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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

It could do with a path from the driveway to the entry, it had been raining and the grass was wet and muddy making it difficult to reach the steps without getting muddy wet shoes.

Very private property near the main beach and shops (~10min walk). The kitchen is complete, the bedrooms are very comfortable and the house actually looks better than in the pictures. The communication with the owner was very good and clear. The check in/out instructions were very simple and clear, easy to follow.

Nothing at all
The property was extremely spacious and comfortable for 5 people. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and all the bedrooms were cosy. It was also so close to the town centre which made everything so easy. The staff were also so proactive when we had an issue with the key.

Harvey's was a fantastic place to stay. The house was bigger than expected, with a sizeable kitchen and ample living room space for 8. We used the outdoor furniture and BBQ alot, whilst also being tremendously convenient to get to the bustling hub of Byron Bay.

The coffee machine spurted hot coffee over me, as well as all over the benchtop, floor and walls. When I told the host, they implied that I hadn't made the coffee correctly and didn't offer any solutions for a fix - we then couldn't use the coffee machine for the rest of the stay. When we left a book behind, we asked for it to be posted, which they were happy to do, but at a cost of $60 service fee as well as postage costs which I found excessive. When we first walked into the house, it smelled musty. We had to air out the house on arrival. A bit disappointing that there was no fire pit as per the photos - it was cool at night and would have added to the stay. The lounges are the most uncomfortable I have ever sat on. They seem to be outdoor lounges, not ones to relax on, which was disappointing. When I rang and asked for a late check out, the person told me she can't authorise that but she would get someone to call me back. I'm still waiting! Overall, great location, house is OK but a few improvements needed.
Location was great. about a 5 min walk to main street of Byron, but tucked away so not noisy.

No safety rails on stairs. Elderly mother could not navigate stairs as there was nothing to hold onto. This is definitely a safety issue. Lounge was terrible as it was very uncomfortable. Doonas on beds and the spares were very stained with sweat and blood on one of them. Observation- Air conditioner points towards double glass doors instead of into the house. If it was above the doors it would point towards the whole house making it warm.
Location and size. Kitchen and outdoor area were lovely. Beautiful position nice quiet neighbourhood and so close to everything. Communication with host was amazing.
