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 KingdomWe were concerned about the driving conditions due to reading about the cyclone damage but our concerns weren’t needed. The road was carefully marshalled and well-signed to maintain safety for drivers. We have nothing negative to say about the resort.
Great location for exploring the tropical rainforest as the location is right next to the beach in the forest. Very friendly staff who ex0ained that they had only just re-opened after severe damage from the December cyclone but we had a great stay. Cars are parked at the top of a hill and troll eyes available to take your luggage to your chalet. We were allocated a chalet next to the restaurant and right next to the beach access - perfect! The chalet was ideal for us as a couple, large comfy bed, hot shower, outdoor covered veranda space with small table&chairs and it was useful to have a fridge in the room to store the food & drinks we had brought with us. The chalets was surrounded by the forest trees so we always heard sounds of the animals that live there. It rained heavily during the evening and night so we just used the pool - as you couldn’t get any wetter! When the rain stopped, the tide was right in so it wasn’t possible to walk along the beach but other guests had done this earlier, staying well away from the sea edge as there were warning signs about crocodiles but we knew this would be the case. We had a really tasty evening meal in the restaurant that wasn’t over-priced and the menu offered a good selection of dishes & drinks. Good value. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cape Trib Beach House and would recommend it highly.

United KingdomWhilst I recognise that this is a forest/beach location and that the cafe/bar is an outdoor facility, I did feel the staff could have tried harder to regularly clean the floor area and make the tables cleaner. Also the awning, whilst superb was very dirty which made the area darker and rather spoiled the experience for me. I would have expected at the price point we paid, this aspect would have been better.
The remote location is superb. Being on the beach alone at sunrise and sunset was very special. The bedroom accommodation was as described, surrounded by fabulous forest. Basic, comfortable, very clean. Quiet too, we heard no noise from our neighbours. We liked the food in the cafe/bar area. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaThe price was relatively high for a very basic and small bungalow during off-peak season. The pool was also very basic, which matters when you can't swim at the beach. But our biggest qualm was our AC was broken on checkin, which was either known to staff before we checked in, or should have been known. Of course we raised the issue expecting it to be dealt with but the AC was not repaired. We could not be moved bungalows because the other two equivalent bungalows were occupied. That's understandable. But there are other solutions - a modest discount, a few complementary drinks. Anything. But instead, it was not fixed and that was that. I reckon a straw poll would result in almost unanimous agreement that expecting working AC in far north Queensland in November is a given, especially when paying over $330/night for the room. We stayed at many cheaper properties during our holiday and all had perfectly working AC. Again, if it couldn't be fixed during our staff we understand, but offer something else. Absolutely nothing was offered.
Staff were great (aside from AC problem not being dealt with - see below). Location was great, right on the beach. Most exceptional aspect was the food at the restaurant. Absolutely world class. Give the chef a raise! He is a young French guy who was so lovely and friendly and cooked like a Michelin Star chef.

AustraliaOrange-footed scrubfowl call was too loud in the morning! Just kidding, all was well, thank you!
Situated slightly beyond Cape Tribulation village, this property stands as the final stop before the gravel road. However, with a car, traveling to and from was effortless. Our stay was tranquil, complemented by a delightful dinner at a nearby restaurant. The staff was amicable, and the rooms were pristine.

AustraliaThere was no wifi or mobile connection. (Again this could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.). Digital detox and catch up on sleep. We had a light not working. Reception closes at 4pm and because there is no reception (no way of calling) we had to tell the staff at dinner time in person. (Dinner starts at 6pm). The staff only managed to fix it in the morning the next day. It is fine as we had others light in that room so things will get resolved but be prepared to wait.
It was affordable for the Cape Tribulation area. No kitchen so we weren’t able to cook (that could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. =)). There were tea and coffee making facilities and we were allowed to have cup noodles on the balcony.
