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 reviewAbsolutely wonderful. What an idyllic setting for our stay in Freycinet. If you want views of Freycinet, Piermonts is for you. It has a variety of accommodation options, private beaches and amazing views. The people on reception are very welcoming, the rooms were well heated, and in-room pasta meal was delicious.

Verified reviewA beautiful part of the world and facilities to match. We were promised beach frontage and that is exactly where we found ourselves. The space was much bigger than it appeared in the photos. We were able to park our car reasonably close to our cottage, it should be noted that if you have accessibility issues you may need assistance with your luggage as not even ground. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Homestead, seafood focused, on one evening. We appreciated the ability to have an open fire and took advantage of this. The cottage afforded good privacy.
An old-fashioned one-page print out of vetted local places to eat or get supplies would have been of benefit, including approximate opening hours. We were caught short on the second night and ended up having to cook dinner ourselves. The breakfast supplies did not seem generous compared to what we have experienced at other locations. Two people for two mornings require a little more variety and amount of food when breakfast needs to be self-done. We had to go to Reception for more milk and tea supplies. The space was lovely but is starting to feel a little too 'rustic' around the edges. Just a little more attention to detail on regular maintenance/cleaning. Dinner was beautiful - it may have been where we were seated - but the space felt a little cold and lacking atmosphere and 'warmth'. One of us had our backs to the whole room and we do miss tablecloths...was the space too big for the number of people? That said the quality of the food was outstanding.
Dear Fiona, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We are really glad you enjoyed the beautiful location, the spacious and private cottage, the open fire, and your dinner at the Homestead. As your booking was made through a third party, we do ask guests to provide direct contact details so we can share more detailed information ahead of their stay. Some of this may have been missed, including that breakfast provisions are only included for one morning. We’re always happy to provide additional milk and tea from Reception, and we also have a small onsite pantry with extra items available for purchase. We take pride in offering a more personalised experience for our guests whenever we’re able to communicate directly, and this also ensures that important information, like our online compendium with local dining and supply details, is received in advance. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and will take it on board as we continue to improve the experience for all our guests. We do hope to welcome you back again soon!

Verified reviewOriginally booked a room with balcony and bathtub overlooking the water. Partner is sensitive to mould, unfortunately the bathroom shutters and grout had black mould. This was reported to staff and we were swiftly offered an alternative room (complimentary upgrade). Turned out better for us as we were able to cook and use the kitchen facilities in the upgraded room. Very grateful to the staff. We received a full loaf of bread, jams, granola and milk for our breakfast. I received a message prior check-in to advise there was a shortage of eggs. We celebrated my partner's bday and he received a lovely gift of Tasman Salt. Dinner at the Homestead was good
Black mould in the original bathroom

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately booking.com said we had a kitchenette but we didn’t get one and there was no food available. For a retreat we would expect the restaurant to be open all weekend. It would have been nice to get lunch or a coffee in the restaurant.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with us. We're sorry to hear there was some confusion around the kitchenette. The suites are equipped with a kitchenette space suitable for basic food preparation, though not a fully equipped kitchen. As part of your stay, breakfast provisions for your first morning would have been provided in your room, and our welcome email includes details about dining options. As mentioned there, the restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and bookings are essential on other days. We're sorry if any of this wasn’t clear ahead of time, we always want our guests to feel well-prepared and looked after. We really appreciate your feedback, and we’ll keep working to make each stay a positive experience for our guests. We do hope to welcome you back again for a more enjoyable stay. The Piermont Team

Verified reviewBeautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of activities to do onsite. Attentive and friendly staff who provided free room upgrade for our wedding anniversary. Room serviced each day.
The pillows were a bit too soft for my liking and there seemed to be a minor millipede problem in the bathroom.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us Eva, and happy anniversary again. We are pleased you enjoyed the free room upgrade. We do appreciate your feedback on the pillows, it helps us continue to improve our guest experience. As we are so close to nature, millipedes do occasionally make their way inside, they are completely harmless, and we do our best to actively manage their presence as best as we can.

Verified reviewStunning location & views, we were given a complimentary upgrade to a King Suite which was a lovely surprise & the bed was wonderfully large. Bathroom was magnificently luxurious, only thing I would have preferred was also having a hand held shower head instead of just a rainshower. The staff at both Reception and the Homestead restaurant were fab and the meal there had innovative touches that surprised & delighted.
