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.).

SpainLog cabin with expansive view of the Grampians. At dusk kangaroos graze close to the cabins, providing that most iconic view of Australia: roos hopping through a dry landscape. Log cabin is fully equipped and has outdoor setting. Central BBQ facilities

AustraliaLocation is isolated with the nearest towns being Halls Gap, so best to be prepared. Also there is no wifi on the property and limited cell service.
Property was cosy and has a convenient store attached and a fuel pump. Room was clean and fully self sustained and had a cabin feel. Also the staff were helpful on recommendations and super welcoming. They offer free drinking water on arrival as the tap was is untreated from Wartook reservoir, although, the tap water is still safe, so it was nice they provided additional water anyways.

AustraliaSmoke detector went off when cooking as no range hood. Same happened to the people staying in the cabin next door. And nope, it isn't only cooking the toaster alone sets the smoke detector off. One of the lights bulbs in the bathroom broke off the lamp and landed on my partner while he was in the bathroom, so that wasn't the greatest experience. Facilities generally a bit dated and would probably benefit from a general check up. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

The view from the room of the mountains was stunning. Rooms were super comfy and everything you need was there. Great hot shower and spacious rooms were bonus.

We liked everything about this place, very nice, comfy and cosy houses with fireplace, reception had a small shop with everything we needed (food etc including beers)) which saved us driving into town, and view was amazing especially at sunrise 🌅. We loved kangaroos jumping around too :)
