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 reviewAnother wonderful stay with a very accommodating host, who went above and beyond to make me comfortable. Due to a change in my plans, I needed an early check-in - not only was this happily arranged, but they also (with my permission) turned on the heater so the room was warm when I returned late in the evening. The bed is extremely comfortable, the Smart TV a nice touch, and the kitchen is well stocked with complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks. There is plenty of parking with room to turn around at this venue - a rare convenience in the hills. I’m often in the area for events, and this is my preferred venue for convenience, comfort, and price. You won’t find better nearby!

Verified reviewIt was clean with a lovely new bathroom hot shower and comfortable bed. Very nice linen and very clean unit. I loved that we had a fully fenced yard for our little dog.
The access was atrocious and difficult in a big car. It was freezing when we arrived, the heating should have been put on well before we arrived. Reverse cycle air con is not sufficient for Dandenong rainforest.

Verified reviewGreat budget accommodation. Comfortable bed, covered parking. Great communication. Good heating. Kind owner who allowed us early entry as we had a wedding to attend. We would stay there again.
Very tricky driveway, but great forewarning by owner. I would choose alternate coffee/ teacups to the ones provided. They may have been clean, but didn't appear clean. It was a bit of a challenge to get to sleep as there was a dog barking until midnight.

Verified reviewBed was very comfortable and the extra touches of chocolates etc was lovely. Also having streaming channels available was appreciated.
It was a little difficult getting in and out of the suite, the narrow entrance with the bricks and a fern in the way made it a little bit of a maze.
