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...).

Communication with owner was very good. The place was located, easy to find and had everything you could need. As we were only staying overnight, we didn't really have a chance to make use of amenities. This would be a great place to hang out with a bunch of friends.

The house is spacious and equipped with all the facilities you could need. The beautiful garden adds a peaceful touch, and I especially loved the comfortable beds—I'm usually picky with mattresses and pillows, but these were perfect! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the host went the extra mile by leaving us lemons and Tim Tams, which was a lovely surprise. You can even pick fresh herbs from the garden for your meals. The location is excellent—just a short walk to Coles and McCrae Beach. Highly recommended!

Bronwyn was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything was comfortable and secure at the property (including the back door lock that was replaced prior to arrival). Early check-in and late check-out were also available, which was great. The house is spacious and very comfortable with a casual, beach vibe. It is full of amenities, and everything needed for a pleasant stay. Loved the extra touches - chocolates and hot cross buns. Great location near shops and the beach. Had a lovely, relaxing stay at this cosy, welcoming retreat. Thank you, Bronwyn :-)

Just the back door i had trouble locking. But it felt very safe there regardless.
I stayed with my dog & we both loved the big backyard & the closeness to the beach. Only a 5-10 min walk. It was very quiet. Bed comfy & lots of kitchen supplies. A great stay!

There was nothing I didn't like.
The beach house is very spacious. A fantastic family holiday stay. It had everything to keep a family entertained; from all the board games and puzzles to the huge garden with balls and goalie nets. There were plenty of chill out zones, 2 lounges with televisions, a couple of chairs out the front and a huge covered lounging area at the back. A short walk to the beach, restaurants and cafes. With a couple of supermarkets close by. Definitely my type of holiday home - very relaxed with comfy beds. I would return in a heartbeat and I wished we had stayed longer.

This is our second stay and if possible it’s even better. Like coming home. It’s so comfortable and welcoming. Spacious with lots of natural light. Every appliance you’re likely to need. Short pleasant stroll to the beach. We breakfasted at Charli Bean and were treated like old friends. This place made our holiday to Australia. A big thankyou to the host.

Nestled just a short stroll away from Rosebud beach, this quaint beach house offers an idyllic escape for families longing for that "old school" vacation vibe. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the cosy embrace of a well-loved retreat. As you step inside, you're transported to a bygone era of family vacations where simplicity and warmth reign supreme. The beach house boasts ample space for the whole family to spread out and unwind. One of the highlights for us is undoubtedly the beautiful big backyard. It truly does encourage you to simply revel in the joy of togetherness. It's not just the ambience that sets this house apart; it's the thoughtful amenities that cater to every member of the family. From the well-equipped kitchen, to the array of games, DVDs, books, balls and Bronwyn's sheer enthusiasm for your booking (no matter how short), that really makes this little retro beach house feel like a home away from home. We cannot wait to be back!

Plenty of lounging space inside and out, 2 large distinctive inside areas, open plan but with space to get away from each other. Modern kitchen and laundry. Books,lots of games and dvds make this a great holiday spot for any time of year. Reasonably priced as well. Would book again!
