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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

AustraliaThe location did not suit us, being in a labyrinth within a housing development area with no facilities within walking distance. There is no privacy from the footpath (or a neighbour property) unless the blinds are pulled down or across, then the windows cannot be left open for fresh air as the blinds will bang against the frame. There is no rain shelter at the entrance, and no mat inside the entrance to protect the carpet from wet shoes before they are removed, and we did have a down pour once when returning to the unit. Parking was either in the owner's (?) driveway squeezed in next to their cars, or on the opposite verge as a number of locals were doing, which was easier. The dishwasher was still running when we arrived - our job to empty it and put the contents away apparently.
The room was clean and communication was good. Facilities were good, though we did not use most of them. The area was quiet despite the airport not far away. The usual key lock-box beside the door.

AustraliaThe bed is double and definitely small for a couple so the space would be better with a queen bed.
Lovely place that’s tucked away. Very clean and the kitchen is equipped with everything you would need. Really good space and perfect for a couple on holidays!

AustraliaThe wifi signal requires you to stay in the kitchen for it to work properly. Wifi signal from anywhere else was too weak to be used.
Loved the quiet location and was quite close to everything which made travelling easy. Hosts were very flexible and allowed early check in and late checkout which was much appreciated.

AustraliaThere were a few things missing from the kitchen, such as forks, big plates and bowls. The wifi would cut out constantly and the entertainment (TV) required wifi.
It was a homely self-contained granny flat with all the amenities needs: clothes washer, fridge etc... There was plently of room and the hosts were friendly and very responsive. It worked well for us because we had a car, but if you don't have a car, I wouldn't recommend it.

Cayman IslandsThe bus stop is a 12 min walk up the hill and unfortunately (due to a reduced bus timetable) the bus only ran once an hour. Once you are on the bus you can never get enough of those magnificent views into town so bus journey was very enjoyable but if you have a car then you won’t depend or the bus. Room was cold but the bed had electric blankets on both sides. Heater would need upgrading to face the very cold winter days as it does not adequately heat up the room. But these were small issues, I would definitely stay there again and highly highly recommend this property to anyone.
I stayed here the whole month of July 2022 and it cannot say how much I loved it. Nelson was so nice and every time I needed something he was just a click or a phone call away. Super nice and friendly. Very quiet property, I was never disturbed and I felt that I had all the privacy I needed. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and had a big fridge had ample space for my grocery shopping. Great to have the dishwasher and washing machine.

AustraliaThe location is difficult to get out of at busy times. It’s quite a way out of town. It was raining during our stay, there isn’t any shelter when you’re trying to open the door and you get wet. We had to park across the road, which was not fun unpacking in the rain and carrying cases across these the road. A few basics were missing, like a coffee plunger, and milk, but the host was quick to provide these things. When you sit on the toilet you hit your knees on the hand basin. The bathroom is very small.
The property was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed.

United KingdomThe view. Next door there’s any new building going up so it obscured any view. Just one thing missing - no milk.
Although the photos were a little confusing on the website - the room (studio at the front of the property) was smaller than we expected but it suited us just fine. It had everything we needed and spotlessly clean.
