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.).

CanadaThe tv was pretty small for how far it was from the couch, but that was nice in the sense it didn’t take over the room. Clean dishes were in the dishwasher but we didn’t realize until our last day. We made do but could have used the mugs!
What a gorgeous property, so beautifully decorated. It had everything we could possibly need and lots of information about the surrounding area. The best part was the bed - so incredibly comfortable, with lovely linens.

United KingdomI am sorry to say this because we loved the place. A minor thing but I think that the bedding in the master bedroom needs up grading. And a thicker topper would definitely lift the sleeping experience. I like at least one other person found the bed a bit hard.
Lovely clean modern house in a quiet location very close to the beach. Very homely with every single thing you could want. Dish washer, washer, even an outdoor bath. Lovely people . Very friendly local people too. Was just what we needed after an hectic drive around NZ. Loved the windows! Opened fully so that you could sleep with the fresh air and the sounds of the birds. An absolute delight! Backs on to a natural forest . There are loads of birds in the bay . Looks just like the picture and is an almost new house.

New ZealandWasn’t a problem for us but the house was 3 story with the bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor so keep that in mind if you struggle with stairs!
Great house which is nicely furnished with everything you need for the duration of your stay, very homely feel! Beds were comfy and the 2 bedrooms were on separate floors with their own bathroom which was handy. The location is awesome and there is so much to do in the area from wineries, restaurants, and beaches with Matakana, Warkworth and Tauwharanui Peninsula a short drive away from the house. Goat Island is a little bit further away but totally worth the trip!

New ZealandThe only criticism was that I wasn’t sent instructions on how to check-in. Robyn was very responsive when I messaged her. The gate we had to push to go through needed to be lifted as well. I don’t think we would have been able to get in but luckily the cleaner was still there and helped us :)

New ZealandWhat an amazing holiday home, a great location close to many beautiful regional parks and vineyards. The house came with many modern amenities (and luxury finishing touches). We found our stay in the house to be very comfortable, warm and spacious. We had an amazing stay, the bath outside after a day out exploring was a great touch. I highly recommend a stay here, enjoy not only the house, but the beautiful surroundings right on the back doorstep. I only wish we could have stayed for longer…
