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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

GermanyReally nothing!
The Classique Bed & Breakfast is really outstanding. It is located in a historical building which gives it a unique ambience. The room we had was pretty big and very nice. The breakfast was fantastic with cereals and a large plate of fresh fruits. But the best is for sure the host couple! Incredibly friendly and helpful, you always feel perfectly welcome!

AustraliaI wish I could have stayed longer!
What a welcoming B&B! I felt like I stepped back in time, living in dreamlike luxury. Iva and Russell (the hosts) were so friendly and accommodating. They made a lovely cup of coffee on arrival which was perfect after the 4 hour drive from Cairns. I stayed in the 'Gold Queen Room', which was air-conditioned and so comfortable. The B&B was only 900 metres walk to Queensland Countrybank Stadium where I was attending the P!nk concert, so it was situated in an extremely convenient location. When I returned from my night out, I enjoyed sitting in the pool room and having a complimentary glass of port. Although the B&B was located on Sturt street, I could not hear any traffic from my room and I had a wonderful night's sleep. In the morning I sat on the lovely back deck and ate a delicious breakfast that Iva and Russell prepared, consisting of fresh coffee, an assortment of tropical fruit, eggs (however I would have like them made - I chose scrambled) toast, and a selection of 3 specialty conserves - Ginger Marmalade, Mango and Rosella. I was honestly sad I had to leave. I can't wait to come back for a longer stay!

AustraliaCommon areas had only fans (no aircon) and hot nights (ie 25 degrees) meant the fans didn't quite cut it. (Although our room had both aircon and fan).
Distinctiveness of the property - era, high ceilings, character. Hosts - extremely service oriented and with local venue recommendations. Russell and Iva are very assiduous!. Room - very large and comfortable. Shower great. A classy, character property in Townsville that makes a change from all the beachfront bungalows on the Qld coast.

AustraliaWe stayed for one night but we would have liked to stay for more, because this place is amazing! Everything is spotless and comfortable, the whole antique house is beautiful. But the thing we enjoyed most was the attention of Iva and Russel. Their hospitality and attention to detail make the staying a unique experience. They even drove us to the train station..

AustraliaThere was nothing to dislike
Everything about the property and owners was excellent. The property itself was very neat, clean and comfortable. The owners themselves were extremely friendly and helpful even driving us to meet our grandson on 2 occasions as we had no transport. The breakfast presentation, setting, quantity, variety and quality was beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a bed and breakfast stay in Townsville
