortable and they provided a great breakfast tray. We received a really warm welcome and the owners provided lots of information about the area and Hot Water Beach. The grounds were beautiful and our cottage provided everything we needed. Close to the town centre and the beach we liked staying here.

GermanyGreat location to explore Hahei and Hot Water Beach, only a 5min walk from the beach. Lovely accomodation for self-catering, with the option to add breakfast and have a meal in the bistro on site, free parking available on site. Have used this accomodation before and can recommend it. Very friendly staff.

United KingdomNo sofa to sit on to watch tv in the evening (maybe a sofa bed would help) as there were 2 built in single beds in the cottage. The tv was quite small.
We loved the accommodation and being able to sit out on the decking, it felt very private and not overlooked. It was a great location just 6/7 minutes walk to beach, the shops and restaurants were a little closer. Glen was very friendly and extremely helpful with advice on things to do in the area, walks and particularly parking and tide times for Hot Water Beach.

United KingdomWe inadvertently left the veranda light on when we went to have dinner and on return there was a huge swarm of small flying beetle insects outside the front door. It was unavoidable that some would enter the room with us and it took us ages to get rid of them all, and it felt unsettling. Would advise future guests to not make this mistake!
The room was spacious and beautifully designed, and the bed was really comfortable. It was lovely to sit on the veranda and look at the beautiful gardens and birds whilst having breakfast. We also had a really delicious meal at the high quality restaurant which was on the premises. Self check in was very easy. We really enjoyed our brief stay in Hahei.

United KingdomOpted for the room with a fireplace, but allocated, when we arrived, the accessible cabin (my wife uses a wheelchair). Everything was perfect. Everyone was so engaging and helped in every way possible to make our stay really memorable. Continental breakfast deliver to the room is great value and very tasty. The small details making our visit enjoyable without a hitch were amazing. We used the fire, although we ended up a little too hot; not an actual issue with the separate bedroom, but mentioned to stress the efficiency of the wood burner. Great help with knowledge of the best activities and visits for our 2-day stay. A wonderful start to our New Zealand adventure, we really could not have booked better accommodation. Very highly recommended.

United StatesThere really wasn't anything we didn't like. Just be forewarned there is no air conditioning. There are plenty of fans however and it cools off enough at night.
It was comfortable, clean, secluded, and peaceful. The garden area was adorable. The staff went above and beyond to help with laundry and knowledge of the area and even letting us borrow an htmi cord. It was more than I wanted to pay but the place was beautiful so it was worth it. We got to pick lemons off the tree in the garden even. It was a wonderful base to come back to. The kitchen was fully stocked.
