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.).

AustraliaThis is a great stay if you are looking for a budget option. The internet is a bit patchy but this is widespread across Port Barton.
Great location and host. Walking distance from everything and the host was really welcoming. Fairly basic facilities but it has everything you need. The host offered a clothes washing service for a small fee, and gave us great tips and tricks to ensure we made the most of our time in Port Barton. Right next door to a pharmacy and ATM too which is handy!

United KingdomJust a few points that would improve the property/stay massively: - emptying bathroom bin. We had to ask to have this done and then it was just placed outside our room in an open bin with chickens and dogs running around it didn’t feel hygienic. - we extended our stay from 3 nights to 5 and weren’t offered a change of bedding or towels. - the bathroom door isn’t attached properly and so lacks privacy. Also the mosquito net in the bathroom has gaps and so loads came into the bathroom and due to the door- then the bedroom. Just something to note that would be easily fixed
Central in port Barton. A few minutes walk to the beach. The host family live beside and are so lovely and can’t do enough to help you

United KingdomWe booked 4 nights here, but only needed 3 due to us leaving late on the 3rd evening to catch a flight. We didn’t want to check out at 12pm so paid for the extra night so we could have the room all day until we needed to leave, and be able to pack/shower leisurely etc. We notified a staff member of this so they were aware it wouldn’t be occupied during that fourth night and we would return the keys in the evening when we leave. They completely mis understood and tried to make us leave at 12pm after our third night and could not understand that we had PAID to be there, even after showing them my booking. Was asking if I wanted to extend the stay, and that I needed to leave before 12 so the new guests can come, which is obviously not possible as we had the room booked until 12pm the FOLLOWING day. I had to take a short motorbike ride to a school to speak to another lady and explain this, it was all very long winded and probably took over an hour to sort out and really messed with our plans for our last day in Port Barton. I am sure this was an innocent mistake that reflected poor English but it was a stressful last day! we also had laundry done where and two items (that we know off) weren’t returned, we had to go back twice to ask for these. so maybe a better system could be put in place to organise the laundry as if I hadn’t of noticed these would have not been returned to me…it’s hard to remember all clothes you handed over! this does not reflect the overall stay, and the staff were friendly. just worth noting!
It was clean and comfortable, in a great location and offered tea/coffee/hot water which was really appreciated.
