Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaBBQ might have been better (and more sociable) if it was on the upstairs balcony, clothes washing powder box empty, no soap downstairs.
Comfortable, felt "like home", fabulous views.

AustraliaThis is not a complaint, just personal observations so people can plan. The main bed is very firm. Bed in 2nd bedroom a bit softer. There are no cafes in Emu Bay, you need to take everything. Whilst there is a coffee plunger there is no coffee pod machine. We had pods, but needed to go buy ground coffee. A lamp in the main living room would be nice at night as overhead lights bright. There was tissues and hand soap, but no body wash, shampoo etc in bathroom.
This is a lovely location and the view of the bay from the verandah is fantastic. The house and bathrooms are spacious. Kitchen was well equipped and BBQ was great. Some salt, pepper, oil, gladwrap and foil available for use. Washing machine and large clothes rack available. Plenty of local info provided by property manager.

CanadaFor this place to score a 10, it would have been nice to have shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. Also, was not happy about having to wheel the garbage/recycling bins to the front on garbage days. I would have expected the cleaners to do that. They could benefit from a new cleaning service as under the beds and on top of the range hood was dusty.
Beautiful house very close to the beach. Comfortable and spacious with well equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay there again. There were Koalas in the backyard and at night we saw penguins on the beach!!

AustraliaMinor detail- the towels were non absorbent and not fluffy but a quick wash and air dry solved the problem- not sure what the commercial laundry uses to launder but it appeared they were washed with too much fabric softener as this affects absorption and fluid feeling. But a minor issue
Spacious and very well set up for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen was well resourced for cooking Close to Kingscote for groceries but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing

AustraliaCommunication from hosting agents was one way with information about local activities, but no answers to my messages asking for further information about the house. The house was generally clean, but fan, behind beds and main bathroom floor needed work. We had to clean the fan in the main living area before we turned it on. Noise from bathrooms travels through thin walls.
Good view over garage and other houses to beautiful bay. The house itself was very sizable and well equipped with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 up and 1 down) washing machine, bbq, big balcony, washing machine, line for drying and plenty of off street parking. Emu bay is an excellent location, but shops about 15 minutes away.
