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.).

AustraliaIf there is one area for improvement, it would be guest parking. In the evenings, with many visitors dining at Pescara, the parking fills up quickly, leaving guests struggling to find space. It would be good if the lodge could allocate dedicated guest parking to ensure convenience for those staying overnight.
We had a wonderful stay at Hermitage Lodge, and what stood out the most was the tranquility and calm it offers. The atmosphere is serene, very relaxing, and perfectly situated in a great area — ideal for unwinding and enjoying the surroundings. The rooms were impressively clean, well-maintained, and equipped with up-to-date utensils and amenities, making the stay very comfortable. On arrival, we were greeted with a warm and friendly reception, which set a welcoming tone right from the start.

AustraliaThe bathroom was a bit dated. Both the bathroom door and the shower door need a WD40 treatment. It would be great to have the light switches inside the bathroom, as parents we try not to wake the little one and switching on the lights then opening the door can be disruptive. On Saturday night someone was smoking during shower time, and given there is a passive vent in the window, we couldn't close it.
The room was clean and well renovated, it stayed warm throughout the stay without needing the air con. It was modern and well styled, the items such as glasses, milk, free water were a good touch. The fencing around the room patio area so our child couldn't get to the pond was a relief. The room was nice and quiet even though we were the closest room to the reception and restaurant.

Loving the interior, feels really cozy as you enter. I stayed at one of the lodge and it was so cute, the view overlooking the vineyard is stunning. I only booked for a night as I was in the area for a work event so didn’t get to enjoy more. Will definitely return next time!

Had an amazing stay at Hermitage Lodge with my 2 kids. peaceful surroundings, beautiful vineyard views, and exceptional service made it a truly relaxing getaway. Lodge was nice and clean. Closer to Valley Gardens and wine cellars.
