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 reviewPerfect size for the family, I didn't read the check in instructions properly but the owner was so nice to talk to and explained where it was. The kitchen was just the right size, the house was nice and clean, I would love to come back and stay again!

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, so close to the beach and walking distance to the shops. The house is spacious and the bathrooms had plentiful supply of toiletries. The owners were prompt in checking in on us after the storm which left us with no power, wifi connection and hot water.
The property only allowed one vehicle parking. This wasn’t mentioned in the description, only in an email two/three days before our arrival. Even though there is street parking for a second vehicle, unrestricted street parking was a bit of a distance from the property, especially with luggage and shopping. The screen doors were not easy to open, and entering and exiting from the back was odd. The beds were too soft. However, that’s an individual preference.

Verified reviewThe location is great, a few meters from a nice part of Nelson Bay beach and about 15 minutes walk to the Marina abd the center of Nelson Bay. Tha unit had a dedicated parking which has been very convenient. The flat was well furnished, very clean and tidy. The kitchen exceeded the expectations of a rental property and was equipped like a personal house even with ample supply of tea, coffee, sugar etc in addition to plenty of cutlery abd other kitchen equipment. The owners are definitely very generous. I would go back to the same flat if I can.

Verified reviewPosition was awesome, so close to the little beach for the kids and easy stroll down to the town centre. The hosts were so kind to us. An item was left behind and they alerted us and posted it to us to return it!
Single beds would have been good as we travelled as a family and the kids didn't want to share beds, but we knew this was the configuration before our visit, choosing the property based on position and price.

Verified reviewNo complaints about the place, it was fine.
You enter from the back and there should be a railing on the back deck/patio area.
Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Verified reviewProperty is in a great location.
The apt is wrongly advertised… it is a 3bedroom not 4 bedroom. Mattresses aren’t great quality.
Thank you for your review. We had issues with the listing being listed as a 4 bedroom that was outside of our control. For this reason we notified all guest immediatley upon confirmation of the booking that it was a 3 bedroom. This has thankfully now been rectified. It is hard to get the comfort level that suits everyone when choosing a mattress unfortunately.
