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.).

GermanyLync Haven is in the middle of Daintree rainforest. From here you can move easily to all important places. They also serve great food at reasonable prices. It has own walking pathes through the rainforest right away from the location. The staff is really very friendly and helpful and gives good recommendations on what to visit or options for tours. Thanks a lot Tamara !

AustraliaAs the owners are new and haven't had time to put their own stamp on the place, you can't criticise them specifically. However, there are a few areas that could do with improving over time: -The rooms aren't serviced at all during your stay. If you're there for just 2 nights it wouldn't be an issue but any longer and the dirt that is brought inside from walking in the rainforest can become a frustration. Supplying a vacuum or providing a very quick cleaning service every second day wouldn't go amiss. -More towels, toilet roll and milk/tea/coffee would be brilliant. As Diwan only seems to have extremely expensive little corner shops with very little by way of groceries, guests shouldn't really have to be forking out a fortune on items that are expected in accommodations. And a wet towel on day 1 will likely be a wet towel on day 3 / 4 in the muggy, wet Summer weather so more towels would be beautiful. -Mugs are supplied for tea / coffee but they aren't changed throughout your stay. It's not a train smash but ideally mugs would be changed daily so guests don't have to use the same mug for the duration of their stay. Also, no cutlery is provided with which to make the tea / coffee. -The rooms are designed for short stays so living out of a suitcase for a weekend is fine but drawers or a wardrobe would make longer stays more comfortable. -More pillows. They are pretty flat so two more pillows will sort any issues with the bed. -The food at the Lync Haven restaurant is far too expensive. $65 for two beers and two tiny stir fries - good quality but it's twice what you'd expect to pay even in a major city. -The tin roof on the room is awful in the rainforest. Rain, debris and animals landing on the roof will keep you up all night. Tiling the roof would make the experience far more relaxing and enjoyable.
Lync Haven is in a beautiful location in the rainforest, not too far from the ferry, shops and attractions. The owners were very friendly and made the stay that much more inviting. The retreat was really quiet and the property is well kept. The room size (Queen Room) was perfect and it was very clean on arrival. The two ceiling fans and aircon, as well as the fridge, were a huge bonus in the Summer heat! I understand the owners have only recently taken over the property and are doing a great job so far.

AustraliaVery sad the tourism industry has been affected as hardly any people around, if we did not ask about the restaurant would not have known it was closed due to no people around. Constant hourly bang like noise - could have been the air-con kicking in.
The rooms were very clean. Nice to have the wallabies at our back door. Great for families, interesting nature walks. The gentleman upon arrival was very friendly.
