Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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 window in the bathroom was left open with no fly screen (it was a hot day) so although we were thankful for some air into the room it let in quite a few bugs, I woke up a few times to mosquitos flying around my head and got a couple of bites throughout the night and the pillows were quite hard
Very cute little place for a quick stay, the bed was super comfortable, the views were lovely and the pet kitty we found asleep on the little balcony was the cutest surprise

It was a very wet day, the path to the unit was awash, and the dogs got rather wet.
It was close to the functions we were attending. The dogs were happy with the surrounds. The bed had an electric blanket! There was a coffee pod machine so we could have coffee without going out. The heater was most effective. The shower was great. The view was lovely from both the lounge and the bedroom.

We absolutely loved looking out the large windows with a magical view of the garden, watching the rain as we got ready for a family's special celebration. It was a cosy, comfortable space, perfect for a mini-getaway.

It was in a very difficult location, although it’s near to the Nathania reception. There wasn’t any television in the room. There were plenty of insects, everywhere.
The view out of the window is amazing. The host is amazing. It was very zen and peaceful.

I thought from the photo that it had a log fire. The electric one was good up look at but not very efficient.
The view to the garden is lovely and it was cosy and homely. It was great to walk to the pub for dinner.

The location was great and the cottage was comfortable and warm. It was clean and the view was lovely. An extra bonus was that the owner turned on the heater and electric blankets prior to our arrival so that we would be warm and comfortable when we arrived. Loved it!

There was several things that were not what I expected. No shower products - eg. Shampoo/conditioner. One roll of toilet paper only, 2 coffee pods for 2 people all weekend. Heating not sufficient for cottage, would not like to be there in winter. It was not very clean either, particularly the bathroom wall & floor tiles.. no curtains on bedroom windows, but picture shows there is.. no outdoor light working outside of cottage & with rain was abit slippery. would not stay there again..
Garden view was nice.

We received a messaging saying the key was on the breakfast bar. We had to park near the main house and pass the cars in the driveway. The message said the heater was on.although this was true, it was a fake flame heater which wouldn't warm up a toilet cubicle, the place was freezing. The advertisement stated it was an apartment but this was barely a bungalow. It was not clean with cobwebs and just a general run down look. There is no TV. The cupboards are covered with curtains which also cover a pipe and a hole in the wall. There are no curtains on the windows so no privacy if someone walked in the garden. When we messaged the owner stating we were leaving because we were cold and the lack of TV the owner just stated if we wanted a TV we should have read the ad. We knocked on the door to the main house to talk to someone about maybe getting another heater but there was no response. Our messages to Jack were not responded to apart from the TV comment. $170 for a cold bungalow and a huge lack of service. For the price we could spend the night in the city in a warm motel

The place was very dirty. Cobwebs everywhere, microwave was disgusting looked like it hadn't been cleaned in about a year, the oil left for use had stuff floating in it, cloudy and thick. No basic amenities left that normal stays have (tea and coffee) although I probably wouldn't have used have due to cleanliness of cups/ glasses. Stove was not great to use. For the price it was very disappointing in regard to value for money. The glass walls were lovely but could use curtains to keep the place a little more private and warmer. The heater was useless, didn't heat the place up at all. The one good thing was the heated blankets in the bed. No TV, radio, nothing! Probably would stay again or recommend, sorry but for the price it just doesn't match other properties. Everything just needs a GOOD CLEAN!
Great setting, and close to town. Jack was really nice to deal with in regard to checking in!
