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.).

United KingdomCommunication was not good/confusing. The tours/transfers pricing was particularly unclear and I ended up paying more than I expected to because staff and the guide were breaking it down differently eg it’s x price for the journey but x price for entry, and then other add-ons I didn’t know about :/ would be really helpful to be clearer About this. The room also wasn’t in a good state - sheets did not appear clean and dead insects around the floors etc
Wonderful setting on a beautiful beach. Not far from airport and most tours/trips are Reasonably accessible. The staff I met, Becky & her cousin, were kind and helpful

New ZealandThe sea was a bit difficult to get into at lower tide due to the coral but Glen directed us to deeper spot which was better. Dinner could have been more varied but was still good.
Becky and Glen were absolutely lovely, so helpful when we had an issue as soon as we arrived and great throughout the stay! The bungalows were right by the beach, spacious and had private bathrooms which was a luxury too! Definitely good value for money and really enjoyed! Breakfast was also included, simple but tasty and filling.

AustriaIt’s a little bit pricey for a basic accomodation. But still a very good experience
The location is very beautiful! Just sitting behind a beautiful beach where you will find no other tourists! Just other friendly locals! 😊 Food was fairly cheap and very good. The owners are super nice and will help you out as best as they can!

TaiwanWe believe that we have asked for the airport pickup arrangement. However, when we arrived there is nobody picking us up. There are other guests arrived on the same flight, that is, both of us expected the pickup but in vain. We hired taxi from the airport by ourselves. When we arrived the bungalow, it takes like 30 minutes before we can have our room. That was not a pleasant first impression for an accommodation.
The people are friendly. Food from the kitchen quite delicious but only limited choice. The beach is at the front. The location is remote but one can still go to the town by bus or taxi. The cats are cute.

New CaledoniaNothing much I did not like. It would have been great to have more cold beers in the fridge, I missed eggs at breakfast and to get to the volcano is quite a drive. Though I enjoyed the drive there as I was able to see more of the island.
The staff were amazingly responsive to queries I had before arrival and continued to be super friendly during the stay. They organised travel logistics for activities and are well informed. Alofa is right at the beach and close to town!
