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.).

The outdoor setting could do with an upgrade & clean (wonky chairs filled with bird poo wasn't too inviting). The lounge room could do with a couple of extra comfy chairs for large groups
Location perfect, easy checkin and out, breakfast provisions & kitchen facilities were superb

Some of mattresses were a little soft and springy for us adults used to a much firmer sleep. Some may need replacing with latex style mattress better suited for short term stays. - Large outdoor table and chairs - shame the chairs were full of bird droppings - would suggest buying a cover to the keep table and chairs clean. - A larger SmartTV would be great - Very comfy lounge, perfect for watching the AFL and NRL finals - however it is a little old and (very red) leather. Both recliners didn't work. Maybe a new L shaped lounge would better for the space and everyone would have a seat too.
Sourdough bread and home made butter was awesome, thank you. Milk, juice and oats plentiful. Just some lovely country bacon would have been awesome. Large house with plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. Fully equipped kitchen including a proper coffee machine with beans was very much appreciated for us caffeine addicts. Towels and linen were great and soap, shampoo etc helpful to include too. Beautiful old roses out the front and a large outdoor, fully fenced and private space out the back.

The food items they provided were incredible - the bread and the smoked butter were stunning! The house itself was really cosy, yet we didn't feel like we were on top of one another. Location in the heart of the Clare Valley was also a massive plus, along with being attached to one of the best restaurants in the state.

Bathroom ensuite door doesn't close and door is very difficult to maneuver when going in and out. Couldn't find a hairdryer in either bathroom.
Electronic check in. Breakfast was beautiful , home made bread, yoghurt, condiments, fresh produce, locally churned butter. Coffee machine. Nothing was too much for the venue, excellent location, Watervale Pub is hotel is amazing! Do yourself a favour and eat there. Staff were wonderful and food next level. Renovations are beautiful. Also washing machine and dryer which is great for longer stays.

We had difficulty using the cooktop. Being Winter we found the tiles very cold. Some warm rugs on the tiles would make it cosier.
The beds were very comfortable. We loved the close proximity to the Watervale hotel.
