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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaThe wet cold weather but the accommodations were very nice to overcome that.
Well thought out accommodation. Very private settings and beautifully decorated rooms and gardens. Heating was very adequate for the cold wet weekend we were there. Breakfast included daily and the hosts were our friends by the time we left. A lovely cosy dining room/cellar door with a wood fire heater. Lots of Gilli and Marc artworks on display and for sale.

AustraliaNothing to complain about everything was done to a very high standard.
Stuart and Evelyn's heartfelt hospitality was truly exceptional. They welcomed us with such warmth and generosity that we felt immediately at home. Their freshly prepared, homemade breakfast was the perfect remedy after a day of indulgent wine tasting nourishing, comforting, and exactly what we needed. Plus as dog lovers we enjoyed meeting Mona and Geronimo.

AustraliaI just wish we could stay for a month!! 😉
The hosts are both so lovely. They have created a beautiful luxurious haven of artistic tranquility. In every sense… the gorgeous cellar door and restaurant and cottages set amongst the rolling vineyards, the gorgeous smells of both the bespoke candles and soaps, as well as the delicious food and wine, and the heavenly soft sheets and dreamily comfortable bed. I cannot recommend RDC highly enough!

AustraliaThere is nothing to dislike about the property but a swimming pool would be a great addition which I believe the owners are looking into.
It’s a small boutique property offering a quiet peaceful stay with fabulous hosts. On top of that a great atmosphere with excellent food.

AustraliaWhen selecting a place to stay I had seen the incredibly positive reviews that RDC had, but even they didn't prepare me for just how wonderful this place is. Evelyn and Stewart are fantastic hosts and it's clear that their passion is providing their guests with an outstanding experience on their beautiful property. The property itself is gorgeous - we went for a little walk around when we arrived and, as people who live close to the Sydney CBD, we were blown away by how quiet it was. The breakfast included was excellent, as was the wine from the property. We also loved getting to know Evelyn and Stewart a little during our stay. It was such a warm and welcoming experience and this really stood out compared to some of the other more sterile and impersonal places we've stayed in the Hunter. We can't wait to go back!
