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...).

AustraliaNo shade on terraces. We were however aware of this and understand how tricky it can be when windy.
A spacious, modern and spotlessly clean beachhouse in a superb location overlooking St Leonards beach and pier. Very comfortable on all fronts with high quality amenities and generous supplies. It was a perfect place to enjoy with our family of multiple generations. The lift was a bonus for those less abled. Thank you Dianne for sharing your beautiful beachouse and for being such a wonderful host who is accomodating, caring and kind. One of the best places we have stayed in and hope to be back.

AustraliaThe only issue was with the air conditioner on the top floor but Dianne rushed out with 2 fans as it was the Australia Day long weekend and very hot.
It is a beautiful place to stay. It was immaculately clean. The view from the balconies are stunning and the lift is a definite bonus for anyone with disabilities. Dianne was in contact with me during our stay and was very easy to speak to.

AustraliaI am not a barbecue person but would have liked to use it if there were easy to follow instructions. The front security door did not close easily.
The location was waterfront with stunning views and lovely balconies. The property was new and well equipped with modern appliances and very clean. The lift (elevator) was an added benefit. The house was very comfortable and well-located to explore the Bellarine, Geelong, Bay ferries and the Great Ocean Road. It is also perfect also as a place for pure relaxation. Wi Fi was fast and reliable.

AustraliaThis home was a perfect place for us to stay with our family- the bedrooms are across three floors allowing for a level of privacy. The open plan living/ kitchen and dining was spacious and had a great view to the sea. It is in a very short walk to the Main Street, across the road from the beach and pier. The host, Diane, was very lovely to deal with. We would definitely recommend this home.

AustraliaNothing at all.
This property was perfect for our sisters weekend away. It catered for all of our needs and was clean, comfortable and just the right space for total relaxation and access to the beach, walking tracks and small businesses. The host was amazing to deal with both responsive and generous with enabling late checkout and follow up after we left with any issues. Ideal for people with extra needs due to the internal lift and large bedroom and bathroom options. Also such a good price for such a lovely space. Much appreciated.

AustraliaWe would recommend the house of anyone interested, but below, we would like to share our experience in communicating with the owner. The owner seemed to have prepared everything for your comfort but forgot to turn the alarm off. We were waiting outside the house for at least 15 minutes not knowing what to do when the alarm went on, the kids were scared with the ear-damaging noise and we were embarrassed in front of all people and cars passing by. The owner responded after 15-20 minutes and told us what to do to set the alarm off. The main lounge AC went off due to a circuit tripping, we know this could happen and we are not blaming anyone for it. Although we tried to leave the house as clean and tidy as expected from the owner's end, the owner was not happy with the house status in the end. There was a list of things we were blamed for regarding the house cleanliness on departure, but mostly none of them applied to us. The owner wanted to take $50 off the bond toward that but then they waived that when reminded of the house alarm complaint. In summary, the house is stunning and amazing and good value for money, however, there was a great deal of communication problems with the owner that we had to encounter.
The location, the house and the facilitates available were all amazing and we enjoyed the stay in general.
