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.).

AustraliaWould have liked some shelving or drawers in the wardrobe as you can’t really unpack for a longer stay when there are only a few clothes hangers provided.
Beautiful view! The provided map with walks in the area was very helpful.

AustraliaIt had the bare minimum for a comfortable stay, nothing more, nothing less. Given the location I feel it has potential to be a really special place to stay. Some updated furniture and thoughtful touches would make the place feel a lot more homey and welcoming (and worth the price). I will also advise future guests to byo pillow if you prefer a low-medium height as the pillows provided were very high and gave me a sore neck.
Great location with beautiful ocean views.

NetherlandsThere was no WiFi in the room/on the park. The big tv blocks the view and was, in our opinion, unnecessary.
The location and view were amazing! We also loved the privacy of the villa and all the wildlife around. We saw a couple of walibis around the villa at dusk and dawn and two big koalas in the tree tops!

AustraliaThe lock on the front door was a little unsafe because my 3year old was able to open the door at any given time from the inside. It would have been great to have a hook latch up high just for extra safety. The dining table was very sticky and even after I gave it a clean it was still sticky and there were dead flies everywhere, otherwise it was a great place to stay.
The view was exceptional, location was amazing. The unit was in bushland with awesome views of the beach.

AustraliaStayed in Krambruk. Needs a thorough vacuum. Dead bugs behind the couches and the light fixture in the bathroom had cobwebs/leaves in it. Fan in toilet extremely dusty. The soap holder in the shower is also broken. Probably just need super glueing. Maybe provide washing machine liquid if you have those facilities as people won’t think to take it themselves.
Amazing views, very homely and just a great location.

AustraliaIt was a bit disappointing that there was no wifi, although we understood it was a limitation of Telstra’s service. The GuestAssist wouldn’t work either which was frustrating.
Loved the location! Even though it was a bit of a drive from the beach, we had a lovely view of it from the balcony. We also had a friendly kookaburra come visit us each day which was a delight! Natasha was also very helpful.

FranceThe booking was more or less contactless, and I only spoke to the manager to ask if I could park my car elsewhere on the property, which was ok. The car parking spot in front of our unit was difficult to back into as there were wooden logs on each side to indicate the beginning and end of the adjacent units. After that parking was no problem.
The view was great from the top looking down onto the water and all the vegetation, as the property was higher up off the main road. Also the fact that there was an upmarket restaurant a few metres beneath the Beaconpoint Ocean Villas was appreciated by us.

AustraliaSofa uncomfortable and too low. Not all light globes working. Resort roads still a nightmare . Hope you can soon afford to fix them.
We've stayed in a 2 bed before (Otway). This time at the one bed, stand alone, Sheoak just one night. Great view, and as I'm not currently good at walking, this was a good choice. Easy contactless free check in. Kitchen utensils a bit lacking. Bed good. Koala sleeping on a gum tree on the way in.

AustraliaI really wanted to love this place more given its just such a beautiful spot and the cabin is certainly comfortable, however there were a few things which I feel could have been better. Even though it's totally self contained, It would have been nice to have a few pantry staples such as cooking oil and paper towel. Washing detergent would have also been good along with some pegs. Also for a stay longer than 3 days a fresh change of towels mid week and a toilet paper top up would have been appreciated. I'm also glad we were a family and not two couples as the two bedroom cabin is not suitable for this.
Lovely and quiet. Amazing views, very calm and peaceful. Booking was super easy.

AustraliaWild koala just outside the back window!! This is 10 minutes out of Apollo Bay, but the kitchen lets you prepare breakfast to save money. Beautifully quiet. The view is wonderful! Make sure you have a quiet drink in the back courtyard around sunset to make the most of the view, before heading to the restaurant in Apollo Bay for dinner.

United KingdomDecorations are a little tired and the cleaning was not great, dust on some surfaces and there was a smell of smoke from the wood burner. There was wood, firefighters and matches by the wood burner so we lit it on the first night (cold evening), the next day all the wood was taken away and ‘do not use’ message posted on the front, all without any explanation.
Fabulous location over looking the ocean and koalas in the trees. Quiet and with easy access to Apollo Beach and the Great Ocean Road
