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.).

New ZealandThere were a few ants around nothing major, bug spray got rid of it. Still a wonderful place to stay. And I will definitely return.
Private like a little oasis. Staff and Brent (owner) friendly and welcoming. Pool good depth and quite a few things to keep you busy on a rainy day, dvds, board games, books etc. Very relaxing and calming place. Clean and spacious. (Wrote another review on TripAdvisor with pictures)

New ZealandBrent & Eve were the perfect hosts. Their communication is quick. We made an error in our booking and arrived a day early. This did not deter them in any way - they welcomed us to come straight to the property and met us on arrival with the key to our apartment

New ZealandTV with HDMI or USB would have been a plus🤩 we didn’t watch much TV and the range of DVDs supplied was awesome
100% recommendation for White House apartments. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Easy to find location, just a short walk to the beach so private away from tourists. Neighbours were friendly and helpful with local knowledge. The coconut grove was a highlight for Mr 12 and the pool was awesome at nigh for Miss 12 and Miss 20. The screens on windows were helpful at nighttime safe and secure inside with the island breeze and sounds coming in. Once windows closed it blocked all outside noise. The wild life here was friendly too. Timmy the house dog, chickens and roosters. The beds were comfy and the shower and kitchen facilities great. We had an awesome time 🌴✨💕

New ZealandNothing.
It was spacious and homely with everything exactly as described and as we expected. The hosts Brent and Eve couldn’t have been more helpful, offering help and advice when needed. The starter kit of bread, milk and other bits was most appreciated, and the guide service to the beach and back from Timmy made us smile all the time. The beach at the end of the street has probably the best snorkelling on the island (shhhhh secret). The gear is there ready to go, fins, masks, shoes, two kayaks, life jackets, a huge beach mat and even two trollies to shift it all The pool was also a delight, clean and great fun when the 200m walk to the sea was JUST too much, and finishing off the day with a bbq all ready to go kept the holiday spirit alive.
