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.).

Loved everything. Such a beautiful place to stay! Peaceful, comfortable and absolutely spotless! A lot of thought has been put into the design and comfort for guests and ensuring a relaxing and comfortable stay. The welcome when we arrived and attentiveness from Heather was beyond compare to other places we have stayed. The attention to detail was amazing and it's a place I would have no hesitation in going back to or recommending to others!

AustraliaI wasn't aware that the rooms were not properly separated, one room/bed is actually part of the common area (lounge/kitchen with dining table). Bedrooms are separated by a curtain (not a door) and the bathroom is in the other bedroom. We were only there for a night and were 3 people but I can see how that might be uncomfortable for some.
The place is super cute and cosy! It has so many details that makes it very comfortable and special. The beds are extremely comfy, I had such a good night sleep. It has everything you may need. Towels are excellent too! Rooms are spacious. The staff are super friendly and helpful :) I highly recommend!

Great quiet location just out of Daylesford. The Retreat is Surrounded by native bush that enhances how beautiful the buildings are. The inside of the retreat was cosy and had everything we needed. Heather and Ned are wonderful hosts - kind, caring and they were available to help if we needed them. The nibbles and bubbles on arrival were a wonderful and unexpected touch! Overall we had a great night away in a beautiful location and very comfortable beds!! We plan to be back with our friends in the future!!

We stayed at the retreat which have 2 separates rooms and we loved it. We loved the hot tub with aromatherapy diffuser and candles. The kitchen has microwave, toaster, air fryer, plates, glasses and utensils are clean. They provided game boards like chest, uno card, game of life and pickle balls for outdoor activities which we love as they keep the kids occupy.

AustraliaThat we only stayed for one night!
The property was beautiful and Heather and Ned were so welcoming and helpful from the moment we booked right up until we checked out! The Retreat was so cosy, the facilities all well kept and the gas heater and electric blankets kept us warm all night. The location was great, not far to Daylesford town centre or Hepburn Springs, and central to many activities and sights. We’ve already started planning our next stay with them and our families were so impressed by the photos that they’re planning a trip also!

AustraliaI loved everything, so you won't hear any complaints from me.
I honestly cannot begin to explain how incredibly accommodating Heather and Ned were during our stay. There was some confusion (on my end) with regards to the booking date and they went over and above to make sure we weren't homeless on the night. And over the next 24 hours went on to help us at every turn, including picking us up from town when we weren't able to get a taxi. The accommodation itself was breathtaking - we stayed in the barn and I cannot wait to get back there. such a unique space. Thank you so much for having us!
