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.).

Smoke alarm going off at 5am wasn’t ideal.

Verified reviewThe set up of the property was good for separate groups or for a large group renting all the houses. It was quiet and close to the beach. Great to relax and enjoy the area.
No complaints about the property, it had everything you would expect for a holiday rental.

Verified reviewGreat location in a beautiful area. A cosy and comfortable cabin with beds to match, luxurious linens and a very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of hot water too.
Would have appreciated a map/list of handy locations like the supermarket. Also a hint on use of the stovetop (we Googled it) and a list of channels/services available on a TV whose format was unfamiliar to us all.

Could use some instructions on how to use the Cooktown, kettle and TV.

Verified reviewI loved that I could take my dog. The owner was really friendly and helpful. The place was simply beautiful with exposed ceiling beams and great attention to detail in every corner of the place. I could not recommend this place more highly!
The only downside was that I couldn't stay longer. I would have loved to have spent the entire week there. It is so close to the beach and the shops which are all within walking distance.

Verified reviewThis house is new and beautifully decorated which made our trip to Jervis Bay so enjoyable. The house has everything you need to sort out your food for the day and come back home and relax with a BBQ in the evening. Huskisson town is walking distance and all the best beaches in Jervis are just a short drive away. We really appreciated the cold beers in the fridge after arriving late in the evening!

Verified reviewGreat location, easy walk into town and the place was decorated by someone who had a great eye for detail and we had everything we needed. Wonderful place to relax.
Only fault was we needed some set of coffee cups because we are a bit old fashioned to use the glass ones
