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 reviewThe beautiful location in the country overlooking the river, peaceful and quiet.
The single beds were terribly uncomfortable and really took the shine off an otherwise perfect weekend. We had adults sleeping in them - perhaps kids wouldn’t notice?
Hi Kristin, So pleased you enjoyed your stay and the serenity of the cottages. Apologies the single beds didn’t suit, I’ve not had negative feedback before but will look into this, we always want your stay to be comfortable! Cheers Kate

Verified reviewVery quiet at night, very nice view and convenient location to the town. The cabins themselves are very nice.
After the floods, all national parks are closed, and I was told by Parks staff that they will be for months. A bit of heads up would have been nice as there wasn't really anything to do.

Verified reviewLoved the peace and tranquility. Loved the big sun lit deck. Loved swimming in the river, seeing platypus swimming in the river. The cows were so cute and inquisitive. The bed was very very comfortable. The lounge was lovely, the internet was better than expected for being a bit isolated. The kitchen amenities were fantastic especially the coffee machine and dishwasher.
It was 4km from town which wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t raining and if we had a car. There was a fair bit of mould in the shower and around the kitchen sink, not the owners problem just a note for the cleaning lady.
Many thanks for this wonderful review Rachel. So pleased you enjoyed your time at Barrington Hideaway and it was pleasure having you stay with us. Appreciate you drawing our attention to the cleaning issue and we will make sure it's attended to. This constant rain doesn't help! Regards, Sue

Verified reviewSuch a beautiful location. Very peaceful. Loved hearing the water flowing down the river, hearing and seeing the birds, and sitting on the verandah that has gorgeous native trees and shrubs all around. The beds were comfortable and the location is only a few kms out of Gloucester.

Verified reviewI feel that this review is not a true reflection of our property. I have questioned the guest on the issues they had and where they feel improvement is needed but I have had no reply. We have always had a high rating for cleanliness (9.7) and being onsite owners/managers any maintenance issues can be usually be fixed straight away.
