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.).

The room was so lovely. Perfect for a couple! They do a breakfast with a koala and you get to meet a few other animals. Daily FREE bird feeding was so good too. All of the staff were happy and helpful.

United KingdomThe bathrooms got full of bugs each night and were therefore full of dead bugs each morning which was quite gross! But lots of showers and toilets.
Great location opposite a bus stop so you can get around easily, lovely bar and pool area and we would recommend the animal tour to meet all of the cute animals at the hostel! The rooms are small but have all we needed including a fridge, and a good sized kitchen and eating area.

AustraliaThe food was pretty average for the prices but that's picking. I also think the bathrooms could benefit from more regular cleans but they were fine otherwise.
Cool and quirky venue for a stay on Magnetic island. Short walking distance to horseshoe bay which has a couple of restaurants and a great sunset. We stayed in one of the double rooms which are really cosy, clean and have great aircon. There is so much wildlife (literally on your doorstep) including wallabies & birds. Nice area to socialise and a large pool. All in all an excellent place to stay and would recommend to anyone considering.

We stayed in a hut and it was lovely, had aircon fresh towels water everything you could want. The kitchen was clean and big enough for amount of people staying. Staff were lovely upon check in and check out. Hang out area and bar were very nice and pool was good too. Kangaroos were around and cool birds too! Walking distance to horseshoe bay.

Austriareception could have stayed open till midnight, second evening our lights and airconditioning kept turbing off so we had to open the door every 30 minutes to turn it on again, but that was a minor issue and didnt affect our stay that much,
The private cabins were very comfortable and clean! Water and glases were provided in the fridge, decoration was nice, aircon worked perfectly for the first day, bathroom quite clean, big kitchen, big property so felt like a resort, good bar area and in the night we could see wallabies, bus to the ferry terminal directly in front off the hotel:)
