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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaIt would be great to have a woodfire in main living area , as it was quite cold and heated flooring only gave minimum heat.
Being close to Ballarat town centre was perfect for shopping, eateries and a short drive to beautiful Lake Wendouree. The accommodation was very appealing with its history and amenities. Lived the huge bathroom.

AustraliaI was not sure about breakfast amenities. I read other reviews mentioning minimal provisions. UHT milk was provided for tea/coffee. Otherwise, I brought my own breakfast. There were lovely complimentary biscuits and chocolates, which were much appreciated.
Centrally located and very warm, cosy and comfortable accomodation. I would very much like to come back for a longer stay. A beautifully renovated space and small garden. Clean and tidy.

AustraliaNothing really, it was lovely.
Beautiful property, all the features you need, plus the heated floors which were magic! We'll be looking into that for our own renovations. This was a mid-trip stay so the washing machine and dryer were vital, the kitchen well-appointed and just a beautiful space to relax in.

AustraliaThe property was advertised as having private on-site parking. This is a little misleading as the only parking is beside the street in front of the building. On- site for every other property I have reserved through booking.com has meant within the property’s boundaries. I would not have chosen to stay here, had I understood that this was the situation
Beautifully presented with quality fittings and amenities

AustraliaOmg what an amazing discovery this little luxurious home away from home was. Beautifully presented with everything you could need. It was very clean with a beautiful little outdoor area to enjoy. Check-in was a breeze. It was a 5 star place to stay and would highly recommend. The Bunch of Grapes Hotel was within walking distance, and the food was fantastic. We would definitely stay again.

AustraliaAn extremely comfortable stay with a large separate kitchen/living area and a huge modern bathroom with a washer and dryer. The bed was very comfortable and warm and the floor was heated, which is great for Ballarat in winter! I would have liked a door to separate the living and bedrooms but it was a tiny problem compared to the rest of the place. It’s well located if you have a car but you need a car if costing Ballarat anyway.
