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.).

AustraliaLocated in a quiet area and very cosy. This place is even nicer than the picture and absolutely beautiful. The room is very cosy and as good as a 5 star hotel. Helen is an amazing host and her hospitality is amazing. She made me feel welcome throughout my stay. If I can rate this place 10 star, they will definitely get it.

AustriaI cannot imagine a better accommodation for our three weeks in Melbourne than in this apartment in Preston. It is ideally located, both for reaching it with the rental car from the airport as well as for going into Melbourne CBD by public transport. The room and the whole house are just great and offered everything we looked for. And Helen is such a wonderful and perfect host that I really have no words for it!

AustraliaEverything was perfect 🥰
Thank you, Helen and your family, for a wonderful stay. Your hospitality was exceptional! The unexpected breakfast items that you provided were a lovely surprise. And your husband's dumplings were sooooo good! The room was beautiful, comfortable, and very private, with the whole upstairs dedicated to guests. You were always available for a chat (when you weren't working so hard!), but also respected my privacy. 25min from the airport and close to train lines and other public transport. It was so lovely to stay in a warm, welcoming home, instead of a soulless hotel room. Thank you again and I look forward to staying with you again soon when I visit my daughter next. ❤️

ItalyBeing only 12 nights here and not more
House is huge and clean. Everything’s here: food, water, juices, snacks: Helen will let you feel like you’re home. I don’t recall a journey where I have spent so little amount of money, because when she’s around, she provides for everything: breakfast, lunch and dinner! Melbourne is great, but booking this room in this apartment will seriously question your coming back home. I have been here for the Australian Open and since I am Italian, it couldn’t go any greater. 🇮🇹 Thanks to my Chinese mum 🇨🇳. Hope to see you soon.

Australia... that we had to leave after 5 nights :)
Even if the breakfast was not included, Helen was fantastic and provided us with an ...Open Kitchen. And the fruit salad offered on our arrival and departure was very fresh and good choice! Helen is a very friendly host and answered very promptly to all our requests. The property is extremely clean.

This accommodation absolutely complies with the name. It's cosy and it's situated close enough to the airport and you can easily get to the city either by train or by tram. It was so kind of Helen to provide me a transport card, amazing welcome fruit salad and I really felt at home away from home. I definitely recommend this place to stay for exploring Melbourne and look forward to coming back!

Nice & clean place with comfortable bed. Helen is so nice to advise us how to commute to the city & attractions. This property is exactly how it described on Booking.Com & located in a quiet & safe area. Free parking on street is convenient. Plenty of nice restaurants are within 1 km radius. I would highly recommend Helen’s Comfort Private room and will definitely rebook next time coming to Melbourne.

AustraliaThere was someone else who was staying in a another room at the property, which surprised me, as I didn’t realise other rooms would be being used as well. However that did not affect my stay as I had a private bathroom and just had to time my use of the washing machine/dryer.
Helen was a lovely host who was welcoming, friendly and provided lots of advice regarding local public transport options. She provided full use of her enormous house and explained how to use appliances, provided breakfast foods and even made me dinner a couple of times, leaving it in the fridge!! The room and bed was very comfortable and had a private bathroom/toilet separate to the room which was excellent.
