Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Parking is on the street, so a bit hit and miss with parking close to the house.
Great space, 1 bedroom with ensuite and lounge/kitchen area. Nice outdoor spot to sit with nice view over the adjacent park. Access to the pool/spa was nice on a hot afternoon ! Close to beaches and restaurants.

Parking on the street was a bit inconvenient, but not a big issue.
The unit had everything you need for an easy comfortable stay. Loved the well-stocked kitchen, books and games. Super comfy bed and lounge. The location was an easy walk to the beach, and the unit was on a quiet suburban street. Host Michael was very accommodating to our changing needs, nothing too troublesome for him.

There is on street parking but being a well occupied street we had to park away a bit further to get a spot.
Great communication from landlord, beautifully thought out set up with attention to details and making it “home away from home”.

That parking was hard to come by. Also the owners had dogs, which was not mentioned in the description. They were a bit noisy roaming around above us at night. Also some people do not like dogs.
Location was great and unit was nicely furnished.

The listing should advise there are dogs upstairs that bark a lot during the day, which did spoil the tranquility. I like dogs, but these ones made a lot of noise. - We only found out about the dogs once we got there. There are not enough power points to plug chargers etc in. In fact, if you want to charge your phone in the bedroom, you have to unplug one of the bed lamps which is annoying and difficult. Shower seemed to leak when used which was not great
easy to walk to beaches and restaurants nice owners

We loved everything about this Unit, all the little extras especially the hair dryer! As I forgot mine! Enough toilet roll, tissues, toiletries in the bathroom. The kitchen was kitted out with everything you could want. Informative notes about the area and maps. TV was good. Access to free streaming services, YouTube, iView, 7plus etc. You can sign into your own paid streaming services too, Netflix etc. Shower pressure was good with plenty of hot water. Michael and Kate are wonderful Hosts but are certainly not intrusive in any way. We travelled to Newcastle on the train from Nowra (South Coast NSW). For anyone else arriving by train, I'll give you a tip. The train ends at Newcastle Interchange you then get on the Light Rail train just outside the station. Get off at CIVIC. Begin your 15min walk moderately uphill from there. Use Google Maps.(Don't get off at Crown St.as the route via Brown Street is extremely steep!) Everywhere was very walkable from the Unit if you're moderately fit. Light Rail running across the North side was useful for a little rest. We had a lovely time in Newcastle and enjoyed coming back to our 'Home from Home' every evening.

The view was of housing flats not the ocean. it was smelly mouldy water damaged. Not private it's below the owners who have rules like your at your parents. It was untidy and very uncomfortable. The pool that was advertised was a hot swim spa that was slimy and smelly. We lasted 10 minutes
Nothing we didn't stay and want our money back

The owners came in the middle of the night for some reason they asked we pay them extra money to allow us to stay at their property even though we paid in full online
No not at all . The property didn’t have laundry. The owners were rude and disrespectful. They entered the house without permission and to give them privacy. They weren’t there, and we were trying to burn the house down because the stove was on.
