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 backyard was so muddy that it was unusable, which was disappointing as the property was chosen because it had a backyard.
The house was well maintained and nicely presented. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds very comfy.

MalaysiaWell equipped stand alone house, with 3 rooms 2 queen size bed and 4 bunk beds. Kitchen with stove, oven and microwave, and plenty of pots, pans, plates, bows, forks and spoons. Can foods are provided, and coffee machine with ample of coffee tablets, besides coffee and tea bags. Sitted on the hill, about 500 meter from the edge of the sea, walking at the seaside trail and enjoying the peaceful environment is soothing.

AustraliaNice house in a good location walking distance to shops etc. Older type house but was cosy and clean. It had pretty much everything we needed. Great comfy beds and good sized main bedrooms. The only bad points were mould on the silicon/grouting in the bathroom and kitchen. The toilet was in a strange location in the laundry away from the bathroom (and bedrooms).. We also could have used another garbage bag as there were no spares available. BBQ and outside of windows could have done with a clean as well. The garden was a little bit sad with lots of cracking soil visible but there is little water available I think so probably that's why.These were only minor things and did not impact how good we felt in the house, however!

AustraliaProperty was easy to locate and was a good location. Key safe was easy to locate and easy to open. Grandkids loved the bunk beds - must have been really comfortable as the slept in - a rarity! Beds were comfortable and bedding was just right. The property manager was great - gave us plenty of information on what to see, where to eat, etc.

AustraliaThe property is very dated and in need of some serious maintenance, particularly the floor which is very uneven. Although the property is clean ‘on the surface’ the exhaust fan, door frames, windows, blinds etc are very grubby. The property would benefit from a major clean.
The house was within easy walking distance to restaurants, cafés and shops.

AustraliaThe property was due for a spring clean - there were biscuit pieces under the lounge From a previous occupant.
The property was reasonably well equipped. Whilst it was self contained we decided not to cook but there appeared to be everything we would need if we had de died to do so.

AustraliaHouse needs a bit of maintenance - the laminate edging on the kitchen floor is sharp and could be dangerous for a crawling baby, overgrown weeds on the side of the property. Only access is via stairs, which made it difficult to get the pram inside - this is not obvious from the listing/pictures. Would be good to have a couple of board games, also would be better to have handwash at every sink (eg laundry sink where the toilet is)
Very comfortable & clean. Well-equipped kitchen, could cook full meals easily. Great location in central Kingscote. Excellent water pressure. Great TV with Netflix etc subscriptions.

Australia- no plug for bath and sinks except kitchen. - not vacuumed under bed and couch etc. consequently makes me wonder about AC filter and such. - not all windows had working locks and windows screens were poor and let bugs in. - screen doors don’t lock. - tap in bathroom washer is perishing leaks from cold tap when turned. - vacuum cleaner has poor suction and was initially dead.
Reasonable for the price and has all your basics price is suitable for the property.
