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...).

AustraliaThe only problem we had was that one of our dogs found some rat bait in the garden. It was inside a plastic container, but she is a very determined little thing and would probably have been able to chew through it if she’d had enough time! Luckily it happened while we were outside watching her.
We loved the location of this property and its stunning views over the water! Everything was super comfortable and we loved relaxing on the deck every day. My daughter especially enjoyed the hammock! The doggies loved exploring the large garden and going for walks on the beach.

AustraliaNothing!
Location, Location, Location! We have visited KI numerous times, this is by far the best place we have stayed. It’s worth it for the view alone, however the beds are ridiculously comfortable, the fire is amazing on a cool night and there is every amenity and appliance you could possibly need. The garden is fully enclosed for even the tiniest dogs. Have a walk around the block at dusk and see all the amazing wildlife and go early to the Fat Beagle cafe for a vanilla slice before they all sell out!!

Everything! The owners/operators have done a wonderful job to provide a comfortable home and include it with everything a family needs for a stay. We loved the location, their promptness at communicating, their warmth in welcoming us to the property with a little gift over christmas made us feel so special.

AustraliaSome holiday houses leave a few basic kitchen supplies like salt sugar oil vinegar etc and a note to replace if it runs out. This makes cooking a meal a lot simpler and cheaper.
The house met all our basic needs without being overdone with furnishings and decor. So it had the feeling of a beach holiday house.

AustraliaThe home had everything you could want for a weekend on Kangaroo Island. Close to the ferry, perfect for a late Friday night arrival. Back garden and deck overlooks the bay and the many dolphins swimming by. Beds were comfortable and the reverse cycle airconditioner took the chill off the air in the evening. Kangaroos, wallabies and what looked like potoroos came out at dusk and while we didn't see them, we could hear the little penguins calling at night. Nick, the owner was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend for a long weekend or even longer stay.

AustraliaThe steps down to yard are very slippery when wet. The lounges have very little "cushion" left and therefore are not that comfortable anymore.
You can't beat the view. It is certainly stunning. The kitchen was very well equipped and overall the house was very neat and clean. Beds were comfy as well. We loved the wood fire place it made the place very cosy.

AustraliaAs a safety issue felt the toilet door should open outwards rather than into toilet area. My husband is tall & well built and found it tight to enter toilet. Also had an experience were a family member fell in a toilet similar to this home and rescuers had trouble to gain access to victim.
Well situated. Clean and comfortable.
