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.).

Maria is the best host you could possibly have. She was friendly, paid attention to every detail and made us feel so welcome. The room was beautiful, spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was varied and delicious. It was a little out of town but all the good things completely outweighed that. It had everything we could want from a B&B

New ZealandWe loved everything
This place is immaculate! Quite, super clean, we loved the luxurious feel of linen, high end interior, delicious breakfast and the super nice hospitality of the owners. Hands down the best place we stayed in a decade in NZ! (we travel often on a budget) It is situated a bit out of the town centre, but that said, it's only a 5m drive and the beach is only a 5-10m walk via a beautiful natural reserve and estuary. We will be back!

Maria was a wonderfully welcoming host. The photos don’t do justice to the room which was much better than I was expecting. Bed was super comfortable and the room was quiet so we got a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was outstanding - so much choice and absolutely delicious but also beautifully presented on vintage china. It was just a wonderful stay and deservedly described as luxury.

The location and property are lovely. Maria is a wonderful host … joyful, helpful and very friendly. Upon our welcome to our room it was supplied with bottled water and chocolates. There’s a lovely shared compact kitchen area with facilities to use if needed. The beds were so comfortable and I loved the ironed linen. The included breakfast is so full of great variety using her lovely China crockery. I wish I could have fitted everything on offer in my stomach. We were left wanting for nothing.
