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.).

AustraliaThere is no internet wifi although this is clear in the description so isn’t really a criticism.
Fresh baked scones on arrival and an amazing breakfast spread was laid on quite unexpectedly by our wonderful host. A lovely spot handy for services but also secluded and surrounded by koala habitat.

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing
From the moment we pulled into the drive, we were pleasantly amazed. Such beautiful gardens. The guesthouse was delightful. Just like home. The freshly baked scones were a real treat. So were the Easter eggs as we arrived on Easter Sunday. Everything was perfect. The smell was divine. The hosts were lovely. Everything you could imagine was there for the guests. It is a perfect place to stay along the Great Ocean Road.

GermanyThe kitchen is good for easy breakfast with tea and coffee and toasts, don't expect something else. Also I was sad to leave this fantastic location
Perfect location in the proximity of the sea and a little bit outside of the city. But: you can walk around this neighborhood and will see the Koalas in the trees! If you are lucky, they are awake and active. Also the smell of the Eukalyptus trees is amazing. Furthermore there are many kind of parrots and Kookaburras around. The room is nice and convinient, probably my best stay on my vacation. Space is even good for 4 persons, sharing the beds in two rooms.

IrelandWe stayed in Sea Change Guesthouse for one night while on The Great Ocean Road. The place was absolutely fabulous and the whole property couldn’t have been more perfect for us. The lovely host Robyn gave us a warm welcome upon arrival, making us aware of the excellent amenities in the apartment and told us about a short walk outside where we managed to spot a koala. Fresh scones and some complimentary snacks/drinks were a really nice touch. The apartment was extremely comfortable and clean. The luxurious bedding ensured a great nights sleep. I would have loved a longer stay there. I highly recommend this place to anyone planning on staying around Apollo Bay.

Lots of outdoor space to enjoy if weather permits. Wild koalas around, some can be pretty low in the tree. Even saw one in the backyard less than three feet away.

We got 2 bedrooms living room, bathroom and kitchenette for less than the price of a motel room. Lots of outdoor space too.
