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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaStairs but I didn't specify that I don't like stairs and it gave some exercise anyway so no problems with it. Shower was downstairs rather than upstairs so a bit awkward as had to carry clothes, etc down then back upstairs. Shower in laundry was limited a little in space to dry yourself but the shower itself was fine. The cover over the top, a bit like a bubble top, was something I hadn't seen before.
Lovely garden which I couldn't enjoy as much as I would have liked as it rained overnight, we arrived in the dark and had to leave fairly early. The bed was super comfortable, the breakfast was plentiful and varied (especially liked the stewed mango), the host lovely, the car park was under cover, the area was quiet and on a rise so a lovely view over the garden, the town was close with at least five places to eat (I chose "The Rusty Nail" pub and the meal was delicious as well as the historical photos from Canada of logging), the supermarket was great so all in all a very positive experience. Toilets on both levels was good.

New ZealandThe only problem would be the stairs for anyone with mobility issues & although there’s a spa bath next to the upstairs bedroom, the shower is downstairs.
A very pleasant quiet spot, very close to shops restaurants etc. Helen, the host was very friendly & welcoming & we felt very much at home. A lot of thought & care had been put into comfort & extra touches to add to the country home atmosphere.

Helen was an excellent host. I arrived by bike unexpected at 8.15pm. Helen prepared a small meal as I had just cycled 123kms and was worn out. The bed was amazing, everything was great. Her help she gave me to get repairs was invaluable. Breakfast had many choices of fruit and conserves. She even washed my dirty bike gear. I highly recommend Helen's property.

AustraliaI may have wanted the option of staying in a room down stairs as I am pregnant and had bags to carry up and down.
I liked how Helen the host was available to communicate at any time. she saw me into the house and made me a coffee and home baking. She also respects your space.
