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.).

AustraliaStaff was a little abrupt on check-in and also they weren't clear as to what they needed from us. Payment for the room wasn't discussed and no invoice and receipt (work travel) was provided.
Location was perfect, central to just about everything.

AustraliaLooking a bit tired, but that's probably the charm of the place. Carpets are warm, but I think I would prefer floorboards. I know there's no dust coming up from there and it's easier to see spills and dirty patches.
The stairs are a little steep, but I'm not at that age yet that I had trouble. I did like the balcony, very nice options for groups of people. It's a very tidy and safe location, I would be happy to stay here each time I come to Wallaroo. Nice and central location

AustraliaI loved it. It's old and they've retained that old look in a good way. We don't always need everything looking the same. It's like stepping back in time, but the good thing is you don't have to walk down a long passage to get to the shared bathroom. My room had a great ensuite bathroom. Excellent shower with great pressure. Fresh milk in a cute bottle for my coffee in morning. I'd stay again and probably will as I do the Wallaroo Markets once a month.

AustraliaUnfortunately the water supply to the shower was intermittently hot or cold, no amount of adjusting or patience solved this issue. Disappointed we could not have a good shower. Other than that issue the property was excellent. With the water issue solved, I would definitely stay at the property again.
We totally enjoyed the central location, we could walk to many, shops, eateries, pubs and the sea! The bed was totally comfortable, the most important factor.

AustraliaAs the couch was a fold-out it was very soft and low to the ground, making it very difficult for us to get up from as we both have knee troubles. Not the fault of the Lodge - but it was quite a tricky process. It was also annoying to have to plug in all of the bedside lights and electric blankets before we could use them, and it would have been better if these were in place before our arrival.
The facilities were exactly what we had booked, and would be perfect for a small family. Great big, clean bathroom. Almost everything you could need in the kitchen. Linen was fresh and clean.
