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.).

AustraliaWe experienced not only the great history of Norfolk, but visited some very nice restaurants, only thing is you must be very careful coming back to your Cottage at nite, as the roads, and lack of lighting into the property is a little concern. We managed very well, but someone who didn't like the drive in. Would need to be very careful, otherwise not a problem.
It was absolutely fine, everything you needed was there!

AustraliaApartment was very well appointed and very clean. We were met at the airport and the tour around the island from Ariane was most helpful. The hire car was an excellent 4WD - which is included in the booking. Apartment is located in a quiet location, with very nice views from the cliff tops. Great place to relax and use as a base to enjoy the island. Host checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed.

AustraliaGetting there. No fault of the owners. The road and gravel track leading up to the accomodation was full of pot holes and uneven. No good for someone with a bad back.

AustraliaPerhaps send a list of possible breakfast products so there is no waste. Then guests can choose.
Breakfast included white bread, butter, honey, guava jam, eggs, cereal and a selection of teas and coffee pods. Tv went through Foxtel which gave a lot of options and the Wi-Fi worked well for phone calls and internet connection. Big comfortable bed and huge shower with plenty of hot water. The road in is a narrow dirt track with lots of potholes which the X Trail, which was part of the deal, handled no problems and made you feel kind of adventurous.

AustraliaWhilst understanding that Ariane was away, and maybe Brad was under there pump, but the following are general comments. A bottle of wine in the frig. Maybe some flowers on the table (Hibiscus?).A bowl of fruit. A small box of chocolates .None of these are big ticket items but help make a visitor really feel welcome. Overall, it was well-done but a few minor touches can be a big bonus.
Having been in retail business AND early days in tourism (SCUBA school and charter boat on Gold Coast) we tried to "exceed expectations" ... over deliver rather than under-deliver. Breakfast could have done with a second alternative cereal, some fruit, and tomatoes, a packet of biscuits to have with tea or coffee?.. all of which we scouted around and bought.We found out about the "Farmers Market" on the day we left. Secondly, on the mid-week "Clean & fresh towels" perhaps the above items could have been "topped up"... all of this is minimal cost. Perhaps a call the next morning after the first night would sort out any minor problems? We had no Foxtel control and were still uncertain on phone operation.
