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.).

AustraliaChecked in and the hotel restaurant was closed. We were given a list of other restaurants but I am sure the owners knew that all those restaurants were also closed. Would have saved a lot of wasted time if they just told us most places are closed on Mondays

AustraliaPity the window above spa is so high up - you have to sit fully up in the spa to take in the full view. Restaurant was closed, so no brekky in bed :( might have to come back for that experience!
Spa was everything we needed! Bed was super comfy, and robes were a nice touch for after the spa.

AustraliaA trivia issue: it would be good if they have a separate switch for the exhaust fan in the bathroom … every time you turn on the light, the fan is on the same time and it is very noisy especially going to toilet at night .. may be a night light in the bathroom?
The room was spacious and clean. Complimentary bottled water were provided. The view was beautiful.

AustraliaThe pool heater was broken so the water was freezing, but we were advised about this and still enjoyed the hot tub. The restaurant was also closed for refurbishments I think.

AustraliaThe big disappointment was that the restaurant was closed, but we were told that it would reopen soon. The room is pricey if you are just stopping overnight, as we were, and didn't use the available facilities.
Our corner room was large and airy with a pleasant view of the Macedon ranges. The ensuite was also spacious. There was also a large spa surrounded on two sides by windows and open to the rest of the room. The site itself is large with heated pool, spa, and an on-site masseuse.

AustraliaWith the restaurant closed at the moment, I expressed my concern there was no microwave in the room, this was instantly addressed and I had one to use. Being in our 70's the shower floor was very slippery for us and once again this was immediately addressed and the staff bought us non slip mats
The room, view and spa were excellent. We enjoyed visiting the nearby towns of Woodend and Macedon. We especially enjoyed going to our favourite place to see Hanging Rock again. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful
