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.).

New ZealandThe summer humidity brought a lot of insects out in the evening… but we were looked after well and owners brought over some repellent to combat the bugs.
Beautiful landscape with breathtaking views. Awesome farm outlook with variety of animals close by to watch and we even got to say hello to the friendly pony. Facilities were great and fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances one needs to cook a meal.

United KingdomThe cottage was amazing, with beautifully handmade NZ hardwood furniture. We enjoyed every minute especially sitting on the front deck enjoying the sunshine, gazing at the amazing scenery. The next field had a pony, a calf (who thinks the pony is his Mum) and a ram called Rambo! The interaction of these three gave us hours of pleasure. If you want to feel relaxed in beautiful surrounding you must stay here

New ZealandEverything was amazing. The thing that would be useful is to have an information leaflet about the property as we never saw the owners. Like if you put the dishwasher on before you leave, what do you do with rubbish bags, dirty towels. the wifi password (I had to rummage through draws to find it) etc. I’m sure the owners would have been happy for me to contact them but I didn’t want to bother them with lots of little things.
Beautiful scenery. Lovely location as it’s on the back of a wee farm type thing so remote and peaceful but Roxburgh only about 5 minutes drive. Clean, comfortable, tidy furnishings and loved the outdoor table. Also had a friendly horse in the paddock opposite and close to the cottage that would come over for a pat.

New Zealandlimited consumables provided on the kitchen (chopping board, glad wrap, dish wash liquid, cooking oil). Water was also an off colour, still fine to drink but would consider taking bottled water next trip.
Great spot with amazing views, outdoor dining area was great. The owners were super helpful when we'd forgotten a gas bottle for the BBQ, lending us one to use.

The cottage was fabulous, roomy, well equipped and maintained with a great deck for outdoor enjoyment. Lovely yard for playing with our great grandchildren as well. Location was perfect, quiet country stay and yet so close to town. Hosts were exceptional, anticipating our needs without us asking - actually going above and beyond! We enjoyed the visits from Fred and Bella as well - the farm's dogs.

New ZealandWhilst the bedrooms were warm, the open plan kitchen/lounge only had a small heater and did not have any window coverings. I understand that a heat pump is to installed soon. It would be good to have some more hanging / storage space for luggage, towels, outdoor jackets.
