How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewLocation can not be beaten. Home is very well designed with a great layout. Love that we could bring our dog - thank you
TV can be upgraded - given the $s this property wants I would expect a better viewing experience. Bed was ok but again could be upgraded to a better quality.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, close to shops and places to eat as well as the seaside and park. The house was neat. Well stocked kitchen and good selection of streaming services. Linen was fresh. Nice, quiet area.
Cleaning needs to improve, lots of spiders inside (all rooms) and outside was very messy. Although check-in instructions stipulated there'd be remote control access to the garage, this was not the case; the garage was dirty in any case. Only 2 of the 3 air con units worked, which was disappointing given it was 38 degrees when we arrived and the house was hot as doors and windows were left open. The gas to the stove wasn't connected, which we needed to do ourselves (no instructions about this), however we decided to disconnect it as we could smell gas inside the house. The wifi was unreliable.

Verified reviewThe house had more to offer than we expected! The location was obviously outstanding, we were able to walk everywhere with the kids, young, old and furry!! It really exceeded our expecation. Thank you!
The main bed upstairs is noisy and uncomfortable. This is the only hair I would pick.

Verified reviewAwesome location in Barwon Heads. Just off the main shopping strip, (but oh, so quiet), and a minute walk to the beach. Heaps of parking in the street if your group takes more than one car.
The property needs some personality, (soul). It's a great beach house with all the facilities you need, but it needs to have a 'lived-in' feel.

Verified reviewClean, well appointed, good sized rooms and two living areas. A nice easy walk to all the best parts of Barwon Heads.
Aside from the fact that we only booked for two nights and wish we were staying longer, there’s really nothing to mention!

Verified reviewExcellent location, generally the unit was easy to live in.
We were disappointed in the outdoor area, which had not been swept for quite a long time and appeared grubby. Vacuum cleaner did not work properly and kettle lid fell into the kettle on first boil.
