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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomCan not think of anything at all!
Location was central and easy to get to other places. The house was cosy, comfortable and clean. We are a family of 5 with an adult child, teenager and primary going child and they all loved our stay! We loved the hot tub - the water was nice and warm, ready for our arrival! Our host was very welcoming, warm and accommodating. He was readily available to assist us as needed. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Hobart - and will be recommending to any family or friends visiting Hobart too!

AustraliaBakers retreat is a must if you are visiting Hobart! The host was lovely , very informative on places to eat drink etc . Just little touches are the best , a computer to research places to go , a nice selection of fresh bread and sweets on arrival ( which was welcomed after a long journey ) The beds are extremely comfortable so anyone would be well rested of a morning ready to start the day ! Excellent location .. very quiet but also near all the localities , supermarkets and restaurants that are on offer . Bathrooms also exceptional very spacious what can I say . . If I am ever to visit Hobart again I would very much like to come back to bakers retreat ! Thankyou for a good stay

AustraliaThat we didn't stay longer or that it isn't my house haha.
Michael was fantastic, easy to deal with, communicative. The property was absolutely outstanding, fully equipped even with things you wouldn't think about on a holiday. Easy access to Hobart as well. Absolutely loved the property, as did my daughter (20 months) and partner. Honestly cannot rave about the property nor Michael (The host) enough.

AustraliaHonestly, I'm usually very fussy but this place was perfect!
From the very first conversation Michael was just lovely and friendly to deal with! The house is just beautiful, it leaves you wanting for nothing. In a nearly 100 year old house you'd think there would be some things needing maintenance but Michael has gone above and beyond to have the place in perfect order. He had even come in hours before and heated the house and hot tub ready for our arrival! All the rooms have their own unique modern furniture pieces with a nod to the past. The lounge is warm and inviting, the kitchen is in perfect condition with some pastries provided, milk, coffee, tea, etc. The hot tub, BBQ and outdoor area were just lovely and I can't recommend this house enough. Our family consists of 2 parents, 2 adult teenage children and a 9 year old. This house catered to each of us perfectly.

AustraliaA couple of minor things, the shower recess leaked a little, and the main bed mattress was a little sunken and a tad too soft for our liking.
So much to like. Cosy and comfortable, good location, well equipped, very clean and the welcome touches all added to the positive experience of our stay. The host's communication and responsiveness to questions was immediate and helpful.

United StatesEverything was great.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Baker's Retreat. It was so comfortable that the kids didn't want to leave each morning to explore southern Tasmania. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner and the BBQ area outside was perfect for our evening meals. We all enjoyed the jacuzzi at night before bed. The computer in the living room was helpful for googling places to go. The home is tastefully decorated and feels incredibly cozy. The property owner, Michael, was very helpful and welcoming. The home is just down the street from a fantastic French patisserie and Kmart/Coles are just a five minute ride down the road for picking up any necessities. All in all, this is a perfect place to make your home base in Hobart!

AustraliaAbsolutely amazing property! Travelled with 2 small children and Bakers Retreat had EVERYTHING we needed (the cubby house with a treasure chest with real treasures inside… such a hit for our 3 year old!) In all seriousness, whether a short or long stay this property has it all. The detail and the extras were amazing, plus as a bonus really comfortable beds and a hot spa!! Husband already talking about coming back and staying in same property.. that never happens! Really impressed, thank you.

New ZealandCannot fault anything about the property at all.
Excellent property. My family loved the stay at Baker's Retreat and a real haven it was. We were visiting from New Zealand and found the property just outstanding. Loved the spa pool and the childrens play area, the kids loved it. The lighting outside by the deck with the lovely table and chairs was just the cherry on top. The home inside is beautifully and tastefully furnished. Just loved this property. Shopping centre down the road, handy location to town and to the highway leading to the airport. The furnishings and fittings inside the house are just wonderful.
