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 house was lovely and the amount of seating places available in the garden meant you could sit in sun or shade quite easily. Upon arrival the bread for breakfast the following morning was baking, a wonderful smell! All the other items for a breakfast were provided with an amazing array of cereals and choice of milks in the fridge. The bed was really comfortable and the linens chosen by the owner added to the sleeping experience.

Best B&B I have ever had! It started with a very friendly welcoming from the host in his pre-arrival communication and when we arrived we were amazed by the sense of service and warm attentions. For the rest, we had all the comfort and facilities we needed, information and entertainment about the Flinders Ranges park. The breakfast was gorgeous. Definitely recommended for your next stay in the park!

We were extremely happy with our accommodation. Anything u could think of was supplied. The fresh bread on arrival was a treat. If u r a dog lover then the owner will introduce u to his two beautiful dogs. Handy location to be picked up for a tour and an easy drive to Wilpenna Air field for a scenic flight

There was nothing to comment on here.
Nigel goes above and beyond to provide his guests with many extras. The array of breakfast food on offer was phenomenal. The smell of fresh bread being baked for us, as we first entered the house was very welcoming. Nigel has a wide variety of local information available to satisfy the needs of every guest! The backyard was ablaze with morning sun, a fantastic space to enjoy breakfast before heading out for the day's activities. The bed linen is top quality as are the beds and choice of pillows.

Parking place was a little tight for a big 4WD, but thankful for undercover carpark.
Everything was supplied bread, butter, vegemite, jam, honey, various cereals, bacon, eggs, juice for breakfast. Beds were comfy, everything was very clean, Bathroom was modern, separate laundry with washer and dryer and even a Dyson to tidy up. A home away from home with the aroma of Bread baking when we arrived. Thanks Nigel for making our stay very memorable and hope to see you in the near future when we stay again.

Not applicable.
Hawker is a tranquil town with a number of places to see and visit, both in the town and further out of town. The Old Gahn restaurant, local pub and Flinders Fine Foods cafe were excellent and a few good places to walk the dog (although the dog park could be a tad larger with more effort taken to remove thorny weeds). The house and yard at the B&B were excellent for children and pets. Everyone we encountered in the town was really friendly.
