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.).

This was our fourth visit to Waverley House Cottages and we always enjoy the bush setting and relaxing time we have here. The cottages are very comfortable and have everything you need for an enjoyable time away from home. We love being waken up by the Kookaburras and our yearly visit from Barney. Thank you for another lovely 4 night get away.

Only one fan provided for a 2 rooms cottage.There never was anyone at the Reception. You gotta make a call to discuss anything.
Fantastic location.Very peaceful and in the middle of woods while only a 5 mins drive from the City centre. The cottage was very well equipped with laundry and dishwasher inside the cottage. We all loved our stay.

Great Cottage very quiet
We loved our stay at the Waverley House Cottages, very clean, spacious, quiet, comfortable bed and just a short drive into town. Nice to have some space rather than just a hotel room to rest up and relax after travelling for 5 weeks. I would highly recommend this property.

Nothing really, but perhaps hand wash and towel in the kitchen. Other than that it was perfect.
The place was very relaxing and quiet in lovely surroundings. The cottage, no 5 was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there, and would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful place to stay.

It’s more than a day’s drive from my home town!
The cottage was perfect: everything new or recently renovated, cosy and spacious, large well stocked kitchen, large bathroom and even a wood stove (which we didn’t need).

The location on the outskirts of Lakes Entrance in the bush was magical. Peaceful, pretty and 5 minutes to a supermarket. The kids loved the hot tub, and the spa bath in our room and their electric blankets. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of seating in the living area for a family.

It was all very nice. We just thought it a little odd we never had any contact from the owners . Not at check in or at any time before we left. It didn't feel particularly welcoming for the type of property it was.
Very nice cottage. Well appointed, roomy and clean. The cottages are beautifully situated amongst native gardens and are very private. They are located just a short drive from Lakes Entrance so very convenient but nicely detached from the busyness of the township.
