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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThe entrance road is quite narrow and steep but this is described thoroughly in the listing. I had no trouble accessing the property with a small rental car despite my hesitation.
A great location; short drive to Hobart, in nature, wonderful hosts and VERY comfortable dorm room with personal space between guests and cozy beds!

AustraliaWhile we were familiar with composting toilets, it could feel strange to people not familiar with them. Water is a precious resource in the area.
This is a very different kind of accommodation and is quite a way from New Norfolk and does require you to travel over gravel roads. We used it as a base to visit the Mt Field National Park and it was a reasonable drive each morning. That said, it is a very peaceful place and the wallabies are around from just on dusk. While there are some walks around the property, the land is very steep, so would only suit very fit walkers (no one with bad knees, backs etc.). You need to be entirely self sufficient for catering. There is a free laundry on-site, which is a bonus.

Gorgeous location up in the hills amongst the bush and away from everything. The camp kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities were fabulous. Free washing machines. Camp kitchen really well stocked with everything you need.

AustraliaIt’s very nice that they send an notice of direction of property and check-in information before I get there. Facilities are really good. There is spacious shower room and sufficient kitchenware in the kitchen. In the evening also have feeding little animals time, so interesting. The most of all, it’s eco-friendly camp site that it’s composting toilet. They use pine bark instead of water. All the water come from rain. They also use eco-friendly detergent.

AustraliaThe WiFi was not working in the dorm and the road was a bit difficult and scary especially because I had a rental car.
The place is amazing, so calm and resourceful. I spent a beautiful moment in the middle of the wallabies while they were eating dinner. Everything is extra clean and makes you feel home. I would have loved to stay more, but I’ll come back for sure.

AustraliaAlana and Steve were so welcoming, and I felt very at home straight away in this beautiful, peaceful place in amongst the trees. The facilities - kitchen and sitting area, and bathrooms, with the bonus of provision of laundry facilities - were all beyond expectations for a campground. The outdoor areas in the campground had hammocks; and picnic tables, with spectacular views, were provided on the great little walking track amongst the trees. The encounter with the animals in the evening was a bonus as you could get up close and experience them in their natural habitat. Alana and Steve are also committed to providing an environment consistent with sustainable principles with an extensive recycling system and water systems in place, and I really appreciated Steve sharing of knowledge about the area and the operation of the property. Highly recommend a visit for some rest and relaxation or as a base to explore surrounding areas🤗

AustraliaNothing, it was perfect
This is a stunning property and wonderful accomodation. Environmentally friendly, completely connected to nature, great amenities and wonderful service. It exceeded expectations- the cabin was spacious with everything we needed. Waking up to beautiful nature and animals everywhere- it was stunning. We had planned to go exploring more out of the property but we didn’t need to - there’s loads of space to walk around to immerse yourself in nature. We travelled with a baby and he was accommodated for too. Family run and we felt supported throughout the stay. Such a special place - highly recommend.
