Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SingaporeThe house will be perfect if the room has some hangers on the wall.
The host is very responsive. I found out i have left my coat in the house after I lock the door before I left. He replied my call immediately and got the cleaner to help open the door for me within 10 mins. This happens 7am in the morning, I'm very thankfully to John and the cleaner response to me so soon.

New ZealandPillows on all beds too big and uncomfortable. The grounds need a good tidy up and deck cleaned. A few basic board games e.g scrabble and some playing cards would have been good to have.
Very clean and tidy. Owner turned on lights and heating so house was warm and welcoming. Close to centre City

AustraliaThe boiling hot water, I received a burn that resulted in a severe blister to my right thumb after I turned on the hot water in the kitchen, when I complained I was told that the system was set to government standards. That was definitely not the case. I googled NZ Hot Water regulations which stated that hot water should "come out of the tap at 55deg C". That temperature does not burn resulting in blisters. I was happy that I didn't have children staying with me as that could have been disastrous.

AustraliaDouble beds very soft for some. Limited amount of tumblers & drink ware for 4 adults. Initial supply of hand soap & sanitiser in bathroom was minimal until we were able to replenish & provide in our own grocery shopping.
Clarence Cottage was an ideal & quiet location for our 7 day visit to Christchurch. The 3 bedroom cottage accommodated our group of 4 adults comfortably at a reasonable cost. Off street parking a bonus and within a short 10 min drive of PaknSave supermarket & mall for all supplies. Several small eating places & convenience store 350m walk to Lincoln Rd. Uber ride average $10 to City Centre was ideal for seeing City sights & visiting restaurants without the hassle of finding city parking. Wi-Fi connection, heating & hot water supply was excellent.... and the provision of a Coffee plunger was very well utilised thank you!
