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.).

Hi Linda, thanks for leaving us your review, we're so glad you appreciated our quiet location on the edge of Wooditjup National Park but with the convenience of being so close to town. I'm genuinely sorry to see the fairly average scores in a few areas, especially as there was no response to our communication or mention of any issues during your stay. We appreciate your feedback and remain committed to offering a clean, comfortable and welcoming stay for all future guests. Should you ever return to Margaret River I would love the opportunity to welcome you back. Glen

Welcome provision not great
Hi Shay, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review, we're glad to hear you loved our location and facilities at the chalet. Thank you for your feedback with regards to the welcome provisions. At the time of booking, we do advise guests that we are very happy to provide some basic provisions to kickstart the first day, which include a variety of teas, coffee pods, long life milk, jams and spreads, along with pantry staples such as oil, herbs and spices. However guests are advised that if they wish to prepare their own meals, that they bring their own fresh provisions, or purchase from one of the numerous shops and fresh food markets only a few minutes from the chalet. As we're locals to the area we're more than happy to advise and make recommendations for shops, bars and restaurants! We hope you'll return one day to explore more of the region, and once again thank you for staying with us. Glen

Verified reviewBeautifully appointed. When we go away we like to feel spoiled and Riveresque hit the brief. I could have spent the whole weekend on the amazing raised verandah watching and listening to a variety of birds come and go. I would actually say the photos don't do it justice it is very light and bright. We even had a kangaroo pop by. Will definitely be back.
Thank you for your lovely review Diane, we’re so glad you were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of our setting and had a surprise visit from our local kangaroos! Safe travels and look forward to having you stay again in the future. Glen

Verified reviewLovely spacious house set right on the edge of the forest, plenty of space, big verandah on which to eat your breakfast and watch birds flying from tree to tree. Nice spa-type shower room with whirlpool bath, plus outdoor shower.
My fault, but I didn’t realise it’s not really walking distance to town. Would be good to have a washing machine in the house instead of having to go to a laundrette.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the villa’s natural setting and the peaceful atmosphere on the verandah—being as close as we are to the Margaret River there’s no shortage of wildlife! We appreciate your note about the location. We aimed to create a peaceful retreat close to nature, so we’re about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive from the centre of town. We hope the nearby forest and privacy made up for the extra distance. As for the washing machine, we do show in the listing that we don’t have one on-site (due to space limitations) but we’re currently looking at ways to accomodate a washing machine in the future. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Our stay was lovely overall but there could have been a bit more attention to the smaller things...there were no tea bags ,no tissues .Also no kitchen towel or serviettes or glad wrap or foil in the kitchen these are just basic items .An extra hair-dryer would have been good,one in each bathroom. Small things make the difference.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Larraine. We take a great deal of pride in our attention to the small things and were surprised by a few of the items mentioned above. After you checked out we reviewed your list, I can confirm there was definitely black tea, green tea, coffee and hot chocolate in the pantry, along with all the usual pantry staples such as cooking oil, salt, pepper and a range of cooking spices. Regular and almond milk was also provided in the fridge, along with a selection of jams, honey and other spreads. Kitchen towels and paper towels were provided and these were located under the kitchen sink. Thank you for bringing to our attention the lack of foil and glad wrap, these are usually provided and it appears they were missing, and this has now been rectified. Your suggestion of a second hair dryer is good one, so we've bought an extra one for the second bathroom. We continually seek to improve our guests' experience, and hope you'll return for another visit one day. Glen

Thank you for your very kind rating of our property Rossukon. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the location and comfort we have to offer. We understand your disappointment in not being able to use the indoor fireplace, unfortunately we had to make a hard decision to disconnect the old gas fireplace and replace with reverse cycle cooling/heating instead, which is more in line with our energy efficiency and sustainability goals. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to welcome you back to our little hideaway again one day. Glen
