Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaI can't find fault at all with this property from our stay there.
I had misplaced the code for the lock box, so I messaged the owner and they came straight back with the code fortunately! There was great communication and the little homely touches were much appreciated.

Australia1. The lounge smells. The fabric/cover needs a good wash. 2. Shower curtain is not long enough so the water gets everywhere making the floor slippery.
The room is tidy and has all the facilities we need. Netflix is available which is awesome. Owner was very kind to provide all the info that we need to know before arrival.

United KingdomVery dusty, daughter had to dust round bedside tables, the bedside lights are full of dust, furniture was dusty and we cleaned outside tables and chairs. Complimentary coffee was solid in the jar. Fridge wasn't very clean. Hot water ran out every night on the fourth shower. He did say he was looking into the water situation. Need to sort out the cleaner as the toilet area hadn't been cleaned probably since last season. Beds were very hard even the kids complained they were hard 5 & 8
Quite near to the main town. Big apartment and the spa was a bonus. A lot of electrical appliances to use and it was great that there was washing liquid/washing detergent/shower products etc. The owner was very good in helping me out when hot water ran out.

AustraliaThe rubber seal at the bottom of the shower door caused an issue with water from the shower getting out. Once i pushed it back in place then it was fine.
i had the wrong code to open the lock box. Contacted the owner & was given the right code & it opened immediately.

AustraliaWith all the rain that’s been, and puddles on the saturated land, there were extraordinary numbers of mozzies that just didn’t let up. With it being a natural phenomena, we managed quite ok - it was just frustrating to begin with.
The property was so clean and tidy, and so many little extra homely touches that really made the (short number of) hours we spent in the unit exceptional.
