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.).

GermanyThis place was calm,quiet and serene. We loved our hosts, they were warm and friendly, quick to check on us and help around. Our kid loved running around the open space, feeding birds.Lyn has maintained the place clean, thoughtful about keeping tiny little things handy which you could often forget or runout during a trip. They have a fully equipped kitchen, if you decide to cook. Overall, I would love to go back to a known place that makes me feel calm and relaxed. Thanks Lyn & Joe.

AustraliaMy stay here was absolutely perfect. Lyn and Joe were fantastic hosts! Despite our late arrival, they warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home. Their exceptional friendliness and attention to cleanliness were evident throughout our stay. The thoughtful touches like the fruit, snacks, and breakfast they provided added to the enjoyment of our experience. Although we were in town for an event and unable to explore the area, we are already planning to return. Can't wait to come back and explore more!

AustraliaI am not complaining, just providing feedback here: when booking for this place, I didn't know that the kitchen would be outside. I would've preferred it to be inside as we were a bit hesitant to go to the kitchen late night.
The place really exceeded our expectations. During our 3-night stay here, we visited Puffing Billy Railway, Emerald Lake Park, Burkes Lookout, SkyHigh Mount Dandenong, Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, Olinda Playspace, Sherbrooke Falls, and Alfred Nicolas Memorial Garden - all of these locations were well within a 30 min drive from where we were staying. Besides being on the perfect location, the property itself was so very well maintained, including the garden with various kinds of flowers, multiple sitting areas, there was a swing sofa as well in the garden. The place was really peaceful and quiet, all we heard throughout our stay were birds chirping, esp. the laughing Kookaburras which really amazed us. The rooms inside were also extremely well maintained and nicely decorated, there was a lot of attention to detail, everything that we needed was already there, in fact much more, there were even toys and books for kids! The bathrooms were squeaky clean, with the best products including soaps, shampoos, even make up kits! Who does that? :D The kitchen had everything we needed, and more. The fridge had all the ingredients for breakfast. There were different types of teabags to choose from. There were also large garbage bins neatly set on one side of the kitchen. The bedrooms had their own bins as well. We briefly met the host when checking in, and when we were leaving after three days, she was really friendly and hospitable, she guided us about a lot of things to do around Emerald. Also, she was readily available when we texted her 2 days into our stay and needed help with something. If I visit Emerald or its surroundings again, this is definitely going to be the place I'll stay in. Thank you to the wonderful hosts, you made our stay really comfortable and much more enjoyable!

AustraliaThe place was incredible, it was so comfy and well decorated. The staff were extremely warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast, we were provided with more than we expected. They went above and beyond to create such a beautiful, serene place for us to get away and enjoy some peace away from bustling towns. This place and the lake included, provide perfect places for cute photos and the sunset views over here lake and trees was marvellous

AustraliaStairs to the apartment made dragging suitcase difficult and the internet/TV was patchy in Emerald. Not any fault of the hosts. Probably not suitable for very young children or people with ambulant disabilities.
Warm and comfortable. Lovely garden setting and everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Roomy under cover area for entertaining and cooking and plenty of breakfast provisions. Only about 38 mins drive to Belgrave where we rode on Puffing Billy.

AustraliaThe bed was too firm for our tastes, we both woke up sore and stiff. I also have mobility issues, so getting up the two sets of stairs was a challenge (couldn't tell our room would be upstairs until check in instructions were sent).
Beautiful property, upper rooms have a lovely view and I was very appreciative of the beauty products stored (I forgot my makeup remover)
