Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaThe living area is tiny with 2 squishy uncomfortable sofas... an L-shaped sofa would improve this. There's no TV in the living area (and the way it's configured, probably no where to put one. Though there are TVs in each of the 3 bedrooms. The kitchen, though small, is pretty well appointed. Needs some cereal bowls, and there was no salt and pepper. A generous variety of tea, coffee and hot chocolate were supplied The bathroom is huge. It needs a heated towel rack, or two, as our towels weren't drying and there were insufficient rails.
Excellent beds and pillows. Electric blankets were a bonus. Lovely location tucked into the forest. 15 minute walk to Main Road with the cafes. Easy car park. Quiet. Good hot shower.

IrelandWhat would make it even better is an oven/cooker and a washing machine but this is only a minor issue in my opinion. Very nice place.
Such a gem of a spot. Amazing decor, comfy beds and easy access. A very very cosy place. A home away from home. Thank you Elliot.

New ZealandI expected an oven in the kitchen area. Although there was a bench top oven, we had bought a whole chicken and vegetables for a roast dinner. We ended up eating out and having our roast the following day.
It was warm, welcoming, and close to town. The bedrooms are luxurious, and the bathroom is huge. I have disabled friends, and it is great to see accommodation that I can recommend to them in places that they have yet to visit.

SingaporeI hope the host can install some hooks or hangars for us to put our jackets or clothes up in the room. It's very inconvenient. Just be careful about keeping the doors to the patio open as there are insects that might come in.
The property is surrounded by a forest. Generally comfy beds with heater pads on the mattresses with a big fully equipped kitchen. Huge bathroom. The host responded to calls quite promptly and answers our queries. Other than a few minor issues, it's a good 2 nights stay.

United StatesThe beds were uncomfortable. There is a heating blanket that has the switch for it under the sheets but very near the body. It was troubling sitting on something quite hard and immovable on the bed. As I rolled onto the device, it woke me up during the night.
The key code worked well and we had no trouble getting into the place.
