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 reviewAbsolutely gorgeous little cottage! We got eloped at the property and it was the most beautiful day that had enough room for the kids to play and for the adults to relax. Very private location with beautiful greenery surrounding the property. It feels like you're in a rainforest, but only 5 minutes drive from the beach! The hosts were easily contactable, and only too happy to help. I'm so glad that we chose Hughes Hideaway for our special weekend. We will absolutely be returning.
That we didn't stay longer!

Verified reviewThis place is outstanding! Hidden amongst an old rain forest garden which even has a bridge bringing you into the one acre property. Attention to detail is second to none with fairy lights, amenities and many extra features such as firepit, coffee machine, comfy furniture, flowers, candles and a bar on the verandah with a BBQ. The setting is very private and intimate so it's perfect for a romantic getaway. We had our second anniversary here and could not fault anything about the property, location or staff. If you like Cottage style houses and gardens then this place is perfect.
Nothing! Couldn't fault it!
Wow!! Thanks for such a great review. We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, welcoming property for our guests. Reviews like yours make all the extra effort and touches worth it. Thanks.

Verified reviewThis was genuinely one of the easiest, cleanest and in our opinion best places we have stayed. Previously have stayed in plenty of 4 and 5 star hotels and this place takes the cake! The set up was well thought out and all the small things were supplied that aren’t normally. The owners added some Christmas decorations and a personal note which made us feel welcome. We had the ability to relax, unwind and with the size of the yards it was easy to forget we were actually in a town! Will definitely be back in the future!
Nothing

Verified reviewThere was nothing not to like about the property. Communication was great the property was spotless plus the thoughtfulness of the owners to leave complimentary items to sustain their guests was appreciated. I would return without any hesitation. Loved the whole experience at Hughes Hideaway.
