Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaTV was very small and hard to see properly from the bed. Lighting was quite dingy particularly in the bathroom. Our room was over the kitchen and it was a bit noisy due to ventilation system running all night.
Beautifully restored period hotel with lovely amenities. Very comfy room. We had a fabulous meal at Bistro Sociale as well.

United StatesWe stayed in room three, which is at the top of the stairs near the front desk and due to the old building. It was a little noisy with guests, passing by the creaky floors. Also, the doors are incredibly thin so every noise is loud. The neighs, unfortunately kept slamming their door every time they left, which would jolt us awake. I recommend requesting a ground floor room to avoid this as much as possible. The room was beautiful however there was only enough room for one suitcase and no under bed area to put another. It was an incredibly tight space with only about 2 foot walkway around the bed. The bathroom had a sliding door with no seal or actual closed ability. There’s always half an inch around the door open - so make sure you’re comfortable using the bathroom in a closed quarter with the bed area. The restaurant where we ate breakfast was incredibly cold in the mornings, but the staff were great at attending the fires, and trying to warm it up although being such a large space in the winter, it was challenging.
Gorgeous hotel with an Incredible setting and views to surround. The gardens are beautifully maintained even in winter. Beautiful furnishings around the hotel we loved the gin bar and whiskey bar, and how they had been finished decoratively. Great breakfast options- pretty much anything you can think of was available and everything was kept well stocked throughout the morning. It was pricey, but worth it. Friendly staff- all very attentive and welcoming, and also keen to solve any challenges we had. For example, the hairdryer we had was broken and they managed to source us a new one and deliver it to the room in less than 15 minutes. Excellent location for attending a wedding at the BENDOOLEY estate up the road.

AustraliaEverything was perfect.
The room was immaculate, the staff from front desk to restaurant were outstanding, and the hotel amenties were excellent. We stayed here 21 years ago and by chance, ended up in the same room! Last time it snowed, but this time only rain. But that didn't dampen our enthusiasm during the stay. It certainly won't be another 21 years until the next visit! We're planning another weekend this year. It's just THE best high-end venue in Bowral. The buildings charm and hidden nooks are simply charming.

This was our second stay at Berida Hotel- a place where we love to stay for a special treat. It has a luxurious ambience and lovely decor. We enjoyed sitting by the open fire sipping our pre dinner drinks. Our bedroom and bathroom were small but comfortable and practical. The staff are all professional and helpful.
