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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaThat it said you have to wash the dishes (in the bathroom sink) I would hope they are getting washed elsewhere and they aren’t just relying on customers to wash. The bed was also extremely uncomfortable

AustraliaHot tub wasn't very warm. I was disappointed that the restaurant wasn't open. I get that it's winter and quiet but it would have nice to be informed on booking. I especially booked to treat my friend the seafood platter for her 70th!! I would have looked else where had I know!!
Great locations. Nice rooms. Comfortable beds.

AustraliaCheck out was a bit meh, also we had the speed bump right outside our door so heard every car go across it as it made a noise. Corner shower didn't leave much room to move around, also took about 10mins to get hot water the first night. Bathroom was freezing overnight and morning.
Check in was a breeze. Nice big room. Good car park aswell

AustraliaBesides the rude receptionist staff it was a pleasant stay Reception needs to learn basic customer service. I had done an online check in and wanted to make sure it was all correct. Attended reception and was greeted by a very rude lady who made me feel so uncomfortable. The utter disrespect and attitude that came from her almost made me not want to stay there.

AustraliaThe kitchenette is a bit too small for a 3 bedroom cottage.
The location of the property is awesome. Straight walk to the beach, restaurants and cafes. You don't waste your time travelling and finding some of the best places to walk and eat. The lady at the reception is too kind and helpful. At the checkout she enquired about things that could've improved whereas most other places just say "Hope you had a pleasant stay". She did really care about our comfort and negatives, if any.

New ZealandExpensive for the facilities, but I guess the price likely reflects the location. Our sea view was really a tree view, still nice and you can hear the sea. Kitchen facilities are very limited and BBQ is electric and shared, behind the unit, so think carefully about what you want to cook for tea. Bed was not too comfy.
Location is nice, close to the beach and easy short walk to town

AustraliaOnly thing I didn’t like is there wasn’t a secondary lock for your hotel door, if someone knows your code they can let themselves in. That personally makes me uncomfortable with having small children stay with us. I like when you go to a hotel you can usually double lock your door. Besides that, our stay was nice.
Good location. Clean and the family room was a good size for us, 2 adults and 2 small children. The kids liked the park but we didn’t get to enjoy the pool as we only stayed one night.
