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...).

AustraliaPortland's water supply was disgusting and we couldn't drink it or make a cup of tea, but this was not the fault of our hosts but should be passed on to the council and water providers. At the function we attended, this seemed to be a common complaint from visitors to Portland.
The unit was easy to find not far from the main street. The breakfast was comprehensive and really appreciated as were the facilities, comfort and cleanliness.

AustraliaBathroom and shower floor were very slippery when wet, which may be due to floor cleaning chemicals and was a lot better on the second accommodation day. Batteries in TV remote turned TV on, but not enough to turn it off. Room was very dark at night and may be useful to have a 1 Watt LED night-light. Breakfast selection was OK for one morning, however lacked quantity for two mornings. Bathroom shower alcove allowed water to spray onto bathroom floor easily, so bath mat needed careful positioning to not become soaked. Pictures of property showed one photo with a microwave and one very similar without, which was frustrating re planning for food prior to arrival as the advertisement stated no microwave listed.
Easy to find. Great bed and shower. Some breakfast included. Plenty of power points. Facilities were good. Near to main shopping street. Private. Aldi, Coles and Woolworths all within three blocks. Multiple eateries nearby. Quite clean. Private entrance. Had a microwave even though not listed.

Beautifully presented room with spacious ensuite. Bed was extremely comfortable. Good quality bedding, everything immaculate. A good selection of breakfast provisions. Very quiet and private. Car spot right outside the door. Lovely host and great communication. Heater was put on in advance which was so nice.

AustraliaThe remote on the TV is awkward to use. Some further instruction would cut down on the frustration level and time taken to learn it's idiosyncracys.
Nicola had everything prepared and greeted us. The room is quite spacious as is the bathroom. Very modern. Comfortable bed. Despite being on a corner it was nice and quiet.

AustraliaNothing at all.
The accommodation at WhaleEscape Portland is exceptional, as are the hosts Nicky and Ian. Lovely people. Very clean which I am very particular on when staying away, very comfortable king size bed, ensuite and kitchen amenities in the room are also excellent, as is the off street parking. Quiet even though you are only one block from the main street for food and two blocks from the water. We would highly recommend WhaleEscape and will be back when we race at Portland again. See you soon! :)
