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.).

AustraliaHard to see signs for entrance when driving
Yes it was a shed, but with all the home comforts. Al fresco area to watch the turbo chooks chase the pademelons. Laundry facilities much appreciated after six days hiking. Kitchen well equipped and extras in the pantry (herbs, oil, salt, pepper, rice, baking paper, cling wrap) a bonus. Excellent location. Although on the main road, well set back and quiet.

AustraliaIt would have been beneficial had there been an iron and ironing board available. Aside from this I was pleased with all other aspects.
I liked the room including the cooking facilities. The location of the accommodation was great. It was both handy to shops and set in a quiet picturesque area. It was also pleasing that laundry facilities were avaliable.

We loved the Shed! Such a comfy place to call home for a couple of days whilst visiting the Historical Site at Port Arthur which is literally in walking distance. We used the cosy fire and the cooking facilities which were great. Lots of games etc. We saw wallabees in the garden and Turbo Chucks crossed the garden too. Beds and sheets very good. Defo recommend.

AustraliaI did find locking the front sliding door when we went out sightseeing was hard to do so the lock may need replacing.
Such a cute little place, my favourite stay in Tassie so far. The wood fire was cozy and perfect while watching Netflix. Bed was comfy, there was a washer and dryer and a cute little verandah to relax on, great cooking facilities and the location was perfect being so close to everything.
