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 reviewNice aspect; fireplace. To be fair, we didn't have time to walk the property.
Was smaller than anticipated; rustic but confined. Kitchen facilities and space was inadequate. Note that other accommodation offered on the property was more spacious, with more room to swing a cat.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful three night stay here during late autumn. We got the old farmhouse, which was spacious, comfortable and clean. Kitchen was beyond fully equipped - they even had a rice cooker! It got a little chilly in the evenings but we got the fireplace going and the house was warm and cosy. There's a great view of the sunrise right from the front porch, with mists swirling in the valley below. If you're lucky enough to have a clear night, head out for some stargazing - the milky way glows gloriously through the night. There's a small hill behind the property which leads into their own rainforest trek. Lots of mushrooms, ferns, and gum trees to be seen. Plenty of pademelons and wallabies at dawn and dusk too. Grant and Marieke were wonderful and generous hosts. Guests are allowed into the vegetable garden to take what they need (harvest responsibly and leave some for others).
Nothing at all

Verified reviewI actually want to live here. So many thoughtful touches, a fabulous view and a walk on the property that rivalled the ones in the National Park. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewExcellent place. Taken care of the smallest details and you can feel the love the owner has for this place. It was lovely talking to Grant. The trail on the property was amazing. We saw so many birds and some pademelons. Also saw a platypus at the pond. The house was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed.

Verified reviewPeaceful country location with amazing views. Grant the manager was very helpful and kind. We loved his wood pile sculptures. The vegetable garden was a bonus. Lovely walk up the hill to the yoga hut with a panoramic vista. Sweet and quirky decor that feels very homely.
The bed in the cottage called Pearls was too firm for me. It was quite hot one day and the fan was not strong. It has minimal kitchen bench-space and no oven.
