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.).

AustraliaNo where to sit to watch tv and tv wasn't a smart tv. Not enough milk for the amount of tea coffee and sugar they provide. And bathroom didn't have a fan so had to have window open which made me feel a little uncomfortable when I was showering as I was afraid of setting off the smoke alarm with Steam and no lock on the bathroom door.
Pretty much everything only minor complaints

AustraliaRooms are very dated and could handle an update. Road noise is rather loud, especially on a Saturday night.
Neat and tidy. Plenty of parking. Close to Shellharbour. Good value.

Australiastaff could have been a bit more helpful when we had an extra kid for the room. When I rang the male staff had no response and just stayed silent on the phone. When I arrive and asked female staff member she was friendly but shut down any kind of assistance to help fit this child in on the floor.

Australiasee above no cups or jug to boil water that's all not interested -in middle class luxury items possibly foreign channels might be an option however that is an expense for you we usually watch ABC or Greek channels not Australian commercial ones extra info -- too tired to drive anywhere and could not find a greek restaurant too tired to follow navigation guidance
no hot water for basin in bathroom and no jug to boil water for coffee or paper or plastic cups these are first world issues and I dont travel in Australia one night to rest only too burnt out to drive anywhere we usually go to Greece-- however we only seek cleanliness not luxury but if someone needs to take medication and needs a cup to drink water to injest tablets there is no cup thanks Marcia Tsimboukis

AustraliaLimited facilities for food in room - tea and coffee only. I understand there was a restaurant on site and room service available but we did not want to do that and the lack of plates, cutlery etc made it difficult for us to do breakfast/food in the room.
Simple, clean, upstairs motel room. Bathroom showing its age but everything worked. Bed linen very clean and we slept well. Wifi worked.

AustraliaCaterpillar on the bed on arrival wasn’t the best … but then when we settled into the afternoon and had a shower before heading to dinner the shower leaked so badly my partner (fractured leg in a boot and a broken ankle) had to walk on broken ankle or would’ve slipped on tiles because of the water on the floor and foot swelled up after walking on it … cleaned up with all available towels etc and simply not good enough for the space of the bathroom (tiny). On closer inspection it just wasn’t clean … physical hair on the shampoo dispenser (not my partner’s … her hair was dyed day before and it was STUCK in the dispenser) … mould in parts of the tiling … very disappointing presentation for anything that could be booked. We paid over $200 for the room for one night … even a pub room at $100 would have been a more pleasant experience and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone…
Central to where we needed to be
