Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWas a little bit of noise from adjoining house during the day (but quiet at night). Parking was on the road outside the property. But it was a service road....so not too bad. May be a problem if you had a lot of luggage.
Cute little studio. Much better than a motel room. Very comfy bed. Ideal for my overnight stay. Great location. Supermarket on one corner, fuel on another and a short walk to Lake Wendouree and eating options. Also close to main shopping area and other shopping centres. Great price. Would stay again.

AustraliaSimple breakfast of toast and juice, maybe. Overall very happy
Lovely well presented property. Clean and comfortable, spacious with a lovely garden outdoor area. The host was communicative and accommodating. The unit is very well positioned with three hotels within walking distance, a very well stocked IGA 50M away and the number 26 bus goes past the front door. Short walk to Lake Wendouree which takes about an hour to walk around. We would stay again. Thank you to our hosts 😊

AustraliaI can't think of anything which I didn't like about this property.
The Studio was peaceful and quiet and looks out onto an amazing garden. Although it's near a busy road, we didn't hear much traffic or road noise. The studio is very comfortable for a couple and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed at the beginning and end of our travels to Hamilton. We would highly recommend this accommodation. Thanks to Joy for providing such a great place to rest.

AustraliaBathroom was a bit small with shower door hard to manage as a result. Room was only 900mm wide. Not much space for toiletries. Leaving the door open would allow more space to dry oneself with bumping into walls.
Lovely and private. Peaceful garden with table for meals. The room was large and well set out.
