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...).

New ZealandBookings you listed 2 bedrooms as you counted the front room. It wasn't 2 separate bedrooms. We needed two bedrooms but can say the couch was very comfortable.

United States of AmericaThere is no fixed mirror above either bathroom sink, so you may have a challenge shaving, brushing/flossing teeth, etc (we did). However, there are a couple of small portable mirrors available, but those can still be very difficult to use -- especially when the bathroom lighting is minimal. There are slanted ceilings in the bedroom, so a tall person (like me) can easily bump their head at night (I did). Also, be aware there is no WiFi (as noted in the listing), but it does have some streaming services like Netflix available via the wired-Internet-enabled TV.
It's a very big place -- especially for just 1 bed, with 2 TV's (one gigantic) and 2 toilets (one on each floor). Hosts are friendly and very accommodating for our dietary breakfast requests (vegan) - exceeding expectations. The place has everything you need and is in great condition. If you don't need WIFI - this place is almost perfect.

AustraliaA breeze block in the outdoor area to shelter from the prevailing winds whilst bbqing and enjoying the outdoors would be great, but all in all I really can not fault the premise.
Breakfast was more than adequate. Nice touch having Brugen bread. 2 x cereals fruit eggs and bread butter jam and marmite, plenty of tea coffee and milk. Keys were left out for early check in which was appreciated. Perfect place to unwind with all the attention to detail taken care of for you.

New ZealandAmazing food, such a nice selection to choose from for the supplied breakfast. Hosts were lovely and went above and beyond. House is off the beaten path and so quiet, so many birds and rabbits around. Facilities were all top notch, the house was huge and we had loads of private space to ourselves. Location is not far from the CBD to go shopping or to the beach.
