Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The host was in constant contact to update on what we needed to do upon arrival. He met us and gave us a rundown of how to get into town, the fireplace etc. he left us alone reiterating to phone him for anything during the stay. My husband and I loved that we could easily walk along the river into town.

AustraliaThe location in Bright was close to the centre and it had optional lovely access to the centre by walking on a track by the river into town. This easy access to walk to town via this track was a definite highlight of our stay. Beautiful well-cared gardens surrounded the Tudor-style villas. Heating was by a wood fire or by reverse cycle air conditioning in the lounge area and we found the wood fire worked very well in warming the place as we were there when it was -1 degree overnight. Access to a shared washing machine and dryer was also handy.

AustraliaAlistair provided great communication and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. With a late Autum stay we expected it to be cold, however the property had a good heater ideal for taking chill out of the air in the morning, and a woodburner which was nice for the fireside ambience and to warm the house at night (and it really pumped out some heat!). Only a short walk to the main street in town, convenient to get to and from places to eat and locations to meet up with fam who were also staying around town. There was supermarket close by which was good for the option to make food at accommodation. Good location to get to local walks and some further away (e.g. Mt Buffalo). Even went to a local game of football at the oval (when in Victoria...). Would definitely consider coming back to stay at the Merriment Cottages if we back in Bright in the future.

AustraliaThe floor is really cold so better to bring slippers with you or some thick socks at least. The electric heater didn't really warm the room and the fire place made it too hot. Hard to find the right temp. Everything else was pretty great.
Really cozy large 1 bedroom cottage. Can walk straight down to the river and walk into town in 10 to 15 minutes.

AustraliaTake extra towels if you have long hair. The jets worked in the spa bath but didn't stay on without keeping the button depressed. I'm not sure if we missed something. It would be nice to have a bigger comfier sofa for the colder weather.
The location is stunning and perfect. We stayed in Riverdeck, and the deck outside is beautiful, lovely to hear the river and the birds. The cottage is lovely with almost everything you need. Fire is glorious. Overall, you will be thrilled with your stay!!!

AustraliaDifficulty accessing our accommodation as my partner has limited mobility - driveway was gravel & a bit steep in places but the owner found us another parking spot that was more accessible & flat.
Lovely location, comfortable bed but a little limited with space & no where to put our luggage. Kitchen only had a two burner cooktop though we were advised of that on booking. Only one double power point in the kitchen.
