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...).

AustraliaToorak Manor has an old worldly feel to it. Great location, right near Hawksburn Station. The room was clean, big and bathroom nice. Great price for the area, with off-street parking, that can get full. Breakfast was basic, and you have a fridge if you want to bring your own milk. Would highly recommend for those who don't want to be right in the CBD.

AustraliaNothing was not liked by either of us. The price reasonable. Being able to park was advantage.. Maybe a micro wave would be a plus but not essential…..
The property itself is like visiting a grande old aunt. Olde World, so spacious garden and parking available. This was a large family home in it’s time.. We had a very spacious room on the ground floor with pleasant outlook, though not fussy. The room decor was fitting for the charm it presented of the period. Large, v comfy bed with fresh linens. The ensuite was roomy, and good shower..Complimentary toiletries and tea / coffee and milk set up. Yana the Manager was delightful in every way possible to make our stay enjoyable. I’m so glad my husband found this site, we intend to stay again. My v early morning walks were a joy, as was the coffee from one of the many ‘Cafe’s’ on Malvern and Toorak Rds …. I noted train Station near our stay, if that’s what travellers require… 👌

Australiait was sad t see the maintenance on the house falling down. eg the extra cleaning needed to make it 'shine" picture frames needed a close clean, the bathroom grouting was dirty. However I understand there are no servants to do this work these days, and the family is running on low labour numbers. The friendly welcome and the house itself made up for all of these minor observations. I will return whenever I am in Melbourne.
loved the idea fothe old manor and its furnishings. Great value for money.
