How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe layout was warm and inviting. I loved the private space of the room and the shared areas with fireplaces and comfy and cosy couches.
A few too many unnecessary rules that one would hope would be common sense and didn’t need to be said/written.
Most reputable establishments display guidelines built on common sense principals, and this can vary in peoples understandings these days, which has impacted other guests for lack of consideration in the past. Our guidelines are built around the Safety, Comfort and Security of ALL our guests. We make no apology for this, as very much appreciated by the vast majority of our guests.

Verified reviewI could not express how lovely and thoughtful this whole experience was from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Chris is the best host we have ever had, his meticulous attention to detail, warm and attentive nature made our stay truely memorable. This luxury stay is the perfect place to switch off and have a rest from the everyday. The heritage house is full of character and has a whimsical old charm. The breakfast is delicious, everything you need is available nothing is left spare. I would highly recommend this place for all ages and will definitely be returning!!

Verified reviewThis was such a charming guest house with beautiful gardens and lovely rooms. Our host, Chris, was so friendly and welcoming and really made us feel at home whilst giving us a lot of space and privacy. The lounge area by the fire was perfect for relaxing after hiking and exploring the area. Great location right near the main strip of shops and restaurants with a lot of wonderful bushwalks nearby as well. We can’t wait to come back!

Verified reviewKubba Roonga is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. A gorgeous heritage building with charming hosts who go out of their way to make you feel at home. The house itself is a treat as are the wonderful gardens. Located in beautiful Blackheath, just close enough to the main restaurants and shops to be convenient but also in a quiet leafy street close to bushwalks. A full continental breakfast is provided as well as nice little extras like a glass of port to have by the fire and chocalates in the room. Oh and don't miss the delicious scones and tea. The beds are super comfy and the spa bath is beautifl. We hope to visit again very soon

Verified reviewWe both really enjoyed our stay at Kubba Roonga Guesthouse- the guesthouse is a heritage building that was built in 1915 and it has a lot of lovely vintage furniture which makes you feel like you have been transported back in time. My husband and I haven't stayed in a guesthouse before- so this was a really lovely experience for us! You receive lovely and helpful service and we especially liked the communal sitting area. We also had one on of the spa rooms- which was very luxurious and we enjoyed the spa bath every night. The location is also really good as it's walking distance to Blackheath town centre- which has lots of lovely restaurants and cafes I would recommend Thai Silk and Altitude Deli. Chris (the host) was also very accommodating with breakfast and provided me with extra gluten free options (as I am coeliac). The Wifi works but it's not particularly strong and I actually found it was nice and good for my mental health to have a break from social media!!

A cheaper more direct option was available to you at the time of booking but you chose to book via this sales agent. We advertise a Free complimentary daily Continental Breakfast, which is what was provided, we do not advertise a cooked breakfast, but we did offer an additional free option from our daily specials menu.
