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 were a lot of dead ants in 2 of the bedrooms as well as live ones including in 2 of the beds. Given the dead ones I suspect this was known, but they need a better ant rid system. The shower downstairs barely has water running through it. Upstairs shower is good. Didn’t use the spa bath but looked nice. Soundproofing from upstairs to downstairs bedrooms isn’t great so you hear footsteps easily but to be expected in a timber house . A few spare blankets would be appreciated as the nights were cold and though there’s electric blankets and a wall heater in the living room, it was still chilly.
Lovely quaint house with a split system heated bedroom upstairs with ensuite, and 2 bedrooms downstairs with wall heaters that didn’t do much. Nice linen, a good supply of firewood and well drawing fireplace, and crockery and glassware that we needed. Lovely large block with a view, and kangaroos on the lawn in the mornings.

AustraliaNothing to note. There were a lot of ants, but that's what you get in the country. We really couldn't fault anything.
We had everything we needed, and the wine and chocolate were a lovely and appreciated addition. The open fire was heaven, as was the deep bath, and the stunning vistas out every window made it such a relaxing and special place to stay. Loved seeing kangaroos in the garden. Decorated beautifully, we could have stayed much longer.

AustraliaA little concern with the step down into the lounge particularly on arrival. Is there a way to improve that without taking away from the lovely surroundings. Maybe a small line?
We loved the house and surroundings, and lucky enough to be there at a time to enjoy sitting on the veranda with lovely autumn colours.
