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.).

AustraliaAlthough the food was beautiful, a few cheaper options would be good for families. Staying for 3 nights we spent a fortune on dinners. Didn't seem to be any other options in the area.

AustraliaRestaurant and bar area lacked a bit of a cosy atmosphere. Those locations are in the open air so it can also get a bit cold at night.
The cabin we stayed at was a lot more luxurious than expected. I loved what they did with it! It was cool to go for some small walks and see the lagoons onsite. Felt like an adventure. Stargazing is also really nice to do when it's so dark, if you dare to switch off your flashlight in the pitch dark with some jungle sounds around you.. You get a flashlight and umbrella to borrow during your stay there. Convenient that there's a restaurant onsite, you don't want to drive in the dark in the jungle. I loved the DVDs they supply to watch in your room.

AustraliaThe only comment would be that the double bed was a bit worn out.
Heritage Lodge is a haven in the beautiful rainforest. We were especially surprised to find the restaurant serving such excellent meal. The owners and staff were outstandingly friendly. A bonus was the river flowing just below the resort. A cool swim and a long walk along the river bed were very refreshing.

AustraliaNot the most comfy beds, breakfast was pretty basic, It needed a place to go to on site with kids other than your room or restaurant when it rained. Some more food prep facilities in the rooms would be great eg. microwave/toaster, plates etc for families with kids.
Location was central to explore the area, dinner at the restaurant and outlook over the creek was amazing, The room was clean and surrounding rainforest was great to explore. Kids loved the frogs in the pool at night.

United KingdomNothing - we loved it !
Authentic rainforest experience. Even in winter it is warm and humid. Staff do the best they can to keep humidity out of bedrooms but inevitably things are slightly damp. The air conditioning is v good. Rooms were clean and well maintained. This is not a city centre hotel so don’t expect it to be. It has a unique charm. Enjoy the break from the outside world ! Staff very helpful, owner friendly- we loved the happy hour and board games. Dinner was fabulous with amazing choices - very impressed ! Breakfast was continental style with warm freshly baked bread - delicious ! Thanks for an unforgettable stay 😊
