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...).

AustraliaRooms a bit tired. Very slippery floors on bathroom, no shower curtain so floor was awash. Small tea and coffee space with power cords pulled in and out depending on the appliance used. Only cooking was the in-room microwave and a jug, tiny refrigerator.
The location was excellent. Welcomed by a large number of kangaroos. Quite, only guests on this site. Kaola walks and bushland walks beaut and age friendly, flat trails. Wi-Fi and TV was very good. Take insect repellent year round. A small island with no shops, a bonus, but also a problem if ill-prepared.

AustraliaThe Abbey is a lovely place to stay - a little oasis in the busyness of life. We loved having access to a private beach, walking on Raymond Island and seeing the wildlife. The cottage provided good accommodation for our small family holiday. Having a kitchen meant that we could self-cater, and we enjoyed meals in the restaurants in Paynesville each evening.

AustraliaBed clothes will need updating to achieve a higher rating.
We paid $14 for a car and 2 adults to get to the Island. We parked our car at the Abbey and started to unload our bags. There was a Koala sitting in a tree above our car. Other sightings included kangaroos, echidna and many types of birds. There are no shops or restaurants on the island but you can catch the ferry back to Paynesville for free at anytime.

AustraliaRooms could replace towels as they were clean but thin and old. Rooms all have a nice aspect of the garden but are not private, as other guests walk past to reach their rooms and the large windows look directly over the bed although, they have a curtain it could do with an inner lining to let in light but provide privacy. Washing up dishes in the bathroom sink is also feels a little unhygenic.
An amazing location near the waters edge and directly connected to the loop of the Koala Trail which was aan amazing experience to see koals in the wild. The room was very clean, bed comfortable with all the basics provided for self catering ( microwave, dishes cutlery & fridge).

AustraliaThe cutlery in the room was dirty and is not acceptable. Exhaust was not working in 2 out of 3 bathrooms. Some towels were not clean as well. Finally, the slope in the showers was not right as water was coming out when bathing.
The property is at a superb location nestled between trees with beautiful open spaces.
