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 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):
- 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.).

The cooking arrangements were a dead loss. It took us two nights to work out how to operate the bench top stove. The reverse cycle aircon took some mastering; we ended up relying on the little oil heater.
Location in Lyndoch was great. It’s a nice little town and the locals were friendly. I enjoyed a walk to the shops. The washing machine at the cottage was a huge bonus. The check-in arrangements worked well. Plenty of hot water.

Kettle dirty/full of scale Aircon thermostat seemed inaccurate Shower - great water pressure. But sprayed onto floor/door even when careful. Did not realise shower/bath combo. Personally would not have such strongly scented air fresheners and diffusers. Was overwhelming and could be an issue for any guests with allergies or asthma
Proximity to attractions was good

Cottages are not that soundproof so can hear occasional trucks passing through Main road and when neighbours are talking loudly outside.
Small cottage but well equipped enough and quite comfortable. A couple of great wineries very close by and not that far from main town of Tanunda.

The sofa in the lounge was too soft which made it uncomfortable to sit in and hard to get out. Other than that there was nothing that we didn’t like.
The location was very good. It was an easy walk to restaurants and near lots of other towns. The cottage was very quiet and had everything you need. The caretaker of the property was very friendly and helpful.

Driveway, very steep and hard to get down. Hanging Lights hang to low and can hit head on them. Need to be careful with fan as low
Cosy, good facilities, caretakers went above and beyond to help out, good location, I liked the added extras, Tim Tam's, noodles, oats, coffee, salt n pepper, cds, dvd and cd player, slow combustion burner, etc

The cottage was ideal. Comfortable, spacious enough with a generally well equipped kitchen. Good water pressure in the shower and efficient (though somewhat loud!) aircon. Good location for exploring the Barossa Valley, walkig distance to shops, pub, etc.

It's a lovely and comfortable cottage in Lydoch, a perfect location for exploring the Barossa Valley and close to the town center for shopping and restaurants. Kitchen had all the basics and there is a lovely fire for autumn and winter visits. The staff on site very helpful and nice.

Excellent location with everything close to hand. Lovely and quiet setting, though not if you don't like the dawn chorus! Would happily stay here again when visiting Lyndoch. No wifi at the property meant we could just relax and unwind.
