Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

The cabin was a great size and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. The grounds of the complex are wrote really well maintained. Our cabin was very quiet so sleeping wasn’t a problem. We have booked again!

AustraliaNothing really!
Even though the property is of an older external style, it is well maintained and on spacious grounds, opposite a large park area adjoining the Barwon River. The apartment was spacious, pleasantly decorated and updated, with many thoughtful touches. It is excellent value for money, especially well-suited for self-catering.

AustraliaPerhaps a little more milk provided for the tea/coffee - not really enough for 6 people to have before we did our grocery shop for the stay.
The accommodation was clean and well-equipped. The room was spacious and comfortable for our family of 6. There were lovely recreational facilities nearby.

It's like having your own home on a well-kept park with a swimming pool and kids playground. The people running it are lovely and have been very accommodating. The apartment had everything I needed, was clean, and the wifi was excellent. Air conditioning in all main rooms is a bonus.

SingaporeThe heater was not working, and unfortunately, we only discovered this issue when the reception was closed, so we were unable to seek help. While this is not a significant concern, I reckon that if the front desk staff had been available, they would have assisted in resolving the matter.
I had an amazing stay at Barwon Valley Lodge! The beautiful location, surrounded by nature, provided a serene escape. The abundance of child-related activities and sports amenities kept everyone entertained. The atmosphere was incredibly calm and quiet, offering a perfect retreat. The easy accessibility, coupled with the friendly staff, made the experience seamless. The room was not only comfortable but also well-equipped with fantastic amenities. Overall, a delightful stay that exceeded expectations. Highly recommend this gem!

Our second stay, super value, getting a house rather than an apartment in such a quiet location, yet handy for the city. The kitchen was so well equipped with a full size gas cooker that we were even able to cook a Sunday roast for 4 of us. Ideal for short or longer stays.

Really great value, spacious accommodation, more like a house than a lodge, with everything you need included for a short or longer stay. The location is perfect, close to the main road, yet quiet and feeling more like the countryside than actually in a city. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, we will be returning soon.
