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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaLoved the general ambience and quirky decor. Great that there were a few different seating spots on balconies and a courtyard. The spa was a great plus especially as the weather was less than optimum (though we don't hold Lynne responsible) :)

AustraliaUnfortunately there was an electrical blackout in the street which we were not notified of in advance so when we woke in the morning there was no power for the day. Not sure if the property owner was advised of this in advance, typically if works are occurring residents are notified, however this may not have been the case in this instant.
The property was clean, well presented and comfortable. There were plenty of windows which we could open to take advantage of the lovely sea breeze. It was centrally located, close to a path that meanders around the headland into Nelson Bay.

AustraliaThe TV reception was terrible, could do with having Foxtel, the lighter to light the Fire was out of Gas, and the paper to light the fire was not good for lighting a fire.
good size Spa bath, open Fire was lovely, Bed was Comfortable, and the property was Clean, and we liked the position close to everything.

AustraliaEvery piece of cutlery in the kitchen was dirty upon arrival. It was ironic as there was a sign on the fridge saying, if you leave any utensils out uncleaned, we will charge you $50. The air conditioner also made a loud banging noise every 20 minutes which made it impossible to sleep.

AustraliaArriving to a freezing cold apartment, having to go out in the rain to source firewood as there was not enough supply inside to initially start the fire. Arrived around 7pm in pouring rain to no lighting to find apartment, very slippery and large step not visible in the dark, solar lighting not working. Air-conditioning instructions weren't clear, so we froze for the first night. Followed instructions, it was stated that unit was already set on heating and to just turn it on, in which we did to only have cold air blowing all night. Outdoor BBQ area light didn't work, bedroom light didn't work, stereo didn't work, once heating worked it rattled and clunked every time it cut in. Could hear guests/chair movements from above unit.

AustraliaCinderella slipper is not the best for more advanced aged people. staircase is narrow and very twisty. either of the two lower apartments would be more suitable. Building has recently been damaged by rain and storms which gave it a musty smell. Air conditioner needs a good clean as there is mould on the flap which is evident when switched on. Not exactly what we were expecting from the description.
beautiful area, not far from Dutchies Beach. a nice walk to the Marina for either a morning walk and breakfast, or lunch.

AustraliaThe property was clean but uncomfortable because of the heat, the air con is old and insufficient on hot days. We didn't sleep well because we were just so hot. For the price of the one night stay, you would expect to be cool on a hot day with appropriate fans/air con.
The owner had excellent communication, thank you.

AustraliaWe pulled up and it said Wisteria Cottage, not the listing name. the interior was clean but the decor was confusing-a mix of 80s, Chabby- chic, bachelor pad and old Aunt Edna’s. The lounge and outdoor furniture was very uncomfortable. we were there on a windy night and the doors to balcony banged in the wind, even with all the locks secured. There was no clear checkout process so we just left the key on the coffee table with the door unlocked.
The location was great. Not too far from beach, nature trail, shops, restaurants. The bathroom was roomy, with good water pressure. The bed and pillows were obviously newer and made for a good sleep. Having the Balcony was a great feature.
