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.).

Hi, I'm still waiting for acknowledgement from Riverside Ocean Grove for the payment for the last night which wasn't used. I was told a 'complimentary 1 night stay' could be arranged. No return email so far.

Just water from shower and bath jet’s filthy The spa bath was lovely But After bath, I realised/saw how disgusting the jet’s must be Very filthy, due to the dirty foam Plus the shower door doesn’t close properly and I had to mop up water all the way into the kitchen with your towels
I loved the peace and quiet Was exactly what I needed I loved the cafe in walking distance ( I have very bad back and leg pain ) so I was very happy it wasn’t too far! Carmel was absolutely beautiful at front desk I love that you also give a little bottle of milk compliments that made me smile Nothing free anymore, so little things are big for me

The NBN/wifi did not work during the first 2 days of our stay, making booking restaurants and checking out local info very difficult. For some reasons our Optus mobile data run extremely slow in the motel, but seemed to work great in most parts of Ocean Grove.
Clean and modern with a good size kitchenette with all the essentials you need. Direct access to the pool from the patio which the kids enjoyed. Daily cleaning service which you don’t always find in motels.

It’s quite a hike into town (uphill) and to the beach so you’d need to drive there.
The room was a good size with a small outdoor area and view of the pool. It was well equipped and I had my own parking space. Everything was clean and comfortable.

Powerpoints were not available near the little dinner table to work, charge laptop and phone. Had to pull out the bed to find a PowerPoint that did not mean leaving items on the ground in the kitchen. The bedhead was not fixed to the bed just leaning against the wall, would suggest they look at fixing this.
The room was clean when I arrived. I was given a jug of fresh milk at reception for use in the room which was very handy. The area was nice and quiet and I was not bothered by any other guests. Good easy parking and close to the room.
