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 reviewThe house was so unique, like something out of a TV show. This heritage house is beautiful and charming, we loved the spacious kitchen the most as we made most of our dinners at the house. Lovely vibes, my dad loved the house so much he didn't want to leave LOL. The location is very central and it's easy to get from 1 place to another. I have shared this listing with my friends and family so they can experience the best stay in Launceston. Highly recommended!
Heater took a while to warm up the house but other than that, everything was amazing. My elderly dad hates climbing stairs but he did it anyway because he loves the house so much.
Claire thanks so much for your beautiful comments. I’m so glad your dad enjoyed the house. I have a spare bed I could have set up in the downstairs study for him if I knew he had mobility issues. Thanks you also for being so respectful of Ellie’s place - you and your friends are welcome anytime!

Verified reviewLocation was great. Lots of space inside the house. Nice verandah to catch the sun in the afternoons
We needed a bed downstairs and host had forgotten to make up the sofa bed or put out bedding
Dear Libby I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed Ellie’s place. It is in a fantastic location and there is lots of room for everyone to enjoy! I sincerely apologise that I did not set up the downstairs bed. Unfortunately I had a close Friend pass away and it had slipped my mind as the funeral was on the day of your stay. Not using this as an excuse but if you had given me a call or sent a message I could have quickly organised someone to set up the bed straightaway for your mum as the additional Bedding was in the closet upstairs.

Verified reviewLocation was the best. Could easily walk to where you wanted to go in the city as directly opposite the City Park. House was awesome as everywhere you looked you would find something new. Nothing needed as all was provided. Rate this as the best place we stayed during our 2 weeks in Tassie
If the BBQ was operational as that is how I like to cook

Verified reviewThe house is beautifully decorated with delightful items to enjoy everywhere you look. It is spacious with two living areas downstairs and a large main bedroom with a walk-in robe and three other bedrooms. It has many excellent features such as comforitable couches, two bathrooms, two TVs, one large, more than the usual kitchen and bathroom supplies, and a lovely courtyard in the back garden.The location, opposite City Park and close to the CBD, is excellent. It suited us perfectly as a base for our wedding in City Park.
We were staying when the weather was hot ( 32 degrees), and the bedrooms were too hot, especially the main bedroom. The fans provided didn't do much to cool these spaces. Also, there was a step down from the hall into the family room and from the kitchen to the family room, which I tripped on. When you have multi focal glasses, you don't see such steps very well. Possibly, a warning sign beside the door would be good. The upstairs bathroom window is very low. A child could easily fall out of it. A guard rail of some sort over the window would be good.

Verified reviewBeautifully presented property! Loved the sympathetic decor reflecting the age of the property. The location was 10/10 as it was overlooking City Park.
The weather was pretty hot during our stay and although there were fans provided, no aircon made it a little uncomfortable. Would not let that put us of staying again though!

Verified reviewGreat location and just a lovely property. Full kitchen which was good for cooking breakfast and dinner instead of eating out. Location was excellent for walking into Launceston, we would visit the monkeys a few times a day in City Park. The door code entry was just great as there were 5 of us and we could all come and go as we pleased, no stress with a key. Just a lovely comfortable place to stay.
