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.).

United KingdomBedding slightly damp with insects in room- as to be expected in a rainforest but to be aware of before arrival.
Excellent location and creek for swimming in was exceptional. On site restaurant served quality food also. Embedded within rainforest and gave fabulous experience.

AustraliaBreakfast menu was limited. Restaurant menu was very expensive and meals were hit and miss (some lovely, some not so great). The smoking area was right next to the pool where the kids were swimming which was less than ideal.
Nice and quiet. Very picturesque location. We loved the fresh water springs at the back of the property. Good variety of old school DVDs.

AustraliaThe room is rather basic for the price. For example, while there was room for it, there wasn't an easy chair to read in. This was a shame because reading and DVDs are all that's on hand to do after 7pm.
This wonderful getaway deep in the Daintree Rainforest couldn't be more magical. The natural environment, including the nearby swimming hole and creek on the property, takes centre stage. As a base to explore the region, the location couldn't be better.

Australianothing. We stayed a night. No wifi, no TV so we played monopoly. It was one night deal as our kids could not stay another night without netflix or wifi ;)
The breakfast was very simple with juice and toast. The bread was fresh though. It was very simple life up that way so we understand the normal hotel breakfast standard is not to be expected

AustraliaWe had one night stay at the Heritage Lodge ; would have loved to stay longer - it was a very nice place to stay; cabin was basic, but suited us for the one night. Included continental breakfast was a great bonus with plenty of choice of cereals & toast/spreads. Staff were very friendly; we enjoyed happy hour and also dinner at the restaurant in the evening. The wildlife in the rainforest came out early in the morning; and the sounds of the forest were amazing. Good value.
