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.).

AustraliaThe cottage is wonderful and peaceful, it exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect for a nature lover or if you like hiking as you have one of the best walks practically on your doorstep. Springbrook is a wonderful town to stay in.

AustraliaYou can't beat the Dancing Waters Cottage location. You walk out the front door and you are at Purlingbrook hiking trails. The host Anastasia went out of her way to make our stay one to remember. I especially loved the complementary cappuccino and scones/carrot cake on a daily basis. The cottage was cosy. It had a self contained kitchen and large upstairs area consisting of bedroom, bathroom and lounge area. We highly recommend the Dancing Waters Cottage/Cafe.

AustraliaThe Pub down the road wasn’t open Sat night but fortunately we had brought food supplies with us.
The location is excellent for walking the Purlingbrook falls trail. It was really convenient being next to the Cafe and having lovely scones with our coffee each morning. Breakfast was supplied for us and we had cooking facilities which made it convenient to self cater for lunch and dinner.

AustraliaThe kitchen has a convection microwave and a small movable induction hot plate but I couldnt find a fry pan to use on it. There was an electric fry pan so used that but not quite what I wanted to cook a steak.
Nice accomodation attached to the Cafe - neat and tidy. Right next to the entrance to the Purling Brook Falls. Some basic breakfast provided being museli and bread for toast. The owner also gave us some lovely scones and hot drinks from the cafe in the morning.

AustraliaBathroom smelt a little musty and also there was a musty smell in bedroom. But air freshener was supplied and it was easy to get airflow through windows. The kitchen would benefit from having another set of shelves or even a little bench under the stairs - the storage unit there now is a bit small and impractical. The kitchen tap had a faulty lever but you didn’t need it to operate the tap.
Lovely location next to National Park. Accomodation is in a very cute two storey house, which is also a cafe. Owner is very friendly and food and coffee at cafe is great. Flat was very quiet in the morning and late afternoon and night, but it is noisy at lunchtime due to cafe. Shower has really good pressure and good hot water. Kitchen also has portable induction cooktop and frypan, but we didn’t use them. The beds were comfortable. The lounge upstairs was very cosy.

AustraliaWas pretty warm/ humid during the day with no air conditioning, but cools down at night time. A few spider webs and bugs, but somewhat expected being next to the rainforest.
The host was lovely, and offered some delicious carrot cake and some good tips about hiking the local area. Good value. Offered some basics for breakfast: bread and muesli, but I had brought my own.

AustraliaNothing. But to inform others - there are only basic kitchen items but not a major problem as microwave and hot plate/frypan available. The shower over the bath may be a problem for someone with mobility issues
Great location and set up. Very tranquil and amongst the trees. Bath was a welcome bonus at the end of a cold day hiking. Very cosy and welcoming inside. Anastasia was a great host - Present but not overbearing and she makes the best scones and coffee on the mountain

AustraliaCan't recommend this cottage enough! The second you walk through the door, you know you have made the right choice. The host was incredibly kind and helpful and made us feel right at home straight away. The cottage will have everything you need for a very comfortable and pleasant stay. We went in winter and thankfully there were heaters in all the rooms and plenty of blankets to keep us warm but it never got that cold for us. Very conveniently located. Right next to the Purling Brook Falls trek, a café just up the road which has a few supplies if you forget to bring enough food and only a short drive to multiple other treks and trails. We even got complimentary scones and tea on our last day (best scones I've ever had!)

AustraliaTook a while to heat but it is winter! Although there is a cafe on site the noise didn't bother us as it opens late and closes early and we were out during that time. Very quiet outside those hours.
Great location for our purposes (next to walking tracks). Warm scones and coffee in the morning from the on-site cafe. Apartment spacious with lovely bush views. Friendly and acommodating host.
