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 oven didn’t work well but better communication from us with the host would have solved this issue. Jo would have provided a portable catering oven if she knew we were struggling. You need to bring your own speakers for playing music.
Excellent space for a large group. Every room was spacious , comfortable and had an ensuite. The kitchen was well equipped with crockery and cutlery, more than enough for 20 people. Two dishwashers also meant we could keep on top of the dirty dishes. There were also enough tables and chairs so we could all sit down and eat together.

AustraliaSuperb excellence in wine country accommodation. The cottage was well appointed, comfortable and spacious. The outlook over vineyards and acres was a romantic feel. The bedrooms at either end of the cottage provided a sanctuary of privacy for our trip as couples. The complimentary extras in the cottage were noted and well utilised. We loved our stay. Highly recommended find.

AustraliaWe hosted a large family at the property for two nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the children absolutely loved the swimming pool and game room. A delightful surprise for our family visiting from the US was spotting kangaroos on the property. I would highly recommend this place and will most likely return in the future. The owner was very accommodating—when we mentioned a few missing items, she personally came to the property to address the concerns and ensured everything was taken care of. Many thanks Jo!!

AustraliaThe main fridge didn’t seem to be cooling our food and drinks for the first day but came good after the second day. Other than that, nothing at all!
Spacious, comfortable, well equipped. Perfect for a group of 30 to spread out and not be on top of each other. We loved the pool area and pool house. Lovely natural surrounds and sunset view from the property. We had a lovely time and would love to go back one day.

AustraliaIf I am being picky no check out time listed there was supposed to be insect repellent and their email asked if we wanted double bed and there were two singles but they did offer to move us. The mattresses were a bit springy but comfortable enough. It was not an issue overall we give 9 out of 10 for our stay. We were very happy and the complimentary wine was a nice touch.
