Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IrelandWe loved every moment of our stay, the only downside was that we didn’t book for longer! :)
Hands down the nicest weekend break we have experienced to date, such a gorgeous cottage with beautiful bedrooms in the peaceful surroundings of Emma’s vineyard. The generosity of the hosts was absolutely amazing - leaving us a complimentary bottle of wine and food for breakfast, along with a complimentary wine tasting! Our experience was above any other we have had in a long time. The cottage was clean, tidy and beautifully decorated when we arrived and was a lovely home away from home for our weekend. I could not recommend enough and will absolutely be returning for our next visit to Hunter Valley.

United States of AmericaIt lacked a little in kitchen amenities and basics like facial tissues and paper towels.
We were staying right on a working vineyard. The place was quiet and we were visited by kangaroos every day. Also the pool was a welcome relief from the heat but was not clean the first day we used it.

AustraliaThere were no herbal teas. We couldn't eat breakfast on the verandah as the sun was hitting the side with the table and chairs, maybe provide some "movable" shade (like an umbrella?)
Nice touch to have croissants and yoghurt there, but as there was no oven, the croissants couldn't be heated (microwave makes them soggy). Liked the pool as it was 43 degrees that day. Also like the air conditioner!

AustraliaThe accommodation was great, stayed in the 4 bedroom cottage which has the best location in my opinion as it is right next to the swimming pool and the cellar door. The room size is larger than average. There were kangaroos roaming around the vineyard in the early morning and late afternoon which the kids love. Croissants, orange juice and a bottle of wine was provided when we arrived which is a nice touch and appreciated. Will definitely come back in the future.

Australianothing major, bathroom floors could be slippery when wet so maybe some signage. BBQ worked fine but possibly due for a deep clean or upgrade.

AustraliaNo oven in the 2 bed cottage. Not enough kindling/smaller wood for the fire to get going our first night. Second night was better as fire had ash from night before. No board games or cards.
The location was fabulous. Beautiful sunsets over the property. Lovely wine tasting. Interesting exploring the old cemetery.

AustraliaBeds are not very comfortable. My mattress was really soft. The graveyard on the property was a bit fresky!! The plates are too big for the dishwasher!
The communication from Emma's Cottage was spot on, they provided detailed info on how to access the house in advance and then called us on the day, to make sure we had got in OK! The house is a great space, with 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs + a self-contained unit downstairs, including one additional double bedroom + bathroom and living space. There is a wood-burning fire upstairs + air con throughout the property to keep you comfortable all year round. There is a huge, wrap-around balcony to admire the fabulous view, with kangaroos hopping around. The house is away from the cellar door and other parts of the property, so it's very peaceful. Amenities at the property are excellent. When we arrived there was a plate of croissants waiting for us, as well as a complimentary bottle of red wine :-) The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of plates, cups, cutlery for all your needs. All the mod-cons - coffee machine with pods, oven & utensils etc. Full toiletries including delightfully smelling body wash, shampoo & conditioner + hand & body cream are supplied in all the bathrooms. We are already planning our return trip. Thank you to all the staff
