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...).

The location is quiet, remote and dramatic. Very cool. The decor and historic touches were really lovely. The weather had been stormy all day, so it was a treat to have the log fire and hot tub in the evening. We had forgotten that breakfast was supplied, so we brought our own - but wished we hadn’t, because the supplied breakfast was excellent

AustraliaWe absolutely loved our stay! From the moment we collected the keys—greeted by a kind and helpful gentleman—everything was seamless. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. We had everything we needed for a truly relaxing stay. The attention to detail really stood out—from the quality crockery, cutlery, and wine glasses, to the overall comfort of the space. It felt like a home away from home. Nature put on a spectacular show for us—whales spotted daily, a pod of dolphins, seals at Cape Bridgewater, and kangaroos and wallabies nearby. On our way out, we were even lucky enough to spot a koala! This was such a memorable getaway. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

AustraliaThe Annex was the cheaper of all the cottages. Doesn't have a laundry and wifi is not great. Also the entrance area is not inviting, like the other cottages. Not deal breakers but just thought it was worth mentioning.
This is a beautiful location. We stayed in the annex for 2 nights. The Annex was lovely, had all the comforts you would expect - comfy bed, great shower, well presented and clean. Lounge area was cosy, we had the fire going both nights. Loved that breakfast was supplied. Some lovely walks and of course the light house, right at your back door.

AustraliaThere are a dozen wind turbines outside which kind of ruins the view. There are quite a few flies that got into the property somehow.
The character of the property has been beautifully preserved and the beds are very comfy. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a cute little laundry.

AustraliaThe lighthouse cottage was so beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. At sunset the kangaroos and wallabies would come into the garden and eat the grass, so fabulous to watch. The serenity and beauty is breathtaking…. Lying in a warm comfortable bed listening to the waves crashing was so refreshing and relaxing. We will definitely be returning in the future.

AustraliaWe would have liked to stay longer.
The Annexe is adorable. It is more than adequate for a couple. We loved the isolation and quiet. At night it is wonderful to watch the stars and the lighthouse. The kangaroos and wallabies are a delight. We especially loved the big window in the shower looking out at the bush and kangaroos. We booked a separate tour of the lighthouse with Gordan. It was very informative. Gordan is very knowledgeable and standing at the top of the lighthouse was incredible. Such a view!

AustraliaThe lights were all very bright and we had to put a bedside lamp in the kitchen to find our way to the bathroom at night.
Absolutely lovely experience at a lighthouse cottage! The place was beautifully equipped and comfortable in an exceptional location. Even breakfast items! Glorious scenery and a variety of trails for walking or hiking. Kangaroos visited in the evening. Cosy living room. Unfortunately not cool enough for the fireplace.

AustraliaThe vent in the bathroom gets sucked up by outside wind (of which there was plenty) then drops down again. We rolled up the bath mat across the door to block the tapping noise.
Magnificent location. Comes with free kangaroos (huge and dark grey).
