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 reviewVery responsive host - replaced bed pillows for us with brand new ones. Beautiful garden and view of mountains. Comfortable, well equipped house. Great bathrooms. Very handy location.
It is a personal preference, but we found the beds a bit uncomfortable - I would stay again despite them, however my husband says he couldn't on account of the beds.
Hi Kate, Thanks for your comments. Really helpful! I sleep well in the bed but obv not fir all. I think we’ll upgrade. Regards Tania

Verified reviewThe layout was perfect for the group and exactly as shown online. Loved the big open deck on both sides with a swing. Milo and Bob were a beautiful addition too, kitchen had all the amenities you could need. The food across the road at Au Tree was amazing too! Lots of parking space.
The road was a bit bumpy and when it rained there were big puddles but we worked around it.
Hi Desiree, Thank u for your feedback. we appreciate & will pass onto team. Can’t wait to check out cafe across the road. regards Tania

Nothing. Everything was great.

Verified reviewWe loved this place. The villa is really comfy and has everything you need. The kitchen is really well equipped and the added bonus of a BBQ allowed us to stay in for meals. The villa is spacious and the 4 of us had more than enough space. The setting is awesome, being close to the beach and a local shop but far enough away that you feel the privacy and peace of the countryside. Also the local cats came around and that made our stay even more like home.
If I had to point out a thing, perhaps a pool would have completed the experience,but honestly we were very happy with the facilities
Hi Diane, Thanks so much for your feedback. Really appreciate it! We’d love a pool too! Maybe put up the price… regards Tania

It can get quite warm and there is no air conditioning but the fans work well.
Hi cheyenne, Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated! We'd have to charge more if we paid for air conditioning units install. What was not satisfactory with cleanliness? regards Tania

Verified reviewThe house was EVERYTHING!! Well thought out, the open plan layout was perfect for the heat. It accommodated our needs and definitely exceeded all our expectations. A home away from home. The mountains are amazing to take a moment to gaze at while the clouds moved thru them (we were mesmerised) and the beach was quite literally down the driveway and across the road. We passed thru Go Local turtle exploration to get to the beach, they are a warm and friendly bunch and would often ask how our stay was going if they weren't preparing to take people turtle watching. Also about 1.5km away is Wigmores convenience store opened 24 hours.
Nothing we even loved the roosters
Hi Cyn, Sounds like u loved the house! So do we! Thank u for leaving it so tidy! We really appreciate it & your amazing feedback. Look forward to hearing from you in the future. regards Tania

Verified reviewWe loved absolutely everything about this property! Every morning we would open the blinds to the most magical view! Being able to see the mountains in the distance as the sun rose was just so spectacular it made every day extra special for us. This home has everything you will ever need from towels to beach towels, mosquito coils and appliances. The home also comes with a dvd player and assorted DVDs & some toys for the children to play with which was absolute perfection for us. We had such a wonderful time and made the most amazing memories we will cherish for life. We were so lucky to be able to stay in such a luxurious place. Thank you so much Tania for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home 💕😁

Verified reviewThe house was epic! From the view to the thought that has gone into the setup. We loved every bit and was exceptional to wake up looking at the mountains
We took three swings at finding the drive. The instructions were good but there is a huge sign opposite that would lend itself to a landmark. Had we turned up at night I think it would have been hard to find
Hi Kate, Appreciate your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your time. Regards Tania
