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...).

United StatesSomeway to advise us of the village events that shut down streets. We got stuck in the midst of the Stirling Fair and barely missed the Mount Barker event.
Location in the hills gave us a very comfortable experience with easy access to hiking, village activities, and relaxation. included breakfast had limited selections but enough to keep us well fed and ready to explore. The "turndown service" with a glass of port and handmade chocolate ended each day with a lovely note.

United KingdomThere was no option of an evening meal in the hotel unless you wanted fine dining - this was a problem when staying for several nights.
Exceptional staff - helpful, engaging and knowledgeable. Comfortable room and great breakfast. Charlie, the ‘resident’ koala, could be seen regularly.

AustraliaNothing. It was great
The grounds and venue are stunning and photos don’t do it justice, what I can’t capture was undoubtedly the best part of our stay at Mount Lofty was the people. Everyone from Christopher to the bar staff, waitstaff and housekeeping went out of their way to make us feel like family. The atmosphere is not like any typical stay, it is like coming home. We both loved being here and will be back. We warned, after visiting Mt Lofty House no other typical hotel will live up to here. 10/10!

AustraliaBut of noise on Saturday night from some kind of event on premises but it didn't go on too long or too late. Food in the restaurant was lovely but the place only has degustation menus and if you are vegetarian/vegan you only have one choice so either have to eat the same thing every night or eat elsewhere
spectacular views, very friendly and welcoming staff and the bed was super comfortable. The room was a decent size and plenty of other communal spaces available for sitting and reading a book etc if you don't want to sit in your room
