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 KingdomNo way to avoid mentioning it sadly, in room 5 the Aircon is very noisy all night. It's not just a hum, it's really noisy.
A very nice place to stay with a friendly, helpful host. It's set in an attractive area and the building itself is pretty. Beds were comfortable and room was as warm or cool as we needed. Easy parking. Facilities were excellent, breakfast was good, some very nice touches such as sodas and snacks to buy as you need - at a price that means it's being done for the guest's comfort, not to make more money.

United StatesThe pictures do NOT do it justice. We were able to check in early once we contacted owner. She was very sweet. There was tranquil music playing softly through whole house. My husband and I booked the master with the jacuzzi and it was beyond relaxing. I did read some comment about someone complaining about the TV volume needing to stay under 15....the volume was at 8 in our room and plenty loud. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!! We will be going back.

United StatesWhat didn’t you like? The only thing and I mean only thing we didn’t like was the room did not have glasses to drink out of or bottled water to drink but in the scheme of things that’s a very small detail.
The host and hostess were friendly and very welcoming.

United StatesWhat I didn't like about Whispering Oaks? My stay was too short.
Looking for somewhere to stay in the Newark and surrounding area? Look no further. This place is the Bomb! Ultra clean, extremely friendly, and Very secure. I could leave my car unlocked if I wanted to! I stayed Two nights and it was an absolute delight staying here. 24 hour "Filtered spring water" available, homemade croissants on the weekends along with fresh other breakfast items. The owners check regularly for anything the Travelers staying there might need. The bed was the most comfortable.

United StatesWe happened upon Whispering Oak after our original reservation somewhere else was abruptly canceled. I couldn't believe the deal so we drove there to be sure. The property was absolutely stunning and Karin and her husband were the ultimate hosts. The ambience was peaceful and relaxing, the Presidential suite was spacious, warm, and cozy, and the common area was spacious and well- furnished with just about everything you could think of and more. I've never done a house share before, but I will definitely return.
