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 only negative aspect was the lack of internet, but we understand that is a getaway place so it is not crucial for the accommodation to have. Honestly, we did not check that before booking so it is all good.
We liked that the lounge room was comfy and spacious, that everything was very clean, and that the beds were very comfortable. We also appreciate that there were blankets and supplies such as shampoo and hairdryer available.

AustraliaThe lighting of the room was not good. There should have been more warm lights in order to create more cozy environment in the cabins.

AustraliaOur second visit at Federation Gardens & Possums Hideaway was equally as enjoyable as the first, exceeding our expectations. Our host, Jess, greeted us warmly and made us feel perfectly at home from the time we arrived. The accommodations itself provide a range of features that serve well to both adults and children. The BBQ area was well-equipped and maintained, making it ideal for family meals and quiet gatherings. In addition, the pool was popular with the youngsters. They spent hours enjoying the indoor and heated water, which kept them comfortable no matter what the weather was like. Another notable feature was the fire pit. Everything was lovingly provided, including firewood, fire starters, and marshmallows in the room, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. These simple gestures made our stay quite unforgettable. The kids' gaming room was well-stocked with activities like as table tennis, several sorts of balls for different sports, and much more. The addition of a tennis court with rackets and balls expanded the variety of outdoor activities accessible. In addition to the various attractions of Federation Gardens & Possums Hideaway, the reception area has a large selection of movies and board games. Guests can select from this collection for free. This feature is very tempting to families and parties searching for indoor entertainment, particularly in the evenings or on rainy days. The location of Federation Gardens and Possums Hideaway is also worth noting. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Evan's Lookout, Grand Canyon, and Walls Cave, providing easy access to some breathtaking natural sites.

AustraliaThere was nothing to fault!
Possum Hideway proved to be a beautiful private location. Easy to get to by car and only a short drive from the main hub attractions of Katoomba and Leura. Facilities were modern and clean. The fireplace being prepared for our use was a big highlight (as we've never built one before!) and the heater being turned on to warm our room for our late check-in was amazing! The late check-in and complimentary 12 pm check-out were a dream! 100% would recommend it, and would stay again!
