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...).

United States of AmericaI think as long as it says this is a guest house on Fiona's property there will be no confusion. We felt weird about letting ourselves into a residential backyard when no one was home, but this might be a cultural thing since we are Americans.
Fiona was amazing and it was marvelous to meet her. She took care of all of our needs. The room was clean and just the right space for us. We only stayed two nights and it was quiet and lovely.

AustraliaA little squishy with our luggage but I can’t fault anything else!
This was one of the loveliest bnb’s we stayed at on our trip to the north Island. We enjoyed our home made stewed rhubarb with some yoghurt and muesli while enjoying it on the deck outside the room. It was a lovely bed and comfy cozy through the night! The owner was accomodating for us and had a blind fixed just after we arrived which we weren’t too fussed about but nice to be taken care of. Thank you so much for our stay, the view of the garden was nice to wake up to and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! ☺️

The cabin is located at the backyard with a great view, its equipped with hammock and garden set which makes relaxing perfect. Inside the cabin is very clean and well furnished. It is very comfortable and has everything we need. The host Fiona has an excellent rapport and made us feel welcomed.

New ZealandFor my purposes there wasn't anything to dislike. However two people that didnt go out much would have been cramped. For the money the tv needed to have netflix etc and be a little bigger and the fridge leaked over the floor, but it might have been defrosting. I noticed it was delaminating the kitchen bench supports. It didnt worry me, Fiona was a great hostess, really helpful and pleasant and there was nothing more I could have wished for.
The location and setting was perfect. I travelled alone and worked during the day and really the two most important things for me were a comfy bed and a decent shower. Both of these were first class
