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.).

AustraliaA very special opportunity to stay in heritage accommodation and location. The Boatcrew cottage was very roomy and comfortable. Thoughtful inclusions such as cooking oil and rice was appreciated. The museum on site was fantastic and the penguins nearby capped off a very special stay.

AustraliaWe loved it......if you don't appreciate the quirkiness of the age of the buildings you may not however, but it did not hinder our stay in any way, it just added to the charm and history of the place.
What can I say about this absolute treasure. Despite the cottages ages, they have been so well appointed. From the bathroom to the heating to the extemely comfortable bed. The cottage we stayed in was wonderful. The position is like no other right near the water with a lovely amount of space for extploring walking or even a game of footy if you had the whole family with you. There is the amazing coffee/cafe on the grounds, who make some of the best coffees I've tasted. Would thoroughly recommend, and absolutely wish we had of stayed longer.

AustraliaWe loved our stay in the cottage. Despite the high winds, it was warm and cosy inside. The bathroom was very spacious and the bed and linen first rate. Great walking in the area to the lighthouse and surrounding area. We didn’t get to the museum but will next time. I’m telling everybody to stay here in future.

AustraliaNo laundry- but we didnt need to wash at that stage of our trip.
The historic houses are in the most amazing position on the bay edge. Cozy and a range of properties to suit all sizes of booking. We had a one bed cottage. We had a few maintenance issues like lights and aerial , but these were fixed within 10 minutes of texting - so very good service ! Great cafe part of precincts. The beat thing was the frozen meals like scallop pies with 11 scallops, lasagne etc . Great coffee and light meals and produce from local including wines and Fork it Farm- yumm. The cottages have microwaves, ours didnt have oven. We were recommended wineries by Josh (?) and the great Penguin tour- very worthwhile even though we have seen lots.

AustraliaIt is a pity the onsite cafe/providore does not open on Tuesday or Wednesday. The bathroom of the Schoolhouse cottage is in serious need of a refresh. There was a bad sewerage smell for our 3 night stay. The entry door lock and door handle are a bit tricky, and need some maintenance. Some comfortable outdoor chairs would be a great addition to this cottage, for sundowner drinks!
The Low Head Pilot Station is unique accommodation in an absolutely gorgeous and peaceful location. The Old Schoolhouse cottage is right on the waters edge, and is cute and cosy. The beds were comfortable. The decor is a bit ‘shabby chic’. We would stay again, but would book the Lighthouse Keepers cottage for the superb views. The self check in/check out was super easy. Penguin viewing night tour just minutes away, and is a must do!

The lounge area was comfy and very spacious. We could have stayed here for DAYS!!! We did the Low Head Penguin Tour (separate from the property but right there! - FABULOUS!!!! Walking distance from the property to the lighthouse. An amazing experience! The onsite museum is really great too! a ton of info and exhibits of the history of the Low Head Pilots - what they were, how they came to be and the life of those who served.
