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...).

AustraliaUnique experience, we loved the quirky throwback vibes of the Queen Mary carriage. The decor and furnishings were comforting and very well thought out. Our young kids loved it, and were sad to leave! They loved seeing the cows and goats each day.

Portugalwe had a little problem with hot water, but Ash was quick in responding and helping us
Everything! Decoration, details, comfort, location, it’s so cool to sleep in a 100y old train and to top it all up Ash and her husband are the nicest people! We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 30y birthday and they were just amazing helping arrange a little surprise. If you want a unique stay in the Hunter Valley you have to stay here. I would definitely stay again!!

The train carriage was unique and so beautifully appointed with lots of lovely touches. Elegant design but faithful to the character of the train carriage. The location was wonderful, so quiet but close to the main attractions of the Hunter Valley. The host was wonderful too.

AustraliaEverything was great. Only feedback would be better security as locking the door was not easy and one exit door did not lock at all.
Beautifully resorted train carriage accommodation in the Queen Mary carriage. Better look and feel to it than other carriages that appeared more like standard hotels on the inside. Amazing communication with the owners, who arranged for a personalised card and complimentary bottle of bubbly for my friend who's 40th birthday was the reason for the trip. beds were very comfortable as well. Heating kept the carriage warm and comfortable considering it was very cold and stormy for the duration of our stay.

Australia-
Lots to say! Loved the uniqueness of the accommodation, it’s tastefully restored e decorated with the added touch and comforts of modern day luxe. Loved that the Queen Mary carriage had her “own” drive way and garden hedge outlook - such a lovely way to welcome you to the accommodation. A thoughtful way to communicate property owner’s expectations - the “Traveller’s Boarding Pass”. 🧡

United KingdomNothing not to like.
The accommodation was perfect - beautifully restored and decorated to a high standard. The location was very peaceful, with kangaroos and the bush for company. The hosts were really great and helped arrange a pick up and drop off for us as we came by train, as well as providing us with a lovely continental breakfast basket and all the essentials like tea, coffee pods and milk. I would thoroughly recommend this for a quiet and different break in the Hunter.

AustraliaWe had the most incredible experience staying at The Station in Pokolbin to celebrate my birthday—and it turned out to be even more special when my now fiancé proposed during our stay! From the moment we arrived, everything felt magical. We stayed in the ‘Queen Mary’ train carriage, and it was absolutely perfect—beautifully restored, full of character, and incredibly cozy. Every detail was thoughtful and unique, and waking up surrounded by the peaceful Hunter Valley countryside was nothing short of dreamy. The atmosphere was tranquil and romantic, making it the perfect setting for such a life-changing moment. The combination of history, charm, and nature created a backdrop we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable stay. Thank you to The Station for being a part of such a special chapter in our story. We’ll definitely be back—this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
