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.).

We stayed at Elfin Hill hosted by the lovely Edwina and Damian in Feb 2024. This place has everything you need for the perfect fun-filled yet peaceful getaway in the stunning Wine Region. The property itself and vast grounds it boasts are fabulous but this place is made even more special by Edwina and Damian. They go the extra mile for guests and make you feel at home from the offset. The personal touches on top of the beautiful accomodation - like a wonderful breakfast option, the pizza oven, complimentary wine, amazing company - can’t be faulted! Thank you Edwina and Damian for taking us under your wing and being so kind during our stay, we won’t forget you or Elfin Hill!

AustraliaWould like the rooms a little darker ( impacted by walkway lighting). Perhaps some form of entry way curtain would help. Bed a little soft but I do normally sleep on a hard bed.

Edwina and her husband were fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and really well decorated. There were lovely little touches like a complimentary bottle of wine in our fridge on the first night and even some port in the pavilion if you wanted it! Breakfast was really tasty with the most amazing views as we ate. Would definitely visit again if we ever find ourselves in that neck of the woods again!

AustraliaExceptional. I loved everything about it. Edwina and Damian, the hosts, were so lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. Even Rosie, the cat, went out of her way to say hello. My room was perfect, a great size and the entire venue was so tranquil. The private verandah overlooking bushland made it seem as if you had the whole place to yourself. Edwinas' hot and continental breakfasts were delightful, and I felt as if I was staying with friends. I had a fractured back and was looking for a quiet place to get away and I just loved it. I found the venue was very accessible. Set on a hill, it's close to the wineries, Hunter Valley Gardens, lots of restaurants, and the markets, but far enough away, you feel like you are escaping from the everyday hustle. Verandahs everywhere make for nice spots to sit with a book or a glass of wine, and they have it set up for every scenario with a large common area with books, DVDs, games and a great communal kitchen. It's a great spot for a private function or celebration. Exceeded my expectations and I wish I'd booked a longer stay. I'll be back.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was an absolute delight. The quiet and serene atmosphere was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Moreover, the hotel's location is perfect, with numerous charming wineries nearby to explore. The owners were not only lovely but also went out of their way to recommend some fantastic places in the vicinity. Their kindness added a personal touch to the experience, making my stay even more memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to wonderful wineries and exceptional hospitality.

Elfin Hill, Marie and Mark should be your number one destination in Pokolbin. Welcoming and friendly the hosts are easy to talk to and very helpful in arranging everything from recommendations for wineries to the perfect breakfast! I’m a bit shy about giving too much away because it’s such a secret but I want to make sure you know how special Elfin Hill is.
