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.).

AustraliaSuch a lovely welcome from Laura into a lovely room. Cosy, comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean in a quiet setting. The heated bathroom floor was fabulous when coming in from the cold and getting up early in the morning. The breakfast was amazing, a great variety and freshly cooked and delivered to our room with a cheery good morning from Derek. A short and easy walk into town was handy for dinner. I just wish we had stayed for more than 2 nights. Oh and the splashback in Bellbird cabin is spectacular!

United KingdomOnly one minor point that we had was bit of noise from adjoining rooms in the morning. The owners had only had the rooms since 2023 and maybe could improve this in the future with better sound proofing BUT don’t let this spoil the review as it was excellent value for money compared to 4 others we had on our trip around NZ and as listed above service was exceptional.
The personal touch is amazing as this let is next to the owners home. It’s a set of three rooms the can be hired and is located within a nice housing estate. The walk to town is 5-10 minutes. There is a hot tub that can be used as well, although we didnt have time to use it. Breakfast was as good as any 5* hotel we had on the trip we were on. A range of options were able to be selected from which was an amazing touch and attention to detail. The room was homely and very comfy and the shower was excellent. We definitely would use this again if in the area.

The best water pressure I have ever experienced, there is no feeling like coming home from a cold day out and having a shower here! Amazing brekky served as early or late as you like it, straight to your room. Hosts are very hospitable and the room was stocked with tea+coffee+some extra treats.

AustraliaThe suburban location in what is a lake town. However, once inside your studio it's not really an issue. Also, the short walk in and out of the town centre is just what is needed after dinner.
Charming owners; toasty warm bathroom; good quality extras (cookies, chocolate).
