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.).

United StatesHard to say… maybe updated showerheads? I’d have to get THAT picky. I will say if you aren’t super active or have limited mobility, there is not as much to take advantage of in the park (at least during the sweltering summer heat- everything was a good 2 miles + away) but only a few things were not accessible by car. But with the views and the fire pit, I’d be perfectly happy staying put at the cottage anyway.
We loved it all! The cottage was beautiful, the kitchen had just about everything we needed, and the views were stunning. The staff was so helpful and friendly- they even went out of their way to make sure we got fresh linens and any extra housekeeping we needed without disturbing our pet when we were out to breakfast. Which is another thing we loved- Woodside breakfast was included and we took advantage of it daily. It was delicious and the staff was wonderful. They even have lovely seating outside if you have a dog with you, and brought our guy a bowl of water when he came with us. Sunrise, sunset and fireworks were all amazing to watch over the lake. The beach was a quick drive (or bike ride if you don’t have a lot to haul) away, but even on a busy holiday week we had no problem finding parking at the pavilion.

United StatesMy room in the cottage had a very loud sound coming from it. I don't know if it was the AC unit, or what, but it was loud.
I loved the decor in the cabin. I loved the bike trails and bike access. I loved the porches.

United StatesI wish the laundry built in the cottage and that will make it completely perfect !!!
The cottage is so nice, the patio is the best view. I love the back yard with the fire pitch and table outside. Beside, the trail and the pier are the places can’t miss for the trip.

United StatesOne of the employees at the restaurant had very poor customer service skills.
I was told Breakfast was included but we ended up having to pay portions on the meal. We were told we could get it to go but we had 5 guest registered and they would only fix 2 to go boxes so 3 of the guest didn't get their meal. The young girl with glasses when she came to work those last days of our trip at Woodside restaurant had very poor customer relations and made us pay portions on our meals and didn't even supply all our guest with meals. I was very disappointed in that. This was our 6th stay there and I'm not sure I'll return after her rudeness. I love being there bit that left a bad taste after that and paying almost $4,000 for the 6 days.
