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 reviewVery good place for the family trip. Children enjoyed the most and the kangaroos hopping around every morning was the best. We enjoyed our stay hopefully visit next time.😌
No internet and mobile service while inside the property.

Verified reviewWhat a nice surprise to have a breakfast pack. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Very quiet location with cows & kangaroos visiting. It was perfect for us visiting family.

Verified reviewThe cottage runs off tank water, we ran out of water the day after check in (we barley used the water the day/night of checking in) which was the day of an event that I needed to be at but because we couldn’t use the showers/toilets we were severely delayed, tried to contact the host multiple times and couldn’t get through so I drove down to the local petrol station to buy bottled water to wash myself and 1 year old son in, there is no wifi and the reception was so bad I was literally in SOS the entire time and couldn’t contact my partner to tell him that I and our son would be late to attend the event, couldn’t use basic amenities pretty much the whole stay it was a joke, the cottage was also dirty and needed a good vacuum

Verified reviewBreakfast materials were supplied ( eggs, bacon, toast, tea, coffee and milk). Kitchen had great utensils for cooking etc. Privacy was good, friends loved playing table tennis and darts. Close to wineries, cheese shop, olive shop and Bulga tavern.
It was extremely hot (43 degrees) the day we arrived. The airconditioner worked a treat but took a while to cool all the rooms.

Verified reviewOur hosts Ken & Karre went above & beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable, relaxing & that we had everything we needed. The villa was very spacious & well presented, with plenty of towels for us. The kitchen & BBQ facilities were amazing & the view breathtaking. An abundance of local wildlife came to visit, which was an added bonus.
I cannot think of anything I didn’t like!!

Verified reviewProperty is located in a quiet area so away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The game and bbq area outside was nice but not well maintained. No shortage of kangaroos around the property.
I felt the photos on the website was misleading as the villa has no view (if you are looking for a place with a view of vineyards this is not your best option). Overall cleanliness was disappointing. One then bathrooms was really dirty with the bottom of the toilet seat disgusting. No shelf area in that bathroom either. “Well equipped kitchen “ needs a definition check. Missing some of the basics like a peeler, paper towels and cleaning supplies (was asked to clean the bbq after use but with what??!!). BBQ was dirty (you can imagine why). Owner seems very frugal with only small portions of milk, sugar for a family of 4. No condiments (so get your own!). Was asked not to use one of the single beds as will need to be remade!! And get your own firewood for the fireplace outside.

Verified reviewExcellent location. Accommodation is spacious and well provisioned. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed to cook simple meals. Loved the breakfast items provided, very helpful and thoughtful. Ken was lovely, friendly and helpful. Safe space for our young child to explore outside, he loved watching the cows, kangaroos and birdlife.
Whole cottage needs a good clean, cobwebs and dust in all rooms and greasy residue on kitchen surfaces. Kitchen utensils not cleaned well, rings inside coffee cups, greasy fingerprints on glasses, pans with food residue.
Hi Katie. Thankyou for your kind words and your feedback. Any issues you have identified we will rectify and monitor. Regards, Ken

Verified reviewAmazing location. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Breakfast foods waiting for us. Wonderful location for little ones to run around.
Phone service is minimal but it adds to the secluded experience.

Verified reviewNot much around the location. There's a nice pub 15min away.
The owner changed the price when I stayed there and modified all my booking information on booking.com.
Hi Adrian, thankyou for your comments. You initially booked for 2 guests, but when you arrived you had 5 adults and 2 children. As we charge per guest and I discussed with you prior to your arrival the additional cost per guest, the booking price was increased to account for the additional guests, and your boking details were adjusted for the final price, but you failed to pay the final booking cost, yet we provided you the service as finally requested. The shortfall was over $1000 for which i have not been remunerated. Regards, Ken McCraw
