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.).

AustraliaWe did not see any staff at all until we saw a cleaner arrive as we were leaving. Smoking was allowed on the verandah which inevitably led to the smell of smoke getting into the rooms. I thought that the request to clean up after breakfast and leave things as we found them was rather mean and probably not in accordance with COVID rules.
Breakfast supplies were good.

AustraliaAs we have a small dog, taking her out was on leash only because of being so close to the main road. If the main grass area was gated off it would be perfect, but that is my only negative and not really a negative at all.
2nd time staying and did not disappoint. Great location, remote and peaceful, and close to Gisborne town central. The breakfast area was well stocked and spotless

AustraliaDogs barking in the carpark in the middle of the night and right outside our door woke us up. Comments from the owner about previous guests were awkward.
The room has a good bed and shower, that's the main things we're looking for. It was clean and had tea coffee etc.

AustraliaWe paid $250 per night for the room on the basis that the bookings.com Website said that this was the last available room. This was misleading as there were many rooms available of similar size and similar fitout. We feel the advertisement for the room was misleading. Our stay represented extremely poor value to the extent that we would say we were ‘price gouged’. We are seasoned international travellers and believe our expectations are not out of the ordinary. Carpet was dirty, marked and poorly maintained and surfaces dusty and had not been cleaned recently. Breakfast consisted of milk cereals and bread and there was no fruit. Breakfast was self-serve in an unheated room on a 0 Centigrade morning.
The bathroom had been renovated so it was good, the furnishings, bedding and heating were generally good and the lighting excellent.
