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...).

AustraliaLochinvar House is an idyllic country manor in original, historic mid 1800’s architecture and decor nestled in a scenic valley no more than 20mins from the heart of the Hunter. The caretakers Lara and Thomas were passionate and proud, ensuring our party were comfy and well fed from the amazing breaky. Ideal location for a celebration or just to chill and get in some quality time with friends or family.

AustraliaIt is a bit hard to find signage wise of the highway but once you know where it is all was ok.
It is a beautiful old house where you feel the history. Our room was really spacious and even though there were other guests in the house we barely knew they were there. Cooked breakfast every morning by the caretaker was great and very accommodating for the time we asked for, including a very early 6.30am breakfast.

AustraliaThe building and grounds obviously require some repairs. Repainting, replastering etc. The neglect of those issues will only make them worse with time. A little TLC by the owners and this majestic property would be outstanding.
Caretaker Marina was excellent. Friendly, helpful and very considerate. We were easily able to change our booking date after our plans changed. Our room was nice, comfortable and quiet. The house is an amazing example of colonial heritage and the location a great getaway. The pool in summer would be a wonderful bonus.

The hospitality of our host was warm, personal and helpful, a lovely bonus!. The heritage building and its lovely landscape setting is unique and historic. Great for a quiet getaway that feels peaceful and calm but is also just down the road from all the attractions of the region. We personally also received amazing flexibility from our host and owner when we had turned up on the wrong day due to a mix up on our part. they went above and beyond to graciously accommodate us.
