Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaVery steep steps to clothes line with very little room to move. Lots of steps. The toilet was very tightly pushed between the shower and the vanity.
Lovely and clean. The bed was super comfortable. Loved the outdoor areas. Great views and very peaceful and only minutes to town. Looked forward to our daily visits from Cliff the cat.

AustraliaIt was all amazing!
In a beautiful set location on top of a hill, this modern clean and comfortable attached bungalow/mini house was the best! The owners super lovely and helpful, quiet location but close to everything. Mind you I had a hire car for easy transport. Thanks for the bird life as well. The kookaburras had a party! Loved staying here! Thanks Anne and Peter ✨🙏

AustraliaNothing!
This little apartment is absolutely pristine. I’m fussy when it comes to cleanliness of accomodation, and I had no fear here. Beautiful location and so well styled. Bed was the highlight of our whole trip! Loved ordering Thai takeaway for dinner and feeling the tranquility. Not to mention our lovely hosts! Anne and Peter were so delightful and helpful, it felt right at home to be living underneath them. If I ever come back to Wollongong, this is where I am staying, and suggesting it to everyone!!!

AustraliaThe fan in the bathroom sounded like a plane was about to take off and there was no dryer which in this type of stay would’ve been great.
From its great location which allowed us to see the NY Eve Fireworks to its spacious size it was a great getaway. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.

AustraliaNo clothes dryer. Probably needed due to high humidity - after 3 days of hanging clothes inside the apartment they were still damp.
Incredible view, plenty of room for 2, kitchen well equipped, bed comfy, washing machine and detergent provided, friendly hosts, gorgeous accomodation. Umbrella provided which we definitely needed! Wardrobe with hangers for unpacking clothes.

United KingdomThe apartment was quite dark with little natural light or ventilation and it was hard to regulate the temperature, particularly overnight when the aircan was switched off. A sieve in the kitchen would have been useful. Car is an absolute essential.
Quiet location on a hill overlooking the town. Apartment had everything needed for a short stay, including many cooking essentials making it easy to self-cater. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Our hosts lived on site and made us feel very welcome.

United KingdomThe flight of 21 steps, mostly wooden and without handrails, were a worrying slip hazard after and during the rain.
The name 'Tranquil Garden Apartment ' says it all. A lovely peaceful haven on the edge of a busy town.

AustraliaIt is 33 steps up to the apartment. They are a mix of wooden and uneven sandstone flagging and no handrail. We were warned it was about 20. However we think that it should be pointed out that access is difficult for the elderly and for anyone who is not surefooted or who is in any way unsteady on their feet.
Very comfortable. Charming furnishings. Very thoughtful provisions.

United KingdomIt’s on top of a hill (clue in the address!) so can be a bit of a walk from loop bus and city/beach if you don’t have a car and especially when it’s hot - but Wollongong has a very good taxi and Uber service if needed.
Immaculately fitted out, tranquil location, excellent hosts - a high quality stay

Both the studio and apartment are located under/to one side of a residential house. It's a lovely location and only a short distance to town. It's newly renovated to a high standard, and the rooms are fabulous. Easy self Check in with lockbox. Gorgeous bedding, and pretty much everything you could think you might need. Starter breakfast was provided, along with tea/coffee etc. Well set up kitchenette with cook top. The hosts are lovely and would highly recommend a stay here.

EstoniaBe aware that you will not be alone in the house as there is an apartment next door (connected with a closed door) and locals living upstairs - the noise can be a lot sometimes especially when trying to sleep in the daytime. Although the instructions on how to use the airconditioner were clear, it still didn't work sometimes and it can me quite cold inside. Would recommend putting the TV channels in order as they were mixed up with radio channels and it was hard to navigate :-)
Located in a spetacular place, on the top of the hill surround by trees and exotic birds. The apartment in really spacious with lots of walking room. The piano was a lovely surprise and it's a shame that I'm not a pianist. The huge windows really let the light in and lets enjoy the place completely. There were essentials in the bathroom included. Welcoming snacks are always a sign of a top place and there was a variety. You have all the things you need to make there a homemade meal. The hostess was lovely and helpful.

AustraliaLocation as I did not have my car. Bus too far away. I am 76 so this might have suited a younger person. Steps to access were a challenge after a long day. My brother said he would have trouble getting up there with luggage.
