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 reviewGreat location for accessing walks and beach, short drive to town. Unit was nicely presented and comfortable.
Lockbox code was incorrect on arrival so couldn’t access the unit until we received call back with correct code. Just a bit frustrating.

Verified reviewGreat central location. Very clean and well kept unit with plenty to occupy myself and my family during our stay. Two smart tvs was a great bonus for my family. Full useable kitchen and laundry facilities made our stay very practical and comfortable.

Verified reviewGreat area, nice little apartment. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great view.
Its our 3rd time staying here but it wasnt as clean & dust free as previous stays. We found a blob of hair in the second bedroom & the mould above the shower isnt a good look. I had to dust & clean the bedroom mirror. The driveway is a little problematic & the garage was almost not usable with lots of other peoples stuff in the way.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic- the height gave great view over Newcastle but also a 5 min walk to the King Edward park and the view points, Bogey hole etc. clean and comfy
The single beds were a bit less comfortable but ok. Thicker pillows in that room would be good as we were adults staying there.

Verified reviewGreat property with everything you could possibly need for a home from home stay.
The only thing I can suggest and the reason I gave a 9 instead if 10 is that the towels are rather tired and could do with renewing

Verified reviewconsidering we did not stay at the property as it was double booked. This was a terrible experience. We drove up from Canberra and lost time as we waited for a new location.
the property was doubled booked
The was a technical error which I at my own expense paid for your friends to stay at another accommodation only putting you out an hour staying in the same location. You didn't even attend as a guest so not sure how you have been put out or can make a comment on anything other than the booking in your name. This is a family run accommodation so your rating is false and hurts us as you have mislead other patrons on your rating about the provided facilities.
