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...).

AustraliaThe tiniest of niggles, the microwave on top of the fridge is too high and a bit dangerous getting hot food and liquids out but such a minor point and easily fixed
The most beautiful setting and a gorgeous property! A short walk to the most glorious beach and on days when we didn’t feel like doing anything we just sat outside and watched the wildlife. The birdbaths, which we washed and refilled daily were a draw for many native birds and the resident Rosenberg’s Monitor was an absolute delight to watch as he moved through, sunning himself on the way

AustraliaBecause I am not familiar with or familiar with a new environment, how is the shopping situation I received? We people from the city are very accustomed to having close contact with humidity, but on Kangaroo Island, we may not have prepared well. If the homeowner could prepare some eggs, milk, and bread in advance for future guests, I believe guests who come to stay would be very grateful. These are not very expensive foods that are very daily needs for the family, and can meet the needs of this ordinary breakfast. Yes, if it's okay, it would be great if the homeowner could help prepare. If it's not prepared, it's okay. It's best to give a hint to new guests. Well, maybe we haven't paid much attention to it either. Let's see what we're looking forward to in the future.
The overall layout of the room is quite good, well, there are many small designs that are carefully thought out, and the overall presentation presents a very comfortable scene. Well, the theme of sailing is a very interesting design for single parties, which can reflect the owner's energy and interests, giving every person living here a sense of story.

DenmarkOnly minor details keep this from being a 10 star review: We found 2 fire ants by the bathtub. The night lamp in the second bedroom as well as the Bluetooth speaker weren’t working. There are kangaroos on the property which is obviously amazing to watch, but they do come for the food and as they are wild animals, we don’t think they should be fed by humans.
The location couldn’t be any better for KI. It’s so close to the ferry terminal, making arrival and departure easy breezy, but at the same time Island Beach (one of the best swimming beaches on the island) is literally right next to it, a 2 minute walk. The fireplace and outdoor bathtub were LUSH especially for this bizarre winter-in-summer weather. The kitchen was the best stocked I have ever witnessed at a holiday house, from all spices to a delicious free wine and sodastreamer, there was nothing to miss. Don’t hesitate to book here.

Lovely property with great facilities. Everything we would have wanted was provided. Very well provided kitchen, we particularly enjoyed the espresso machine. Fantastic location that was a great jumping off point to everything we wanted to see. Nearby beach was lovely. All the practical stuff aside, it just felt like a beach house. Somewhere that immediately got us into a relaxed holiday mood.

AustraliaVery welcoming, relaxing location, with everything you could need available nice! nice and close to the beach which is good for a walk or a swim! The bath on the hill in nature is a different experience, very relaxing amongst the trees, worth braving the cold weather for! Feeding the Roos at the front door was another highlight. Our daughter loved the fully equipped kids room, and was very sad to leave, as where we all! Hope to come visit again!
