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.).

We loved this glamping type experience. We felt like we were in the forest and could hear all the animals and see the trees from our cabin. Our bed was very comfortable and showers were hot. Staff were lovely and the open air dining area was relaxed and fun

Everything. It was perfect for our two night stay. I stayed here 30 years ago (twice) and loved it. It hasn’t changed much thankfully! Lovely place for families to reconnect, play board games, cards, etc. Pool, Night Walks, Glamping in Safari tents. Mosquito nets, comfortable beds. It is exactly as the owners describe and if you only like 4 star accommodation, this is not for you. However, you are missing out big time! Lovely helpful, friendly staff, great food at reasonable prices. Loved the Thai vegetable curry. Even though it poured with rain (what do you expect?), we had a brilliant time. Even did the Orange RopeWalk which I remembered from way back, but do NOT recommend it!!!

What an amazing little place! Our booking here was only last minute, but it was definitely meant to be. The staff were lovely, the night walk, despite being in heavy rain, was amazing. You really do feel like you're staying in the middle of the rainforest and I would highly recommend anyone stay here... I'll be back!!

AustraliaThere was nothing, not to like. It was a lovely experience, sleeping in the rainforest.
We were literally staying on the doorstep of the Daintree rainforest. The cabins were comfortable and clean. The owners Sally and Steve made us feel very welcome...very friendly and accomodating. They had a great menu you could buy breakfast and dinner from...or a very good kitchen to cook your own meals.

AustraliaIf there were more activities or info sessions attached so that we can rely more on this place to be our trip providers instead of doing our own, that would be great. Other than that I can't pick anymore floors. Oh someone took 2 eggs but so be it that's not the accommodations fault.
This place is in the Daintree rainforest and is absolutely gorgeous. The people that run the place are kind and informative for the area. I look forward to seeing how this place evolves in the future as the potential seems quite spectacular.

It was our second time at crocodylus and we enjoyed it thoroughly. This place is really an amazing experience in a stunning jungle setting. The location is great near beautiful beaches, swimming holes and attractions. The hosts are really accomodating and very helpful. The communal kitchen is really functional with great space and equipment. The night walking tour was great! We will be back again :)

AustraliaNothing, really. I didn't sleep very well because the forest is noisy and it rained very hard, but that has nothing to do with the accommodation. In fact, it was really part of the experience of sleeping among the oldest rainforest in the world!
The setting is absolutely unique, and truly spectacular. The forest that the accommodation is nestled in is simply magical! The staff were also very friendly and had a lot of character, making us feel like we were really at home. What's more, it was impressive that they could whip up such simple but tasty and satisfying fare in such a remote setting and with simple facilities.
