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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaThere was no salt or sugar. I think someone had stolen it. There is nothing to complain about honestly.
I loved the charm, its not new but its homely. Comfortable and place to really escape the monotony of suburban life. It was one of the best escapes I have had around the world. The fridge was stocked for breakfast cooking, the place was clean. The bed was soft. The spa was an extra special awesome touch. The View was so incredible I slept with the curtains up.

AustraliaThere was absolutely nothing that i didn't like :)
I booked Bonza View BnB whilst sitting in an expensive hotel room in the city. I have been struggling mentally & just wanted somewhere special. The city was not for me. As i booked, I requested an earlier check in time which with speedy response, i recieved. Finding it was a tad tricky, but so are all hidden gems. It was down the end of a narrow road (like most roads in the Dandenongs). My husband & I entered our room (#1) & to our surprise, it was breathtaking. Bright happy rooms with an incredible view, & serene music playing. We ran around like children excited to see what the place had to offer. Kitchen was nice with microwave and stove top, plunger coffee was supplied - Heck yes!!! & then we looked in the fridge and to our surprise, the owners really understand the meaning of breakfast included! We were stoked! Fresh bacon, eggs, bread, butter, milk and more! But wait!! There were Tim Tams!!!! TIM TAMS!!!!! Coffee & Tim tams slammers with a view! I actually felt spoilt! I look at my husband, & i haven't seen him smile like that in a little while! The amenities were easy to use, clear instructions for spa - which was pre heated!! The room was older fashioned with a cozy & warm feel. Lunch was a very short walk to a magnificent cafe on the corner. We ordered a pizza for dinner from one of the brochures the owners had left out which was very helpful. Late at night, we finally had a spa, & we were very happy with the hot temperature & with how quiet the jets were! We could enjoy the quiet intimate setting without feeling like noisy neighbours! We then relaxed on the comfy lounge & watched some tv. We really enjoyed all of the little things! The bed was comfortable, the hand soap & body wash was lovely, there was a drop toilet that was incredibly clean & had no offensive smells (unlike the unclean city toilet that splashes back lol). We had an incredible time & felt happier than ever.

AustraliaWasn’t really much to dislike, I thought the kitchen area would be slightly bigger and I thought there would have been an oven. The blinds were a little noisy and a bit outdated but those are just little things if I had to choose.
The property was tucked away and had an amazing view of Melbourne city. It was just surrounded by Forrest. Literally the best view. We loved the hot tub too! and that you could change the lighting of the hot tub whatever the mood for watching sunset. The cockatoos would also visit us each day, so that was also really nice to see them and just enjoy being around wildlife Aswell as taking in the view.

AustraliaBooked this property last minute and whilst it looked decent in the photos, I wasn’t expecting much. The property was so much better than I could have anticipated!! The photos don’t do justice. The outdoor spa is a beautiful leather and was so warm when we arrived. Although we spent most of our time in there enjoying the view; the dining, lounge and kitchen area is very spacious, as were both bedrooms and there are stunning paintings throughout. Small details and inclusions to the home like napkins or cork boards in noticeable places, lots of additional lamps/ lighting were noticed and appreciated. The property is well maintained and it’s obvious the owners really care for it and how their guests experience their stay. You know a property is clean, especially in a rental, when the carpets aren’t brand new but they’re still cream! Ww will definitely be returning!
