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.).

AustraliaNothing. It was perfect
Loved our short stay at Skippers. My husband and I went to Dundee to enjoy some rest and just relax. Skippers was the perfect choice. Ben was the friendliest host and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great stay. Would highly recommend Skippers to anyone looking for some time out… and for those wanting a fishing adventure I have no doubt a Skippers fishing trip would be the best in Dundee!!

New ZealandWe forgot milk, so a small carton would have been a bonus. Otherwise no faults!
Everything! View, bed, staff, cleanliness, location, offerings. Big space for kids to run. A fantastic little retreat Courtesy phone call prior to arrival. Friendly owner Ben came to say hello. A rare find these day. Wish our stay was much longer. Definitely coming back next trip to Darwin.

AustraliaThe room a little small (double room) but the outside area made up for that and plus you only sleep in the room most the time your outdoors.
the location was fantastic, outdoor area was superb, it had everything you needed. Great view of the sunset. Very relaxing & enjoyed the small pool, entertaining area, peaceful. BBQ and good size kitchen. Close walk to the local pub and had a nice lunch. Definately will let my friends know all about it and I will be back

New ZealandI booked through booking.com and booked for our 1 year old grandson, when we got there they had booked him his own room away from us which was ridiculous 🙄 The lovely man at Skippers sorted it and we put him in our room in portacot. My issue was when I was booking it, it added a extra $170 for him. The money is being reimbursed so that's not the issue, it's the booking system. It's very confusing
Beautiful spot, had a wonderful time, lovely and clean, everything we wanted. Had a delicious meal at the pub

Singaporethe rooms were a bit small and have no closet or hook to hang clothes.
The best part is the nature cruise. We get to see dolphins, crocodiles and eagles. We get to try out fishing and we caught a big catfish. We also caught several mud crabs. The owner cooked the crabs with chilli source that was so delicious. The rooms were very clean and we get to use their kitchen and living room. It was a great 2 days stay.

AustraliaLiked everything
What's there to not love about this place,the hostes are very welcoming and happy to share local knowledge. The view from the verandah is incredible while sitting in the comfortable chairs, you could easily sit there with a book, a wine or games and stare out to the ocean. Skippers is a 300m walk along the waterfront to The Lodge for a drink or meal, if you prefer to eat out. Highly recommend you ask about the boat tours, amazing experience, especially as the sun sets. This place makes you slow down and enjoy all that it is surrounded by.

AustraliaThere was nothing we did not like.
Our stay was way above our expectations. We so loved the view and location. The kitchen was more than adequate and the bbqs were a really nice touch and performed exceptional. We were made to feel welcomed by the staff of Mick and Sue and what lovely people they are. A must place to stay on Dundee beach. Also the local butcher should get a mention as well As and we will return. Regards Brett and Carolyn.
