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 ZealandThis was the perfect spot for us after travelling from the Christchurch and coming off the ferry as it was only an hours drive and we were very tired. It was quiet and peaceful, had everything we needed including breakfast, outlook was beautiful and most of all the bed was super comfortable and the shower had an amazing head.

New ZealandThe eggs provided were lovely and fresh and they poached so well. I arrived in the dark so it wasn't until the morning I saw the lovely rural setting the cabin was in. I sat outside with a cuppa and watched the tuis chasing each other and bathing as a group in one of the bird baths. Get your cameras ready BEFORE you go outside so you're ready to catch the action. Shona was lovely, she came to say hi in the morning (as I'd arrived so late - and again, thanks so much for accommodating my very late booking Shona). Through-out our chat I could tell we had things in common and I would have loved to be staying another night so I could force her to sit with me for a wine and a decent natter in that glorious setting.

New ZealandAt first we wondered how breakfast worked but we eventually found everything we needed was already provided in the kitchen of the cottage. So my husband whipped up beaky for us :)
It’s really cute and cosy. The owner was lovely and friendly and promptly responded to our messages. The cottage was clean and tidy. The bed was comfy and shower had good water pressure. Breakfast was included which we had outside on the nice balcony.

New ZealandLeaving, we could have done with another night.
It was my second time at this beautiful place. It was a Mothers Day treat for Mum and I. It's a must you stay. The hosts are accommodating and make you feel welcome. The place is peaceful, tranquil and breathtaking. The bed is comfortable and cozy with winter sheet to curl up in.. It has everything you need in the well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Only a short drive to the Town Center. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality!
