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.).

GermanyThe house lies 2 km off Helston, a car or bikes are required.
The apartment consists of the main rooms of the owners in the ground floor: Big living room, big kitchen, bed room, bath room and corridor. (The owners live in the attic and attached rooms). Extremely friendly and caring hosts, filling the fridge with eggs, milk and a homemade cake. The hosts have a park (much more than a garden) with chicken, ducks and even three ostrich birds. The garden is a paradise for strolling and enjoying the sun. Surely an appartment we will remember and recommend.

New ZealandThis is a wonderful place to stay for a few days. We had a great time, which enabled us to explore the coastal path in the north and the south. Melanie is a very friendly host, very helpful, nothing was too much. The welcome home-made cake and free-range eggs were a treat. 10 stars, the best booking.com ever.

The welcome. Having a cold beer sitting and chatting in front of the pond after the tour of the gardens. Having a wander around the gardens the following evening watching all the wild life. You can visit stunning local beauty spots but do take time to be still and reflect on your days well spent in front of the as the sun gently sinks behind the horizon in these lovely gardens.

Millbrook is in lovely peaceful setting and we received a very warm welcome from Melanie and Bill. The bungalow was cosy, clean, comfortable and well equipped, a home from home, set in three and a half acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. We enjoyed meeting the two cats, hens, geese, rabbits and rheas. The freshly laid free range eggs and huge sponge cake were delicious. Thanks Melanie. (The gym was useful for working off the calories!) It's a good base for exploring the Lizard, St Michael's Mount, Helford and its gardens We can also recommend the river cruise from Budock Vean. We'll definitely be back.

The property was clean, comfortable and a real home from home set in beautiful countryside. We were made to feel so welcome by our hosts with Cornish tea, coffee and an amazing homemade Victoria sandwich. Also freshly laid eggs. We were taken on a tour of the lovely garden complete with rheas, ducks and hens whilst buzzards soared above. Just perfect.
