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...).

AustraliaThere was nothing I didn't like.
The cottage is gorgeous and very comfortable. The fireplace is a treat in the winter. Only a few minutes drive to Leongatha. We loved everything about Walnut Cottage. Perfect for us while visiting family in the area.

AustraliaFor some reason I wasn’t getting connected to the internet but since I came here to switch off and get some r and r, I didn’t need the internet. So this wasn’t much of a bother for me.
Love this place. Stayed over 3 nights and was looking for a cottage to switch off for a while. It has that quintessential cottage charm and woke up to birds singing. Really enjoyed my time here. This place was also quite close to Leongatha town centre that it’s not too far a drive to get some supplies. But also far enough that you can enjoy the countryside.

AustraliaNA.
The country-cottage vibe complete with fireplace and cottage decorative items gave me a proper break from the city. But the cottage has a modern kitchen and bathroom for comfort. The extensive and lush garden surrounds are also impressive! It was the perfect environment to relax as a family and play board games. And during the day made road trips to visit Wilson’s property and other surrounding areas for hikes and walks.

AustraliaCatalin and his family were kind, generous and attentive hosts, making sure we had everything we needed to make our stay beautiful, and also respecting our privacy. It is a dear little 1890s cottage, lovingly restored. Being nestled amidst the organic food forest was truly heavenly. The earth and everything in it felt so good! Access for my elderly mum into the cottage and back and forth to the car was easy. And the surrounding area is gorgeous - rolling hills and so many historic towns to pop to for coffee and lunch. Highly recommended.

AustraliaThe pantry was extremely bare! You’ll need to bring EVERYTHING with you including oil to cook with, margarine etc. Only soy milk was provided so bring your own milk too. The supermarket is at least 10 minutes away and we were on motorbikes which made things a little less practical with bringing supplies. No stress! Just need to be a little organised.
The cottage is beautiful! Quiet and secluded it is perfect for a much needed escape from noise and busy life! Loved the friendly cat! Ample dishes and cooking utensils. Beautiful gardens. Lots of blankets and spares.

AustraliaNot that I know of. However, it is a good idea to check in at the cottage before it gets dark, otherwise you might wander into your hosts' properly, but thank God Catalin very kindly helped me navigate back to the cottage! If you get stuck, just give Catalin a call :)
My hosts Catalin and his wife are warm, friendly and super helpful! I love the picturesque outdoor area and the homely cottage! I feel like I can make my home here ❤️😄

AustraliaTrees were very over grown on entering the property and near the carparking. Main bed was very small , as big as it could be considering the space it had to fit but was up against the window frame which wasn't great when hitting it during the night, electric blanket was uncomfortable. TV didn't receive any channels! Fan in bathroom wasn't effective therefor the floor was damp and slippery. Tea and coffee provided was out of date. Fireplace was positioned in dangerous location, no fire guard.
House was cute
