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...).

AustraliaTranquil, picturesque, cosy. The cottage for our long weekend away was perfect. Loved the wood fire, views and friendly farm animals. Close enough to Mudgee and Gulgong towns, but far enough away for peace and quiet. This was our second stay and we’ll be back again.

AustraliaCouldn't find any fire wood onsite for the fire pit, but a short drive to the servo had that sorted.
Stunning views across the pastures to watch to wildlife, birdlife, pasture herds and sun sets. We have stayed in all the different types of accommodation on offer during various visits to Owl Head Lodge and all are just gorgeous! So secluded and peaceful, yet just a 5-10 min drive has you right in the heart of the main street in Gulgong. For spot for star-gazing by the fire pit on moonless nights. Pack your telescope!

Best place I have stayed in the mudgee area. Lovely location, everything you could ever need inside. They seem to care that you enjoy your stay and the hospitality is amazing. Beds and linen so comfy. 10/10. My kids loved it too! Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Gulgong is a nice town as well and bigger than you might think.

Australia#1 as a driver one issue I had was finding the cut off road at night when arriving at the location limit visibility and no lights marking the entrance to the access road #2 Just a pet peeve nothing serious but I'm a huge coffee drinker and the Lack of supply's in the kitchen the sugar and coffee capsules and milk was very limited so for our next getaway I'll make sure to pack extras
We are a very new couple only in our first year of dating and this was the first trip we have ever done together The drive from Sydney was very scenic and beautiful how civilisation melts away Gf was amazed by the country setting she never experienced country living or being so far away from the city but she Loved the location felt like it was heaven in the middle of nowhere and the sunset was amazing she was blown away by the rustic country culture and how cute she found the shops Our son loved the tv & swimming pool he loved seeing the yaks & playing bored games and getting too be a kid again For us seeing him so happy and making friends with other kids and guests without a screen in his face was the highlight of the trip Me personally loved the place perfect for pictures in the morning and the local's was amazing definitely worth the money & definitely coming back

AustraliaNothing comes to mind. We were the only guests so the tranquility may have been lessened with guests in the other apartments.
Close to Gulgong but boasting a real ‘out of the way’ feel, Owl Head Lodge offers wonderful countryside views in a relaxed setting. Contactless check-in. Will definitely look to stay there again when in the region.

AustraliaOne of the BBQs didn't work (ignition switch broken) but there were two, so it didn't matter!
Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Amazingly peaceful, even with guests staying in the other apartments. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, meeting the resident goats, stargazing at night... The perfect base to explore Mudgee and Gulgong, and escape from the city for a few days. I would definitely stay here again!

AustraliaThe room was hot and stuffy when we arrived, and the windows cannot be opened. The air-conditioning eventually cooled it down, but it would have been a nice touch if it had already been running when we arrived. The bathroom dividing wall was only a partition, which means that smells and noises are not contained. This spoils the romantic atmosphere somewhat. Not enough power points in accessible positions. Finally, the outdoor furniture looks great but the chairs are all excruciatingly uncomfortable to sit on, which defeats the purpose.
Lovely quiet location only a few minutes' drive from Gulgong. Attractive buildings in a rural setting. The lockbox system for key access makes checking in and out very flexible and convenient. Very comfortable bed, I slept well. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and the kitchen well fitted out. The freezer actually froze things - very unusual in accommodation! The shower was first-rate, plenty of hot water and pressure, and no flooding the bathroom floor like some places I have stayed. Despite the glass walls it was very private and the blockout blinds and bathroom curtains do their job. We didn't test out the swimming pool but it looked inviting. The room was immaculately clean.
