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...).

AustraliaI stayed for 8 nights and the fridge was a bit small and no other cooking facilities.
Very cosy and comfortable. The garden was waiting too.

AustraliaBe aware that this property is right over a fence from the train line so early morning trains are quite frequent and loud.

AustraliaThe shower dripped constantly and the bathroom smelled very musty and mouldy - like the floorboards were rotting. The bed needs a new mattress/base - it sagged in the middle and rolled us into the middle of the bed. Very uncomfortable. The wi-fi was poor - one or two bars at most.
The location was perfect for us. Very close to the evening event we were attending and a short walk to town for breakfast the day after arrival. The studio was cosy and had pretty much everything you need for an overnight stay - shampoo and condition, plates, glasses, fridge, tv, etc. The heater was efficient and warmed the studio really well.

Good location an easy walk from train station and town centre, easy to locate and access. Pleasant setting, quiet although next to the train line which we liked. Clean comfortable, easy to heat (it was cold weather). Good shower with instant hot water, warm cosy bed, books to read, lots of windows, so good light.

AustraliaBeing next to the railway line does mean you know when a train passes and is probably not ideal but it is a country line so the frequency is not high.
This is a very cosy place that's well situated and set up. Great garden setting that creates a relaxed, casual feel to the stay. Our cabin was well appointed with all the essentials and ideal for a couple.

Australiano access to off-street parking on this occasion as other guests were given priority. wifi was quite weak but just enough to do emails. being so close to a train line crossing with boom gates the bells and train horns are very loud - but I did appreciate the ear plugs provided for this purpose.
close to centre of town, private, quiet in terms of other people, access to laundry facilities in shared space. price was good comparative to other options around town. bed was comfortable. I really liked the WGAC bamboo toilet paper and natural shower products.

AustraliaGreat little cottage Close to what I needed Provided lots of things for a comfortable stay Bed wasn’t that comfortable unfortunately . I didn’t like that I had to go out side to go wash my dishes At a camp/ communal kitchen. Definitely not what I was expecting. Definitely had plumbing problems..as the sink kept filling up with water and not being able to empty..the same with the toilet..it was blocked so I could flush it or go to the toilet. Serious issue

New ZealandTrains close by were a little annoying at times but there weren't many and they didn't disturb us overnight. Dishwashing facilities in the shed a bit primitive but adequate. The short partition alongside one end of the bed made it a little difficult to get in and out on that side and made access to the bedside table awkward. Not a significant problem - just an annoyance.
Good location. Plenty of room.

AustraliaOur lock box was a bit tricky to open took a while. Why was the mattress upside down with the pillow top on the underside? I do find kitchen areas that don't have a dedicated sink a bit tricky to negotiate. At least we did have a bowl and wash up gear and tea towel provided.
no breakfast offered so can't comment, but plenty of tea, sugar and coffee supplied with crockery to make your own. Easy to find property, quiet , in tropical like garden setting. Good space, with lounge chairs and verandah
