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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Had to bring own firewood yet understand why. It meant a stop at woolies to buy and was heavy for me to carry.
The fireplace. Away from hustle n bustle - No traffic noise. Spacious to have friends over for lunch n dinner with ease to move around.

A few improvement suggestions: When sitting on the deck you look at the clothesline which needs replacing. It has bits hanging off it. Get rid of it. The timber shed needs a tidy. The garden needs some tlc as in weeding and regular mowing.
Breakfast n/a, bring your own. Location is excellent. Very clean and cosy, fantastic working fireplace.

The only thing I would say and it is minor is that there is a beautiful tree that hangs over the driveway which made it difficult to get the car in. You can still get the car off-street and it is a very quiet street so no problem to park out front. I feel bad saying anything as the tree is really very charming.
We absolutely loved our stay at Rodova Cottage. It is so charming and well kept. Spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. Lovely bed linen, very well appointed stylish kitchen, generous tea, coffee etc. So quiet and peaceful. Centrally located between Leura and Katoomba, a bit hilly to walk but an easy drive. Rodova Cottage is a lovely place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Blue Mountains.

Disappointed I couldn't use the washing machine due to the mould ingrained in the plastic rubber seal. The front garden could have been trimmed to make it easier to park in the narrow driveway.
Beautiful, comfortable cottage. Private and quiet. Very roomie for 4 people. Loved the efficient heating and all the small touches: welcome packet of Tim Tam's, pump soap, paper towel, alfoil, etc. Convenient location between Leura and Katoomba.

I would recommend supplying the electric mattress pad and but not putting it on the bed. I don't care for them as I find them uncomfortable. Fitted sheets should also be used. There is a reason they have the elastic corners. I would have liked to open more windows. We could only get 1 window in the kitchen open. None of these things would prevent me from staying here again.
This property was exceptionally clean. Coming from me, that's saying a lot. It is a beautifully restored/maintained cottage. The molding is stunning and the wood floors so beautifully finished. The kitchen had all the necessities to create a meal. The Timtams upon arrival were a bonus. A big, enclosed backyard was perfect for our little dog. There were 2 fans provided that really helped move air around when we first arrived.

There was no shelter at all around the house so we got absolutely drenched in wet weather at the front door. Expired milk in the fridge
Everything else was fine. More towels would of been helpful Extra hand towels and there were no face washers. No tissues also

I think the blinds would probably need an upgrade, the outside bins were fairly full when we arrived.
The property was clean and comfortable and very accommodating, I would give it a 4 star rating, had all the amenities.

The grass in the backyard needed a mow and could have done with a tidy up/clean up for pets. E.g. thorny vines hanging down from the hedges at eye level. Also a few staple pantry items need to be renewed. There was no salt and the pepper looked old.
Excellent location between Leura and Katoomba. Blissfully quiet. A wonderful working fireplace. Great kitchen/dining area with lots of space and light. An easy and safe place for your pet.
