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...).

AustraliaFor an apartment for 8 pax, there should have more than 1 toilet unit. It can be a mad rush at times.

AustraliaThe main big bedroom needs an air conditioner, so we ended up using the smaller bedroom. It was quite comfortable but in the summer all the bedrooms needs to be air conditioned as the main living areas are all glass.
The extra touches such as cleaning items, salt and pepper, fresh bread etc. we travel a lot but often with holiday homes you need to stock up on things that you use but you haven’t brought from home, like condiments. It’s not worthwhile packing them to take home so they end up in the bin. At Rosie’s we appreciated these things supplied.

AustraliaWe would love to have seen the penguins that were in our backyard.
The house was perfect. It was a great base for our week of adventures. Very close to the beach. We could lay in bed and see the beach. Penguins in the backyard. Although we couldn't see them, we heard them.

AustraliaThe light in the vanity area was pretty dark for applying makeup. Water pressure was not great in the shower, but there is no mains water in the town so its to be expected. Penguins were a little noisy, but its nature and a good experience.
The location was fantastic with such beautiful views. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. Very peaceful setting would recommend to others. Will encourage family and friends to stay.

AustraliaHaha, we didn’t see any penguins. We could hear them, but no matter how much we looked and waited, they were too elusive. I referred to them as Ghost Penguins.
Location was great as it overlooked all of Emu Bay. Very picturesque and calming to enjoy a coffee or wine on the deck whilst reading and watching the world go by.

AustraliaWhen we got there we could get the key out of the locked box (it was old and rusty) so we called the owners. They were quite hard to get hold of and grumpy when they delivered the key, almost like it was our fault.
Great location and lovely view! House was set up with all we needed with full kitchen and bedding.
