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.).

AustraliaI think for the price and staying over Easter it provided everything we needed as we were in the area for the Stawell Easter gift race.
We liked the old style pub hotel feel.

AustraliaI cannot thank the owner and staff for making my stay so comfortable and safe, I was staying on my own while my husband was in hospital and I was very anxious about being on my own. The food was amazing steak cooked to perfection and breakfast had so many choices included in my stay, the pancakes were so yummy and the coffee was just what I needed. The lounge was comfy and it was nice to sit and read over brekky.

AustraliaNo ensuite, but that was clear at the time of booking, so all good. No TV in room
Cute rooms. Basic and small, but clean and comfy. No TV and shared bathrooms, but there are several of them and they are renovated. Overall, a nice place, with good friendly service. The breakfast is included and is delicious! Good value for money!

AustraliaNo aircon in the bedrooms from memory, maybe a bit hot in summer?? Didn't bother us.
Its a pub! It did what it said on the box, clean and tidy rooms with 3 large shared bathrooms for the floor. We all loved the period charm and the friendly staff. I loved the free breakfast (choose what ever you want - I had the bid breakfast - Yum) - Dinner downstairs was also excellent.

AustraliaOne of the reason why I chose this place was because it offered what looked to be a great breakfast. Arrived only to find the breakfast started at 8:30 and as I was travelling for work this was too late.
Great location, very comfortable room & bed. Nice looking bar downstairs.

AustraliaNowhere to hang our clothes/towels in the room.
The overall appeal is funky. The breakfast was excellent. People may complain about the shared facilities but for the 2 minutes I spent in the toilet, and 5 in the bathroom, it was not an issue for us. The bedroom was comfy and after a big day, we slept well.
