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.).

AustraliaWifi and phone reception was virtually zero. About a 10 minute drive to get into any sort of phone or data range. If you did need to be connected for any reason you won’t really be able to do that reliably at the property, so keep that in mind. No oven, but that was minor. Still had microwave, hot plates, toaster etc. fridge and small freezer. The night lighting was a bit dim and only a few power outlets, but again nothing major. A bit hairy getting up to the property at night, low vidability and some steep windy roads. Just need to take it slow and be sensible. You will always need a designated driver (this was not an issue for us), but should be kept in mind.
This is an eco warriors dream. Close enough to new Norfolk to get all supplies and only a quick round trip if you for got anything. Really peaceful, lots of wildlife and a sense of classic Tasmanian wilderness. The wifi was not really usable and there is virtually no phone signal - this was both a positive and a negative. Great to be off screens and not constantly checking msgs and apps. Very relaxed and warm. Calm and serene. Graham is absolutely lovely and made the stay a breeze. Can house up to six. Great for a friends get away or a family retereat. No TV in the cabin!! Great eco vibe. Definitely promotes real conversation and appreciation for the simple thing msg in life.

AustraliaDriving there in the evening could be a bit challenging, better to check in before it gets dark.
Three separate buildings, dorm, kitchen, toilets/bathrooms/laundry. Environmentally friendly design, using solar power(partially) and compost toilets. All buildings have heaters, nice and warm in winter, Graeham has a detailed report of the local wildlife, including those he rescued and released back to the nature. Worth a read.

AustraliaCan't think of anything!!!
The owner/care taker, Graeme, is the best host. We stayed at the bungalow and it is very comfortable and clean. It is well equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. We mentioned to Graeme that we were going to visit a very remote area the next day and Graeme was so kind to loan us his EPERB. Thank you kindly Graeme.
