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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaWe had been interested based on pictures of the large balconies with tree views but ours was smaller and had limited views. Maybe just check on booking if this is important.
Lovely, helpful staff. Peaceful place. Nice pool. Kept clean and tidy.

AustraliaOur room looked slightly dated, a slight refresh can certainly take it to the next level. The top windows in our room could do with blinds to keep the early morning light out for those who may want to sleep in a little. Also, the shower in our room was quite noisy, potentially plumbing issue - not a biggie but definitely worth looking into.
Tranquil, green and peaceful.

AustraliaThe noise from the neighbouring room (arguing) - out of owners control. This did dampen the feeling of being secluded. repairs and garden maintenance needed (back of property not front) to the areas that may have been damaged due to flooding or storms.
The ambiance and serenity of the location was lovely. the design of the bungalows made you feel secluded. loved breakfast on the balcony and at night with the moon light filtered through the tree canopy was truly beautiful. The on-site manager was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cooked perfectly.

AustraliaHubby and I one night to celebrate our anniversary and escape from our kids :) Gorgeous facilities. Felt like we were in Bali. Our room opened out into nature with huge doors. Manager offered us a beer to enjoy by the pool when we said we wished we brought some. We brought our bikes with us and when we wanted to go into town we parked our car down at the end of Skinners Shoot Rd next to the backpackers and rode into town and back from there, it worked well. The pool and deck chairs were great. Would recommend.

AustraliaThe only slight negative was that the rooms were slightly outdated, however they were clean and presented as expected in photos. Can't fault them here.
The service from TP was absolutely second to none. One of the best customer service experiences I've seen at a hotel in Australia in a long time

AustraliaCleanliness of room can be worked on as dust could be seen on things. As this is a 5 star rated place so expectations were high.
The view of the rooms were great! Not too far from the centre for eating spots. Pool area great as it offers a hot pool as well.

AustraliaThe only thing I would recommend is upgrading the tv, it would've been good to have access to something like netflix to watch movies! I also didn't realise we had to walk to our room, carrying luggage to our room was a bit of effort up & down stairs.
The whole location of the retreat is beautifully secluded, peaceful and close to nature. We really enjoyed the spa bath and getting massages. The rooms were perfect, bed & pillows were comfy and there was heaps of privacy. T.P was really accomodating and friendly, his customer service was exceptional :) Would definetely come back here again!

AustraliaThe complex is aging and there is evidence of rotten timber stairs and water damage to exterior doors. The rooms are very small and while there’s a spa in the room itself, it’s separated from the toilet. It is not easy to climb down into the spa and the shower over it splashes water into tiled areas which can’t drain.
The whole complex is situated at the end of a country road above Byron and the rooms are quite private from one another with outlook from the bed onto an old pine forest. The bed was very comfortable. There is a pool and heated spa next to reception

AustraliaThe beds were a little harder than what I'm used to, but it was a small thing in an otherwise great stay.
The location of Azabu is perfect. It's just outside Byron but only a short drive and you're in the middle of the city. Staying out in the bush and having the amazing views from the balcony was one of my highlights.
