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 televisions are all mounted high on the walls which gave a bit of neck ache after a while. The mattresses are memory foam which aren’t my preferred choice.
The property is spacious and well equipped. There’s no parking on the property but that’s not an issue as the road has plenty of space and we were able to park right outside. It’s an easy walk to get to the tram for CBD, beach and shops. There’s a good choice of restaurants and bars at the marina and Glenelg. The host gave excellent instructions for getting into the property and responded very quickly to a couple of questions we had. If in the area again I would happily stay here again.

- would have benefited from instructions for heater (we couldn’t get it working) - a face washer for the bathroom would have been nice - blind in either the lounge room or front sun room would have made the kids feel safer at night. (They were worried someone might of been looking in at them. - blind in west side sun room didn’t quite cover all the window.
Location, comfy beds, was well stocked (tissues, toilet paper, hand soap, dishwashing liquid, kitchen facilities etc), good quality towels and bedlinen. Pin entry meant we didn’t need to worry about who had a key etc.

The property has NO on-site parking. The house caters for 6 people but only has 1 small bathroom. The modem needed to be reset often to access the internet.
Very nice clean property with plenty of room to move. It is in a great location close to restaurants on the Glenelg Pier and Jetty Road. Heating and cooling is ducted. Modern decor with classy upgrades.

- • Family with young children
- • Three-Bedroom House

The Feb weather was changable from daily 19 to 33 centigrade over the week. For sleeping this required a summer quilt with a blanket option and instead the quilt in the double room next to the bathroom was a winter one with a blanket option. This made it too hot for the usual 20-40 centigrade of summer. I think this is easily fixed.
It was a quiet location with no annoying traffic :) The house had the right mix of community space and separation for 3 adults. The outside laundry room helped manage noisey washing after trips to the beach!
