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.).

United KingdomThere were quite a few bugs and creepy crawlies, which is of course to be expected in the rainforest, but worth mentioning if you’re not a fan!
Such an amazing find! What a fab location to be so close to the city and yet wake up in the rainforest treetops! Antje was so welcoming and included some really lovely touches of luxury which made it an extra special stay! The breakfast was delicious too! I would highly recommend this place!

AustraliaAntje & Ben were so lovely and welcoming from the moment you arrived. The photos honestly do not do it justice, the rooms are a perfect size for a romantic getaway, the view is gorgeous and we were lucky to have perfect weather for our entire stay. The pool was wonderful and we loved the BBQ area. The whole place was just amazing. All I can say is once you arrive, you will never want to leave and when it is time to leave you will be sad to go. Thank you again Antje & Ben for your amazing hospitality and we will definitely be back again!

AustraliaSome clothing storage or opportunity to hang up some items other than a couple of hangers would be great.
Surrounded by rainforest & tropical gardens Rainforest Retreat was tranquil and very relaxing. Enjoyed listening to the Birdcalls. Hosts Ben & Antje were very friendly & welcoming. The breakfast supplied and especially the yoghurt & berry fruit tubs were excellent & delicious. Great feel high at the back of Cairns in the peace and privacy of the rainforest. The pool and deck area is very relaxing. Day out, jump in the pool to cool off and stretch out in the outdoor area.

The view was absolutely beautiful Very peaceful & breakfast Muesli was absolutely delicious (breakfast at additional cost) Outdoor area was set up beautifully and the pool was a plus Very Clean Location is about 20-25 mins away from Airport - 10-15mins from the main city The Hosts were very kind and very accomodating - There is space for parking if required Expect to see/have little insects within the cabin 😂 esp when you leave the lights on

Everything. Surrounded by lush rainforest set up high in the trees in a little wooden cabin and a spa bath...heaven.. with aircon and a very comfortable bed. Loved having tall glass windows surrounding the bed, really allows you to enjoy the rainforest to the full extent. Lots of privacy and 10 mins to the city, it was perfect for us. Really loved the yummy tropical fruits and yoghurt that were left for us also. Lovely weekend stay!
