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...).

AustraliaNothing really. We loved everything.
This little spot is just a brilliant location, and sitting in the jacuzzi looking over the bay despite the blustery wind was just so surreal, definitely the highlight of our north island holiday. The cottage is also beautifully appointed.

AustraliaThe only thing I will add here is, transport from the cottage back to the ferry terminal. We didn't know how to book a taxi. We walked with our suitcases in the rain to the restaurant, thinking we could get a coffee and sadly found that it was closed. Unfortunately, we waited for the taxi in the rain.
The cottage was so beautiful and quaint. I loved the breathtaking views that surrounded us. Even though it was very cold, the cottage was lovely and warm. Thank you to hosts for the bottle of champagne that was in fridge. It certainly went down well.

New ZealandOnly problem was that the front door was difficult to lock and we considered going to dinner with the door left unlocked. That ight there was a robbery nearby, so good job we did manage to lock the door.
Location, with views across to Auckland, was very special. The facilities in the cottage were first class. Staying in the cottage made our trip memorable. Bubbles on arrival and breakfast delivered to cottage - very enjoyable

Japanwith the money that was spent for one night, it would’ve been nice to have a hot breakfast served instead a cold one delivered the night before. since the restaurant is right next door one would think that would be more convenient. would’ve loved to light up the fireplace but there were no matches anywhere to be found. the heat pump did very little to warm up the cottage. overall a lovely first experience in Waihiki
a little cottage all to yourself with a jacuzzi. restaurant and bar right next door with delicious food. breathtaking views.

New ZealandBeing met by a host or having a visit from a host soon after advised arrival time would have been a nice gesture. Apart from service staff delivering breakfast we saw no management or host. A luxury stay is very reliant on a Host. We know, we provide luxury accommodation ourselves. Eggs provided for breakfast seemed strange as no cooking facilities except microwave. Only found out when we took the eggs home thinking they were hard boiled that we discovered them uncooked. No idea what we were supposed to do with them for breakfast.
Very cosy cottage. Thoughtful touches. Great view. Walking distance to restaurant. Restaurant staff VERY friendly and service great. Breakfast provided to meet our dietary needs as requested

New ZealandWalking back from venue alone in the dark across carpark and up to cottage. Bed a little too soft for my comfort (but totally a personal comfort - not a problem for anyone wanting to sink deep into slumber) The grumpy guy who couldn't manage a smile or a "have a great day" when I asked him if the shop was open when I was leaving. Lucky I didn't listen to him as I ended up spending a scary few hundred on some pretty good vinos!
Amazing location, close to function. Welcome started the day before with an informative text message from Audrey and then great communication to answer questions. Stunning, clean and both Audrey and the wonderful 'surprise' gardener very pleasant and helpful. Loved the charm of old decor and having a blue tooth speaker on hand and ready to play my music. Breakfast placed ready for morning, the night before. Fresh flowers, stunning views. Bathroom so stunning with a shower that almost gave me a couple of piercings, the water pressure was so good :) Loved the bottle of bubbles and water in the fridge ready to enjoy.
