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...).

AustraliaUnfortunately our son found it almost impossible to sleep with the second bedroom being so light due to there being no window covering on the many windows.
The church has been beautifully renovated and had everything you would want/need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beds were great. The main bedroom dark and air-conditioned. The location is very quiet and central to the surrounding areas.

AustraliaThe king bed was a little firm and my daughters thought their room was a bit bright at night time for sleeping. However, I just think it is par for the course and I wouldn't like to see the original windows covered up. One review actually mentioned bringing an eye mask if you were light sensitive at night.
All the little extras provided by the host - quality towels & linen, toiletries and particularly the tea/ coffee, condiments etc. It had a very well appointed and equipped kitchen too.

AustraliaEven though there was Wi Fi, couldn't get the TV to log onto any APPs so that we could watch Netflix, Prime etc. (We had our own logins for the APPS.) Not really a dislike, just a ' would be nice'. As Ballarat gets so cold and with the ambiance of the church, a coonara fire would be have just topped it off and made the whole place perfect,
Fantastic ! Wonderful ! The church is located in a quiet area - no road noise. Large beautiful kitchen had everything - chopping boards, frypans, saucepans looked new, plenty of utensils, full size fridge, plenty of different coffee pods, large oven, plenty of bench space. Large bathroom with big shower, lots of good pressure hot water, great towels. Bedroom was very spacious with plenty of storage area. Stairs to mezzanine floor were well spaced & wide - easy to use. Living / dining had full sized dining table for 6 and 2 very comfy couches & a desk for computer use. Extras like the adult coloring books with pens & pencils, the basket full of throw blankets and the free swap of reading books was a lovely thought. Sometimes the lighting at these conversions can be a bit ordinary - not the case here. The lighting in all areas was really good including double light switches at the top & bottom of the stairs. Best B&B we have stayed at. Thanks Kylie.

AustraliaVery little. A downstairs WC would have been convenient.
Complimentary breakfast packets of cereal were available. We provided our own milk and fruit from local IGA supermarket which was only a few minutes away. While next door to the local Fire Station and suburban homes, it was quiet. Whoever was responsible for converting the former Church into a smart B&B should be congratulated. Possibly the best conversion since that of St Paul of Damascus! Good to have access to the Heritage Report which was in the B & B's library.

AustraliaThe only thing I could 'fault' is the pressure of the shower. However, it isn't something that would prevent me from coming back or reducing my rating. The shower itself is huge, and the dual shower heads are a bonus and handy when trying to quickly shower my little one!
I thought the photos/info upon booking was inticing, but walking through the doors of the church, I was honestly so impressed! The church was extremely clean, and the interior design was beautifully done throughout. SO much is provided for your stay in the kitchen & bathroom areas including those little things you may forget/not want to lug around with you like brekky items, cotton tips and, a full sized hair dryer! (not one of those little ones you'd get in a hotel). The beds were super comfy, and there is lots of space to place your belongings. As avid readers, my toddler and I loved the areas with books and can't wait to stay again to swap out some - what a fantastic idea!! Kylie provided clear and concise communication from the moment we booked, and instructions for check-in were very easy to follow. Had such a great little weekend, thank you. We will be back! :)
