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 reviewSet high in the hills, surrounded by trees. An eclectic idle, well place for walks and the town. A great place to visit in the spring, autumn and Summer. Very very comfortable, a home from home.
A little cold on arrival, though plenty of heaters so warmed up fairly quickly.
We're so happy you enjoyed your stay- it is a lovely property set among the native bush in Hepburn, perfect place for a getaway! The team at Daylesford Country Retreats looks forward to welcoming you back.

Verified reviewThe location was beautiful and the scenery was amazing. The driveway was rather narrow and steep, but I was able to navigate it easily enough. The house was very cute and the furnishings were lovely. Great range of amenities available. The coffee machine was a great bonus
There was no way to shut the bedroom door properly, other than a little hook that still didn't allow the door to shut the whole way. Also no heater for the main bedroom. The bed, while it fit in with the décor was rather noisy, especially for a light sleeper.
So pleased you had a great stay at Viola. Thank you for bringing those few things to our attention, they will be dealt with immediately. The coffee machine is a bonus and the bush location. We hope to have you stay again in the near future.

Verified reviewThe location is amazing! Really loved how quiet it was. The place felt safe and there is plenty of garden space and parking. The fireplace was nice too. Everything was clean. The gardens were amazing because there was so much space and sitting on the deck was really lovely in the sun. We loved that we could bring our pet to this property too! All in all we had a good stay but there were just some things we wished were a bit better but otherwise it was good!
We had a good stay but there were definitely things that we wished could be improved such as the following. The heating could only go up to 23 degrees on the remote but we were pretty cold at some stages during our stay. The gravel road turning into the property really needs some repair as both our cars struggled to get through the big ditch. The beds could have been more comfortable and this was definitely something we wished was better about the property. It was hard to have a good night of rest for any of us. They need bigger and sharper knives for cooking. Value for money wise, if those things were addressed we would've given it 5 stars!
Thanks for your detailed review Sally we will pass on the feedback on to the owners of the property and see what needs to be actioned, thanks again.
