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...).

AustraliaLack of kitchen items was a little challenging. A few more bowls and a large platter for a charcuterie board would have made our stay a little more comfortable.
Beautiful and tranquil, loved being surrounded by nature. Being able to sit by the fire with wine (generously provided by hosts) family and our furbabies was a blissful way to spend the weekend.

AustraliaPotential to waste water due to dripping taps if not turned strongly off. Timber stairs are showing signs of age and slippery when wet - potential for injury if not careful. TV is huge for the space - maybe just too big as it dominates the lounge room.
The cottage is set in a tranquil location close by the Hepburn and Daylesford attractions. It was clean, warm and comfortable.

AustraliaOur stay was too short. The cheeky possum on the roof during the night.
Nice touch: The host left a complimentary UHT milk in the refrigerator & a complimentary bottle of wine. The soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom was appreciated. The kitchen was handy to have as we had breakfast there. I was able to reach the hosts when I phoned him and he was helpful in resolving the query we had. Woodfire heater was LOVELY! A short stroll from the Hepburn Springs Bath house. A beautiful, quiet bush setting away from the quiet suburban street. It was a wonderful weekend away.

AustraliaSafety concern being the bunk beds- no bed rails on the top bunks. There was a fall at night and it could’ve ended much badly than a bruised hip. As long as you’re aware then this is a great accommodation option.
Cozy stay. Happy with our booking choice. Good location.

AustraliaNothing. My stay could not have been more comfortable, pleasant or easy! I highly recommend Hepburn Cottages for natures lovers who don't expect 5 star accommodation, and/or those with a furry family member.
This was a very comfortable and clean self contained cottage, set in a beautiful and peaceful bush location. My favourite part is that the cottages are dog-friendly and Hepburn/Daylesford is a very dog friendly area. I found lots of things to do very close by that I could do with my dog, in fact I found myself staying right next door to the Hepburn Mineral Springs - a real bonus. (LOL, didn't notice that detail upon booking.)

AustraliaThere wasn't really anything which I didn't like about the accommodation, but there are a couple of things which need to be mentioned for safety reasons. The steps are steep and an additional rail against the house would be beneficial to help guests to balance when going down the steps, in particular, I had to go up and down the steps many times with two dogs, it was very difficult to balance. The boards on the lower landing are rotten and are breaking, this needs to be fixed asap, the sensor light only works sometimes, again a huge safety issue. The actual stay was great.
The accommodation was clean, it was well laid out, beds were comfortable, having Netflix was a bonus, it had everything that we needed and was definitely dog friendly which was important to us. It even had a washing machine which I needed as I fell in the mud :-)
