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.).

Australia-
We loved the location - waking up in the mornings to see kangaroos outside was pretty exceptional. The lodges are well set out - whilst it was quite quiet when we are there, there is plenty of space between the lodges so I would imagine the feeling of getting away from it all would still be the case , even with more guests. Our lodge was so clean, not easy in a rural setting - and there was a sense of staying in a home , rather than a benign hotel room. The owners were super accommodating- there was a small problem with the pool, but they went out of their way to make it work for our stay. Really couldn’t fault this place !

AustraliaBathroom was yet to be refurbished in our cottage but was still super clean, a great size and incredibly functional
All of the cottages are well spaced out for privacy from other guests. The interior has been refurbished and loved the furniture/decor choices. The fireplace was awesome and the complimentary cheese platter on arrival was greatly appreciated. There are some great wineries within walking distance and Bimbadgen is super close to either head up for a nice meal or go to their downstairs woodfire pizza bar to eat or get takeaway. We find having things like that close by in the Hunter is great so everyone can enjoy the wine and no one has to be the designated driver

AustraliaAll good!
Very cozy, the place had an aircon so we didn't need to rely on the fireplace to keep us warm Loved the welcome note and communication with the owners. The place is very close to a number of fantastic wineries, has a firepit and a pool onsite and I'd love to come back one day!

AustraliaVery good facilities with all required amenities available within; excellent location in the heart of the wine making region of Hunter Valley; close to some of the best restaurants; very friendly owner who is available all the time and is very helpful. Large estate with Kangaroos roaming around in the morning was a beautiful sight to wake up to.
Everything about the place.

AustraliaToiletries smelt like mens aftershave - I’d recommend bringing your own.
I couldn’t fault the property. There is everything you need for a comfortable, home-style stay in the heart of the Hunter. I adored the wrap around balcony with hammock, the fireplace, comfy bed and the large smart tv. Above all else, the kitchen was impressively stocked with all the plates, glasses and pots and pans you need to be self sufficient and able to cook at home. Guy and Sandra are wonderful hosts and have created a place I’ll certainly return to!

AustraliaWhen we left that place, they called and said, “we have taken bed sheets and blamed on putting water on Ice cubes container which caused broken”(Which was not true). Making a false statement and charging extra money is a side business of this people. Please take pictures of everything before you leave. Otherwise, you will get a call for taking things to charge extra.

AustraliaWe had a wedding and hoped to get some rustic photos as the bride was getting ready but found the rooms small, the house in need of some updating, barely any room to hang a wedding dress or any other clothes. There was one little mirror behind the bathroom door which was not enough for a place where most guests would be attending weddings. Very disappointed with this house as we were expecting a more spacious area from the photos on the website. Very expensive for the condition of the house.
Location was great.

AustraliaWhen I arrived the owner/manager came out to greet me but never said hello his first words were "check in isn't until 2pm" which was extremely rude and aggressive and no greeting was used. I had said I was wanting to place a birthday cake in the fridge as we will be going out and if there was a bathroom to use at all as we had been travelling via car. He repeated to myself check in isn't until later. I reiterated to him multiple times I knew this and that we were just there to drop off a cake and use the bathroom. He then replied that I could use the bathroom at the restaurant I choose for lunch or somewhere else which was completely rude and so dismissive. After a few moments someone came out to tell him yes the room was available - conveniently - and that I can use the bathroom and place the cake in the room. Very rude staff to patrons staying and I never suggested I wanted an earlier check in I just wanted to drop off my cake to a fridge. The bedding also was a little bit below standard. Sheets probably needed a freshen up but otherwise the towels were nice and it was a nice stay
Very neat and tidy area. The whole place had everything you need and could think of at the location. Very quiet and peaceful
