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 room was, even for a bunk bed room, way too small. We couldnt move about in our room at the same time as each other. That was the only thing we didnt like other than the high cost of $700/nite for 2 single bunk beds in a tiny room only to sleep in. Had a nice balcony area..but obvioiusly too cold to sit out there for long.
Breakfasts were very nice. Facilities were great, cosy, lounge area, spa, etc. Next time i will get a bigger room if I can afford it.

AustraliaA bit pricey, but it’s Australian skiing. But the hot tub after a day ski touring made us think it was good value after all!
Quirky and certainly unique! But comfy, well heated and excellent amenities. Especially the hot tub and sauna. Breakfast was hearty and the hosts were amazing.

AustraliaPersonal transport is run by governing body and lacks in versatility. Uber style smaller snowcats for 4 would be a great addition for those of us who don’t ski around. To be able to call a “cab” and get door to door service would have increased our spend and broadened our experience significantly. For the benefit of all businesses and stayers I would urge the governing body to consider allowing “Uber style” service to compliment the existing general public transport service.
Great breakfast and facilities. Staff and hosts are wonderful people. Nothing to complain about.

AustraliaThe mountain-wide shortage of staff staff showed up in the dining room a bit. They did the best they could but the struggle was real. Make sure you book ahead for the dining room if you want to eat in-house
Rooms very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. prepared to your order from a small choice each day, and a side-table of continental breakfast items if you preferred. The service was very attentive in a small dining room.

AustraliaDue to staffing shortages we had to wait for some time before we checked in. You can hear every person movement in the hotel. The room above where we stay were moving around excessively and it felt like they would fall through the roof onto us in bed. Very noisy.
Location and the authenticity of the venue was amazing. Due to staffing issues the staff on site have worked long hours and it was visible, although they put on a brave face.

AustraliaMattress
The only thing that Karelia needs to do is update the mattresses. The beds are just not very comfortable. BUT...everything else was outstanding. It is a true icon and I felt like I stepped back into the 80's in Austria. The level of attention to detail is outrageous. Everything is just so meticulously detailed and authentic. I truly hope it never changes. Except for the mattresses. Get some Tempur mattress and it's an 11 / 10 lodge.
