Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThe beds are within living areas of the cottage rather than separate spaces. Not an issue for us but worth noting.

AustraliaIt would be great if there was a better path to the cabin!
The property was really spacious and clean - my mum and I loved the set up and it was a short drive to the main strip of Torquay. Very close to the beach - so perfect if you’re planning to come during summer or just enjoy the sound of the ocean. Bindy was very welcoming and hospitable, she was really communicative via the message feature on the app. Will definitely stay here again in the future if I come to Torquay!

AustraliaOn arrival it felt a little strange entering through a side gate into a garden area, passing the owner's house to the rear building and not knowing if you were in the right place. In general it did not feel right. A hand rail on the second flight of stairs would make it feel safer when using the stairs both ways.
The location was very convenient. The property was neat, clean and well presented. It is ideal for short stays, though we only slept there, spending most of our time visiting family or at the beach.

AustraliaNot a concern for us, but the fact you’re semi private at the back of the main house may be a choice for others.
The cottage is 2 mins from the beach, well equipped for cooking, and set in the quiet back garden. Bindy was fabulous in resolving the internet issue. For other guests looking to work from this property, Bindy has gone out of her way within 2 days to purchase stable internet for the cottage. I got speeds of up to 220mbps download. This is fast enough to run work meetings easily - even for both my husband and I running calls at the same time.

South AfricaThe place has more than what you need. Such a beautiful setting! Right from the moment you open the garden gate, you're met with a luscious garden, and a gorgeous outdoor wooden table under cover. Everything is so homey, so welcoming and just so beautifully done. It really is a2 min walk to the beach, and a gorgeous 20min stroll to amazing restaurants.

AustraliaA minor thing - the queen bed upstairs is positioned in the corner of the space where the ceiling is low. Easily solved by moving the bed to avoid hitting my head on the overhead beams. But the upstairs is otherwise very spacious and very comfortable to sit on the couches to read a book or watch a movie (or in front of the wood heater in winter).
Spacious and comfortable, lots of places indoor and outdoor to relax, excellent kitchen with basic cooking supplies provided (coffee, oil, salt, sugar, etc), beach right nearby, town centre a short walk away.
