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 was a bit difficult to find, a sign at the entry of the gravel driveway would be helpful.
The house is located far away from any source of noise, The only sounds are those of crickets and birds. There is a fully equipped large kitchen. All furniture is of good quality and stylish. The bed and sofa are comfortable. There is an additional chamber where luggage can be stored. The landlord gave us a very friendly welcome and took his time to show us around. He had the fridge well filled with high quality food, so that we could enjoy a delicious full breakfast.

If the entrance gate is shut, ignore the 'No access' 'private property' signs. That's where you're heading... somewhere with privacy.
The goodies provided for breakfast were delicious, particularly the fresh eggs from their own chooks. The location is wonderful, peaceful and calm, with the only neighbours being the farm animals and inquisitive birds. The patio catches the evening sun and is a perfect place to chill out at the end of the day.

What a beautiful cottage, modern and very comfortable but with a lot of charm. The breakfast provided was amazing. Bacon, eggs, bread, spreads, blueberries, yoghurt, cereals, juice - it certainly exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the very private, quiet, rural location as that is exactly what we were looking for.

The location lets you be somewhat off grid gazing out onto the lush farmland whilst still having comforts like wifi and tv if you want to use them. The hosts are also incredible offering fresh orange juice and yoghurt in the fridge and a few other refreshments free to use making meal times extra special. Lastly guests are allowed to use their adorable juke box music player- the perfect vibe curator! Love this place - I will definitely be returning!

One very concerning thing is that there was no cell phone reception and given its isolation should you have a medical event this would not be a great outcome. The owners property had reception as it was on a rise some distance from the cottage, having their number was the only option should someone need to contact you or you needed assistance – this is assuming they are home.
The location was absolutely fine if you wanted to have some peace and quiet – nice outlook to paddocks and local forest. The Wi-Fi was ok, this was via the owners property..

The double bed is situated in the living room which is open to the kitchen area. The impression from the description on Booking.com is that you sleep in the bedroom which in actual fact is the size of a small dressing room, has no curtain and only a single bed.
Lovely breakfast ingredients supplied. Great location between Mapua and Upper Moutere. Quiet rural setting.
