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.).

AustraliaToo many little signs, on the walls could be done more discreetly with a book of do and don’t. Spiral staircase
The fire place and abundance of wood, very private, reasonably appointed, warm and cosy.

AustraliaWe didn't realise that there were quite a few stairs to get up to the apartment. Bit tricky with a suitcase. No on-site parking, but the street was quiet enough to safely park on.
Great location. Quaint, cosy apartment. Perfect for 2 people for a couple of nights. Bed was comfy.

AustraliaEverything is perfect but there is one thing when the outside lights turn on suddenly at night, it could bother if you’re watching a movie, anyway you can avoid it a bit by closing the curtains.
The place is absolutely made by an artist, the different colours and decorations inside indicate a cozy, lovely and warm environment, with the fireplace and the spa in the cottage you need no more, facilities are clean and tidy, also there are many verandas where you can have a cuppa and enjoy the different views. The location is perfect where you can get to the shops in 3 mins by car, 10 mins will be the longest drive to enjoy any cool place at Nelson Bay.

AustraliaNothing! However the property is boutique and quaint- an experience with days gone by overtones. Better suited for mobility access. For me it suited perfectly.
Breakfast- not applicable; Location-superb access to beach front and walking links to a beach front pathway via steps or inclined road and also to the touristy shops and town centre for a relaxing getaway. Suited me well.

United KingdomI don’t have much to complain about, we were extremely happy with our stay. Some kitchen utensils weren’t great, but I’m not expecting anything amazing, and some of the drawers didn’t seem entirely clean.
Great location, a short walk from the centre of port Stephens and a 2-3 minute walk from a quiet beach. The property was very clean, very homely, spacious, had comfy furniture and bed, as well as a nice outdoor balcony area. They had a large bath and shower, soap provided, towels provided and plenty of cooking equipment in the kitchen.

AustraliaNothing to dislike. But some heavier curtains on the windows could help to keep the heat in more. Some updated brochures on what do to, best places to eat etc in the area would also be handy.
What a gorgeous little place. It is different so if you are after the stock standard hotel or regular house look elsewhere. This place is meant for switching off from the world and leave the car in the driveway. I still had phone reception so could check emails if I needed to. The fire place was divine. The hot showers great. The window to see the stars or the sunrise from the bedroom a bonus. Location was perfect, so close to Dutchmans beach to see the sunset was magnificent. Easy walking distance to the marina, town and restaurants. Cant wait to stay again.
