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.).

Location was perfect for our needs, close to the Maleny Golf Course. The cottage was clean and comfortable, great shower, everything that was needed. Beautiful view from balcony of the rain forest. Great walks wished we had more time. Our host was helpful and informative.

AustraliaEverything was clean and good quality, it was just the towels that were rather stiff and rough. A bit of tumble drying could fix that.
Great views all around, lots of birds, also platypus present. Nice to have good quality extras like olive oil and ground coffee available, and citrus fruit to pick off the trees.

Kaalba has been created with sensitivity to its exquisite environment, and you can't help but feel the beauty of nature all around you. We felt immediately at home and loved the care that has been taken in the design, quality and upkeep of this lovely space. Everything was fabulous, and Steven and his dogs were the best hosts.

Kaalba really is a very special place to stay. The little house is equipped with everything you could need, with quality appliances and furnishings. Steven gave us a wonderful, warm welcome and we got the impression that nothing would be too much trouble. The location is superb, very quiet other than the sounds of nature, a perfect place for just sitting and being in the moment. We were privileged to see the platypus whilst enjoying a sunset drink, that really made our stay absolutely perfect.

AustraliaNothing..... we had a slight issue with smoke alarm but rectified straight away. The hills are steep.
The surroundings and the view from the balcony were sublime. The short stroll down to the creek and waterhole to watch for the ever elusive platypus was well worth the scenery regardless of the outcome, you could just sit for hours listening to nothing much but nature. Steven, Toonie and the beautiful, friendly and oh so lovable dogs were just as good as the accommodation. We would 100% recommend to everyone who would listen and even those that don't want to. Book this place you won't regret it.

AustraliaSteven is a great host and it is easy to tell that he and his partner take pride in providing a great stay for their guests. He gave us some good advice on local walks and places to eat. We felt so happy to see a platypus feeding one evening at a local water hole he directed us to. Sitting on the deck with a glass of wine as the light disappeared in the evenings was very relaxing.
