How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

One staff member was particularly unflexible with changes we had to make with our length of stay. These were unforeseeable conditions that were impossed upon us & we could not get a credit on what had been prepaid for our stay, which had been paid only a few hours prior to arriving there.
The cabins were cosy, nice fireplace & amongst the bushland setting.

The doona cover was dirty- looked like someone had dropped their chocolate on it. (Everything else was very clean) The carpet was icy cold and took us a while to work out the fire heating - couldn’t find any instructions for it. Car park needed set parking spaces as someone had parked terribly making it hard for us to park close.
The heated tile floor. The layout. The fire. The coffee, tea, hot chocolate, chocolates, cheese, wine. The little touches made is extra special

- • Family with young children

- • Stayed 1 night

It's a caravan park cabin and not even a particularly good one. Far too expensive for what it is, basically a tourist trap. Plus they're happy to charge for extra people that have to sleep in top bunk beds, but they won't make them up. At $350 for one night in a basic cabin, I don't feel I should have to make the beds when I get there.
It was conveniently located near the national park and the Devils at Cradle.

Just be aware that you have to boil the water from the drinking water tap. Easiest option was to refill our water bottles at the visitor center.
Within walking distance to the visitor center. Backpacker room was spacious, 1 double bed and 1 bunk bed. Shared kitchen is fully equipped and convenient for cooking. Bathrooms were cleaned.

location was great. easy in walking distance of the Cradle Mountain Visitor Center and shuttle service. The Cabin was big enough for the three of us. However, if it would be full (max 6 pax) it would be too small, as the kitchen table only had four chairds.

The kitchen/dining/living space was really cramped. Whilst the cabin could sleep 6, you couldn't fit six at the table to eat. Shower cubicle tight for space and shower curtain not very effective so lots of water and wet mats on floor.
Perfect Location to visitor centre. 5 min walk to beautiful restaurant and lounge bar next door. Easily sleeps large family with 4 solid bunk beds in second room. Also had a full oven and stove top and large fridge in kitchen which allowed me to cook family meals. Comfy beds.
