Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

We couldn't find any insect spray when we sighted a large cockroach inside. There were used coffee pods among the new ones. Television reception was really bad especially during heavy rain. Maybe a new plastic sheet on the table would be nice.
We liked the fact that everything we needed in a home was there - plenty of kitchenware, pillows and so on. We liked the layout so that our grandsons had their own spaces. It felt homely and cared for.

More warning needs to be given about the $500 deposit that has to be transferred in order to collect the keys. This should be noted BEFORE booking for the hotel. We have stayed in many hotels in port stephens and yes, $100-$150 deposit is reasonable. A $500 deposit we only knew about on the day of arrival was shocking to us, and put a massive hole in our budget for our family holiday. For this reason I would never use this booking agency again. After searching our emails we noticed One email, 3 days out of our holiday, with an attachment and very small fine print did explain the $500 deposit. This is not sufficient. It was hard to come across, not in the main body of the email, and with little notice. Even if we did see this email it would of been difficult to budget for. We had this booking for weeks and much more notice could have been given. The $500 was returned (as a regular deposit would) 10days later. We have had previous hotel deposits returned within 2-3days.
The size and layout is great. The kitchen is versatile and a peaceful location. Beautiful townhouse.

Cleaning really was not up to scratch with old sweet papers under bedside table. The stair carpet was really dirty. In the family bathroom was very grotty between shower screen and vanity. Matress cover on 1st bedroom was stained and really grubby. Dishwasher filter was full of cheese and corn. some dirty dishes in cupboards. No batteries in upstairs controls for tv and dvd player. More attention to detail would be the answer to someone having a great time at this property.
The position of the Townhouse in regards to the shops was excellent. It was really roomy. Loved the verandah in the late afternoon - excellent for relaxing with nibbles and a glass of wine. Easy parking for car.

It had a really strong smell that was too much. It was a disinfectant smell that was throughout the whole house and even the pillows and beds when we slept. House could have been a little cleaner as we found rubbish throughout and floors were dirty. Needs a little upgrade to furniture as beds and lounge upstairs were not comfortable. For the price I think you would expect a little more
