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.).

AustraliaLack of pathway lighting towards the cottage made it difficult to see where we were walking when we arrived at night. We had to use the lights on our phones to see. Due to the lack of lighting, my husband and I would constantly walk through spider webs. Phone reception is terrible. Even with Telstra. The cottage included free wi-fi, but it wasn't the greatest signal. I run a small business and had to be available to my clients while I was away on holidays. This made it difficult to update my website or respond to emails. I would have to wait till I was in town to respond. The top sheet used as a doona cover had several stains. They looked to be from cups of tea or coffee. This was reported to reception the following day. I don't normally sleep with a doona, so chose not to. I half expected it to be replaced, but it wasn't during our entire week there.
Its difficult to describe something so breathtaking. The cottage is tucked away in what can only be described as a rainforest. You really feel like one with nature. The king size bed is super comfy and had me shopping online for one back home. The shower is spacious with a large rainfall showerhead and detachable head. The kitchen is perfect for cooking for 2. Some days my husband and I would just want to stay in, cook and watch the telly instead of going out. I would wake up every morning to the sounds of nature. The lyrebirds and kookaburras calling was beautiful. The location was great. It was far enough away from the main part of town but not too far that we were alone.

AustraliaThe swimming pool was a bit too cold.
Spacious room, modern and great kitchenette. Comfortable beds. Amazing customer service, even without meeting them face to face! We had problems with our tv remote control our first night, and got our breakfast upgraded next day and complimentary wine for our “trouble”! Remote control was promptly fixed next morning too! I definitely recommend this beautiful hotel.

AustraliaDue to Covid the restaurant was closed, so it was a shame we could not use it onsite, but breakfast was provided instead at another location, which was nice. It will be welcomed once the restaurant is open again, it looks very inviting.
Beautiful location, clean room, peaceful location and room upgrade was much appreciated.

AustraliaBreakfast a little inconvenient, 10 min drive away. Perhaps option at booking for breakfast box to room with selections made by guest. Would be happy to have continental breaky in room and wash up dishes used. Huge spider in room which scared children. (At least 15cm ) Also hopefully not charged for wine glass missing when I arrived? (3 not 4) otherwise , lovely place , would stay again
Beautiful view , good sized clean room and bathroom. Nice grounds and facilities, children enjoyed pool and outside facilities. Although breakfast was good would have preferred it on site. Easy check in and out., Friendly staff made after hours check-in easy as.Reasonably priced and would reccomend to family.

AustraliaLovely clean room with a beautiful view. Although the pool was a little small it wasn't full of chemicals which we loved - no chlorine smell! The Cafe was closed due to staff shortages/covid, but we still had a great stay and would recommend Clouds to anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxing break in a beautiful location.

AustraliaThe same as with every other hotel, the bedding is always tucked in really tight all the way around so that you have to pull it all out to get into bed which means you have to remake the bed yourself. Personally, I would prefer a doona with a doona cover - no need to tuck in and it doesn't come apart like a doona between two sheets. We would have loved a pod coffee maker and more hangers.
We were very unfortunate to experience fog and rain for our entire stay which meant we didn't experience breakfast outside or drinks by the pool which we had hoped to do. That, obviously, is not the fault of the venue but it did make it a different experience but we know why it's called Clouds! We loved the fact that the cafe sells frozen, chef prepared meals to heat in the microwave; they were very good. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were happy to bring us pots of Earl Grey tea rather than using the water from the urn which was never hot enough to make a good cup of tea. The range and quality of items offered was wonderful: fruit juice, cheese, ham, pastries, toast, cereals, fresh fruit, fruit salad, home made pots of yoghurt with cereal, etc. You would not go hungry. If that's not enough, you could pay extra for a cooked breakfast which was also delicious. The accommodation was delightful and tastefully furnished. The shower was excellent and we were glad to have a heated towel rail as the weather was so damp. We had only one hanger but were soon brought more on request. There were more electrical sockets than you could shake a stick at (very British meaning lots), including one with two USB sockets near the workdesk area. The cottage was set back from everything else so really quiet with a wonderful view of the bush. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

AustraliaAdvertised garden view from ground floor room when I booked. None of the ground floor rooms have a view of a garden. They all have a view of the car park. You therefore close the curtains and have no outlook at all from the room.
Well presented continental breakfast in a sunroom with views of the garden. Staff friendly and helpful. Location is great for access to Montville and Melany.

Australiathe property was nice and accommodating however the first room we were given had a broken ac and was very unclean. we then had to move everything to a new room which we were given, but this did not have a working internet connection. we were then asked to stay in the new room and go to the old room with no air con to use the internet. when the no ac room was fixed, it was filled with others. we were given yet another room and loved into it for the final night. we were given upgraded breakfast for two mornings because of the hassle. the staff also tried their level best to help out. Ella and Racheal were very good.

AustraliaThe only reason I did not award a perfect score was I asked on booking if there were 2 beds and was assured there was a sofa bed. That's reasonable but apart from sheets there was no bedding provided for the sofa. It was up to us to dismantle the main bed of quilt and pillows to get 2 functional sleeping zones. Due to the floorplan and aircon location the bedroom was a bit stuffy.
The room was a little clean and neat 1 bedroom apartment with a great view.

AustraliaEverything was great however there were lots of cobwebs on the path to our cottage. Every time we got rid of them they’d be back within a few hours. Understand it’s in the rainforest but if the trees surrounding the path could be sprayed that would be good. Also most other luxury accommodation providers offer a complimentary bottle of wine and that would have been a nice touch.
The luxury cottage was incredible! We loved having our own private oasis. The continental breakkie was great too! We would definitely stay again!
