Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 ZealandThis is a super place and we really wish we could have stayed longer. Spacious, cosy and super comfortable. The breakfast was great as well. Lovely host who was very accommodating when we ended up running later than planned. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed one night from 20 to 21 March in this gracious heritage property. We enjoyed the traditional furnishings and comfort. It was great to have a separate living area with a couch and dining table. The bedroom was beautiful with a comfortable bed, with feather pillows. The morning sun streamed in across the lovely gardens, too. All in all, a delightful stay.

New ZealandThe breakfast was adequate but could have been enhanced with fruit juice and a muesli option. Maybe also additional breakfast toast spread options. The TV didn’t work (was warned of that by the host).
A quaint old 2-storey house with the rented accommodation occupying part of downstairs. The accommodation has plenty of space and a good indoor-outdoor connection from the bedroom (French doors). Comfortable furnishings and modern bathroom (good shower). Sunny location. Friendly host.

United KingdomA small point, but renters should be aware that the property requires payment in cash. In our case this was NZ$ 174. I paid the owner NZ$ 180 and am now back home in the UK and I'm still waiting for the the NZ$ 6 change.
The suite of rooms was great (lounge, bedroom and bathroom), nicely laid out and clean. Breakfast was laid out ready for us.

AustraliaForest Manor is a grand old manor that has been renovated. There is only 1 unit available and that has a separate bedroom and a lounge with a bed. The unit is completely independent of the main house. The rooms are large and the bathroom is very modern with the best shower we have found so far during our travels. The beds are really comfortable and with the rooms so quiet, we had a wonderful relaxing sleep.
