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 StatesI would have appreciated if the kitchen was open extended hours for snacks. It's a car free Island so there are no stores and only one other restaurant. Everything has to be brought over on the ferry so pack carefully. They do pick up you up on a golf cart so don't worry about the walk.
This is a beautiful outdoor glamping retreat overlooking NY Harbor, The Statue of Liberty and The NYC skyline. We went in late October and it was so cozy, comfy and relaxing. You can relax at the retreat or walk around Governors Island, take in the sights and engage in the various activities. The bar is open all day but the restaurant is only open for breakfast, lunch and dinner . There are coolers or refrigerators in your lodgings...so pack your own snacks and beverages. Sit on your deck, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the harbor...unforgettable!

United States$20 for a beer? What's up with that? Cocktails and wine more reasonably priced, not sure what the deal is on beer pricing, but I went to get one and had to abort, being congenitally incapable of dropping $20 for a brew. It was quite loud in the morning due to helicopters -- not their fault and they warn you about it and supply earplugs, but FYI.
Staying here was big fun. A quick ferry ride and you feel like you've really escaped NYC, and the campground was great -- tents/beds are comfortable, staff is helpful, loved the campfires and hammocks. My daughter and I loved it and would totally do it again.

United StatesThe noise level at night was unbearable. We did not sleep. There are party cruise boats that dock right in front of the property until 4am and play music so loudly that can be heard for miles. Some disclosure about this given the price for a one night stay would have been appreciated.
Our tent was wonderfully appointed and the property grounds and views were amazing.

United StatesI should have planned to arrive earlier and leave my bag to explore the island. This was no fault of The Collective, just poor planning on my part.
Our stay at the Collective on Governors Island was one of the most unique, peaceful, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had in New York City. The retreat is absolutely bucolic. The accommodations and views are spectacular, and the service is impeccable.

United StatesWe had a very disappointed stay. We were celebrating a very special date and booked the most expensive and comfortable unit in the hotel. When we got there, the staff showed us around and “looked like” everything was working in the cabine. We went out for dinner and when came back the unit was freezing we tried to adjust the heater and noticed it was not working at all. Called the staff and took a while to someone come and try to fix the problem. There was no one who knew how to fix a heater. They suggested to bring 2 portable heaters, and after some time we noticed the room was still freezing and the portable heaters were not working. It was almost midnight and we still couldn’t enjoy our time, it was very stressful and we had to move to another unit much inferior than the one we booked. The new unit we moved to was not very clean and in the morning, the coffee machine was not working. If they want to charge over $1.2k for a night, they need to guarantee everything is working well and also have a quick backup plan for this kind of situation. We did a formal complaint in the following day and got partial reimbursement. The manager who helped us was very nice, but again the whole experience was disappointed. And our special celebration was not what we were expecting.
The view of Manhattan is beautiful and it is easy to access

United StatesWhen we arrived it was 105 deg. Ice and cold water in the Yeti cooler would have been very helpful. Working with the look for the place would help. Use plants from the dessert. The place looked uncared for. Trees not trimmed, weeds and parched earth and rocks with no real paths. Our tent had an opening in the top and so when it rained it came in while we were sleeping. No covering over the porch area, so the sun was beating down on us.
Breakfast was good, but the french press had the wrong size insert so when you poured your coffee you got lots of grounds. Since we have a french press at home, we knew how it should work.
