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...).

AustraliaThe photos don't do the loft sufficient justice. It's bigger than it looks, so that's a plus. But the house photo is not of our accommodation. Knives poor but we carry our own.
Everything was good. Peaceful, well furnished self catering loft with views over Bass Strait. Chilled out over Xmas with all our food and booze. Breakfast provided and lots of coffee pods. Air con/ fans etc, though the Southerly kept the unit cool.

Everything about this place is great. Cosy loft had everything you need for a nice and peaceful getaway. Fireplace, great views, llamas and the stillness of nature were the highlights for us. It’s a really good sign when at the end of your stay, you don’t want to go back to the busy city. Thank you, Heather and Glen, you’re wonderful hosts and we’ll be back.

AustraliaThe washing machine isn’t in the apartment as the listing makes you think, it is in the owners house so you just need to liaise with her to get washing done. Was easy to arrange and she was very accommodating though.
Lovely little apartment, excellent view, very comfortable, generous breakfast provisions supplied.

AustraliaThis is a very minor thing, the ocean view was a little far away but was very beautiful never the less and you could in fact see the ocean for sure from a distance and feel sea breeze too.
Heather greeted us on arrival and showed us around the property that we stayed at to get us started with the facilities and the room.

Excellent accommodation, very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Great balcony with views of the rolling countryside to the ocean. Alpacas, wallabies, rabbits and many different birds added to the spectacle. Was within walking distance of the Grand Prix track (just, for us).

AustraliaA very comfortable well appointed first floor apartment. Quiet nights with views of lights along the coastline from balcony and sounds of surf at nearby Smiths Beach. Abundance of birdlife including harriers hunting on dunes, ducks,geese and friendly domestic chickens. With a good variety of breakfast items we started the days at our own pace and finished with a dusk stroll across the paddocks to sit and watch wildlife at the dam before returning to the cosy warm apartment to cook dinner. A very enjoyable stay.

The accommodation was beautiful. A home away from home with a well equipped kitchen and beautifully appointed. The view was spectacular. The homemade bread was such a lovely touch. The sunrise every morning through the window, lighting the open fire and opening the folding doors to the deck, soaking in the bath overlooking the sea were perfect! We loved every minute! Thank you to hosts Heather and Graham.
