Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Proprietor doesn't monitor booking.com messages, so would have been charged unnecessarily by the time they checked messages for a change to booking. Shower pressure very poor and bathroom too small. Loved the view from the room. Meal at restaurant enjoyable.

Slight musty smell in room.
Room 15. We unfortunately didn’t stay due to an issue totally unrelated to the hotel but checked in. The owner checked us in and advised us about the water, told us there was bottled water in the room and we were welcome to refill inside the bar area for free or purchase more for $1 from reception. Advised it was best to use air con due to midges. The room was clean and had a water view. The bed appeared comfortable with clean bedding. Bathroom was clean and well stocked.

Like - The accommodation location was good in a quiet area. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant dinner meals we bought were ok. Plenty of bottled water provided. Dislike - The room needed a good clean and bathroom needed updating (cracked washbasin). Room was booked with water view, spoilt by large plant in the middle of the window. Breakfast was overpriced for bacon and eggs for what you received - quality and presentation.

The room was simple but large. Dinner at the restaurant was great. The view from the large window was lovely-but were advised against opening windows due to mosquitos.

Limited seating options if self catering. No table or dresser just two armchairs and coffee table and large empty space in room as if missing furniture. Clean enough but thick dust layer on higher surfaces such as tv.
Proximity to Port Arthur and to Fortescue Bay/Cape Huay. Lovely view across lawns to the water. We liked fact they provided unlimited bottled fresh water as local water supply not pleasant to drink ( allegedly potable water but coloured and unusual smell)
