How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewQuiet secluded property. The cabin is beautiful! A nature lover’s dream. The hosts Robert and Roberta were very cordial as they allowed us to check in early and best of all bring our four legged fur babies!
We didn’t see any wildlife. Of course this is no fault of property or hosts. But we were a little bummed.

Verified reviewEverything! Robert and Roberta were absolutely amazing hosts!! The view was spectacular, wildlife was peaceful, having a fireplace inside and out, and the hot tub was the best thing after a long day of hiking with 5 kids!
The ONLY thing we didn't like, which isn't even a bad thing, was there was no tvs in the rooms. That's our bad habit, but it was also nice not to have the distraction before bed :)

Verified reviewMy husband and I spent a wonderfully chill and relaxing weekend at the Crows Nest. We thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and got to watch squirrels play and deer families pass through from the back deck each morning. It was the perfect place to unwind and forget about the world.
Thank you so much for staying! We hope you folks had a wonderful time. Please come back any time! Thanks, Robert & Roberta

Verified reviewThe home is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed playing pool and watching wildlife! The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating!
We were extremely disappointed that booking.com failed to notify the host, therefore delaying our entry to the property by at least an hour or more. Booking.com also gave us the wrong entry code for the house which required us to drive all the way back to the main gate to get ahold of the host. Doesn't seem like a long drive, but when your driving in the dark and are unsure where your going (BTW GPS is extremely unreliable) it makes the drive long and stressful.
So sorry for the issue with Booking.com I contacted them and they corrected the issue. We hope everything else was to your liking! Thanks! Robert & Roberta

Verified reviewAbsolutely stunning cabin. My dream home!! Very comfortable. Great hot tub, fire pit, pool table, and the kitchen was totally stocked. The host was very receptive and helpful. Totally recommend this absolutely beautiful slice of heaven!!
The roads leading to it were quite narrow and curvy. Would be hard to navigate at night. Not as much to do in the fall as in the summer. We will be back in summer!
Thanks so much for staying Jill! We truly enjoy having guests like you who are respectful of the house. Things do slow down a bit after Labor day but do come back any time!!!
