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.).

AustraliaNone, perfect in all ways.
Beautiful decorated, cosy, stunning artwork, well equipped kitchen. Celebrated friend’s 70th birthday. The pinball machine was super fun and bought out the competitive spirit in all.

AustraliaI loathe pin ball machines! also the lack of parking space within the grounds of the property. The shower is showing signs of aging with slight mould showing around the floor to wall surfaces.
Location was excellent, I would have preferred to be able to park within the property, not out on the street but it is a quiet street so it didn't matter too much. I loved the old world charm and the historic sense that early Bowral people had lived there. I liked the fact that it was close to town yet not too close and that the heaters kept the place warm and we felt comfortable and dry as it was raining. We found a good cafe for lunch and the fact there was tea and coffee was appreciated when we arrived.

AustraliaThe location. It was a little out of town. But we had a car, so it didn't really matter.
It was a beautiful, well maintained home. Great set up and everything was clean. Dog friendly. And the board games were a bonus

AustraliaMy family and I were all super impressed at how clean, cosy and well-equipped The Gables was. It was much more spacious than I thought and I was a lil worried that the daybed in the sunroom might not be big enough to sleep my tall brother but it was a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Rob was a fabulous host. Responsive, quick and so so friendly, I felt so comfortable chatting to him about anything and everything. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Bowral.

AustraliaUnannounced lack of TV, absolutely no Wi-Fi signal or connection on only one offered channel. I have screenshots to prove it: 4 mobitels, different brands with different providers, but no internet connection in a house, even with WiFi details provided. City of Bowral does not work well with any other mobile provider but Telstra, so if you need TV or the internet to entertain youngsters, go elsewhere

AustraliaSome may not like the lack of a TV. We thought it was a bonus.
Beautiful old property featuring antiques and artworks. Excellent bathroom and luxurious beds. This property is like taking a step back in time. Those into nostalgia will love it. The fully working pinball machine is a bonus. Well located in a lovely part if Bowral.

AustraliaBoth large bedrooms (front of the house) had lovely windows, but unfortunately these could not be opened (painted shut?). That added to the rain and humidity of late, resulted in the rooms smelling musty. That can easily be fixed by a few dehumidifies placed in the closed-windows rooms.
House have great character. Loved that! The beds were very comfortable, bathroom big and the water had lots of pressure. Access to the property was very easy. The location was very convenient for our needs. We had a 50th birthday weekend so we did not stay in the house very much but enjoyed 1 relaxing afternoon playing board games and reading books. Rob, our host, was very nice and easy to reach. Everything was as per the photos.
