How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewlocation and fire pit, was nice to relax in the tub. lots to do in the area but also nice to stay in.
tv was small, need to download the apps and the Chromecast keep dropping out, this was annoying,
So glad you enjoyed your stay, especially the location (which we cannot change very easily 😉) and the wood fire. Apologies for the TV. (We're in the process of upgrading them) and the NBN network is something that occasionally drops away in performance. If you'd let us know we could have switched your TV to one of our backup networks, StarLink or 4g. We have an Optus tower on our property boundary.

Thank you, Steven, for your kind words and for highlighting two of the things we’re most proud of — the location and the design of The Bower. We’re so pleased to hear that you appreciated the unique setting, nestled in the natural beauty of the South Coast, and the thoughtful design that aims to immerse our guests in that environment while providing the comforts of luxury and privacy. Creating a space that feels both restorative and inspiring is at the heart of what we do, and it’s wonderful to know that resonated with you.

Verified reviewThe Bower at Broulee has it all, bush, beach, bath, BBQ, fire....the list is long! It absolutely ticked all our boxes. From the moment I made our booking the communication from the hosts Sue & Mark was outstanding. They have really tried, and succeeded in taking care of everything and ensuring your stay can be well planned ahead of time so you can just concentrate on enjoying the surrounds once you arrive. The beaches are only a few minutes down the road and the most beautiful I've seen. However there's not too many reasons to leave the comfort of the cabins. The local Foodworks is really well stocked and you have everything you need to cook at home if you don't want to leave. Highly recommend organising an inhouse massage too. Carla was amazing, I wish she wasn't so far away. Will definitely return! Oh and internet was perfect, which is another thing on my priority list!
Thank you so much, Jodie, for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that The Bower ticked all your boxes and that you appreciated the balance of bush, beach, and creature comforts. We’re especially glad our communication helped make your stay smooth and stress-free, and that you enjoyed the local touches — including the massage with Carla! We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing escape whenever you’re ready. Warm regards, Mark & Sue

Verified reviewThe Bower is immersed in the beautiful Sth Coast bushland. The kitchen and lounge overlook a deck and a bird feeding platform which is constantly visited by fabulous parrots. As well there are lots of birds in the surrounding bush, you are surrounded by birdsong! The beach and Great Dividing Range behind including Mount Dromedary are astounding. A wood burning stove adds charm and cheer.
It was all fabulous- - no complaints
Thank you, Diana, for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the peaceful bushland setting and the company of our feathered locals — the birdlife truly is one of the joys of staying at The Bower. It’s lovely to know you appreciated the views, the warmth of the wood fire, and the natural beauty of both the coast and the mountains. We're thrilled everything was fabulous for you, and we hope to welcome you back for another tranquil escape soon. Warm regards, Mark & Sue
