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 reviewDidn’t like the process of applying to stay and $500 holding felt like a scam. Then we were worried about being scammed while staying.

Verified reviewGreat location, within walking distance to center of Daylesford. The studio is clean, and there is plenty of heating for cold nights.
The bed wasn't comfortable until the second night when we fixed the slats underneath the mattress.

Verified reviewThis site was upsold as an art 'studio' but in reality it was just a commercial space revamped to get a better earn. The Bromley mural was nice (because I like Bromley) but not much else floated our boat given the quite expensive price. I guess parking was free and right outside the door which was good. Location was good, a short walk to a couple of pubs, the main drag and Winespeake. That was about it.
Entry through a poorly surfaced driveway and parking area into a commercial carport arrangement. Felt like we were probably parked with the pub cleaners. Got an apartment for a little additional comfort but this wasn't it. No aircon. TV didn't have an aerial connection so couldn't watch free to air, kitchenette wasn't very well appointed, furniture was rudimentary. Mr is a fair sized unit and could barely close the bathroom door when sitting on the toilet. A portable clothes horse had been provided (we guess to hang towels because there were no towel racks) but it was broken and next to useless.
Hi Mark, thanks for your review. Whilst we're glad you enjoyed the artwork, we are disappointed that we weren't made aware of any of these issues prior to your review. With regards to the TV, we are working with the owner to provide free-to-air. The TV does allow for streaming services for guests to enjoy. We will look into the broken clothes horse, thank you. We have not had any comments from other guests regarding the entry, but hope you had a good stay in Daylesford regardless.

Verified reviewgreat location, walking distance to Daylesford shops. The studio was tidy and clean and the bed was comfortable. I also liked that my car was undercover.
The bathroom sink was very small.

Verified reviewloved the artwork & location was great having a separate living & sleeping area & room to move handy for walking distance to shops/restaurants
the heating is insufficient for the space; the unit was cold as it doesn't get any direct sunlight bathroom was very small noisy upstairs neighbours no access to live TV available if you don't have internet streaming (not everyone has access to this); streaming constantly dropped out due to poor reception for internet; basic TV channels are a given when travelling we were woken both nights by scratching noises in the bedroom ceiling/walls most likely from mice; it definitely wasn't water in pipes
Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re glad you liked the location and artwork. We are pleased to say that: - We have been advised by the office above that they have discovered a friendly possum in their roof which explains the noises. They have told us that they are getting a professional in to remove the possum very soon. - We plan to connect the TV to free to air in the near future (we need to ensure we don't damage the amazing artwork on the walls) - We are sorry that the heaters weren't to your comfort level. We have had them tested in the past and assure you that they heat the room adequately when turned to the correct setting. We will provide instructions for future guests in the studio to ensure this doesn't happen again.

In a “car park” - not good if you wanted a sleep in. 4am on Sunday morning, otherwise 7.30 ish during the week
Hi Christine, thanks so much for your review. We’re glad you liked the location. We apologise for the early wake up, we have not received this feedback before given the studio is located off the street. We hope you still enjoyed all Daylesford has to offer.
