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.).

NetherlandsNice little accommodation and it had everything that you need for a short or even longer stay. Nice little kitchen and a proper size bathroom and bedroom. We wish we had more time to see the surroundings but we really only spent a night there. Communication with the owner was excellent and fast.

New ZealandNo complaint at all. The bedroom ranch slider needs fixing as it didn’t lock. Also it might be a good idea to put in a microwave.
The openness and private and quiet setting of the property. Also the bed and pillows the most comfortable I have slept in. Well self contained with everything you need.

New ZealandInitially concerned about the potential for a yoga retreat based on the description and visuals, I was relieved to find this accommodation perfectly suited to my diving needs. While not aiming for 100% perfection, the comfortable bed, serene atmosphere, internet access, and the pleasant surprise of a tree to organize my dive gear met my requirements. Despite minor inconveniences like missing conditioners and toothpaste typically found in hotels, I am well-prepared, and this doesn't bother me. Considering the reasonable price paid, the value here is remarkable. Its proximity to Tutukaka Marina aligns with my criteria, making it a top choice for future diving trips. While I'd prefer to keep this gem to myself, I must admit it's my go-to spot for Tutukaka diving adventures. On a side note, the owner graciously lent me a garden hose and repeatedly checked if I needed anything. A sincere thank you for the warm hospitality. P.S. If you're open to suggestions for improvements, feel free to reach out. Otherwise, looking forward to my next visit.

New ZealandA grill and bake small oven would be good and a few plugs would be useful Hard to wash dishes or shave without these.
We liked the Bach boho feel and would recommend this stay to anyone wishing to explore the Tutukaka Coast. So much in a small area. The essentials are there and it wasn't hard to work out what we needed. No TV was great as we had a radio. Not for everyone but wake up to moreporks tuis and a rooster. Nature's heart beats here. Easy to sleep in the dark cool quiet as the bed was so comfy.

New ZealandBreezy/drafty/cold kitchen-living area - had to rug up well for dinner and breakfast! Missing some utensils, like a vegetable peeler, a grater and a fish-slice for use with the pan. Also a pot/pan scrubber pad would be useful, for clean up.
Quirky, easy, clean, spacious. Comfortable and warm bedroom.
