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 only thing if I had to say something, was the mattress could be a bit softer. But was still able to sleep well enough though.
Close proximity to the township, and water. Also great home made biscuits and chocolate waiting for us on arrival. The staff were friendly and helpful we had a good stay. Good value for money

AustraliaI felt like visiting a friend's home with a bedroom decorated with thoughtful amenities. Good kitchen set up to allow simple cooking. The air-condition is the best I have come across. It's so quiet and effective. The smart TV with streaming platforms to choose makes great entertainment. For very small price, the room has a minibar service to use.

AustraliaIt was all good.
The room presents very well and comfortable. The bed was outstanding for comfort and the linen was the nicest we'd slept on in years, so much so we noted the brand. The weather board (with the upcoming forecast) placed on the bed was a nice touch with some chocolates. Outside, there is a lovely seating area near the pool amongst the palms. Overall, it's a great little place. We'd definitely stay there again.

AustraliaSadly for our room the shower gel container was empty, I'm all for less waste but refillable containers need to be checked. The house keeper asked us to move our car back from the path to get the cart along, it would be good if this was made clear when first parking, maybe a sign, she had to knock on nearly all doors most people came out a little surprised by this.
The reception was exceptional, very friendly and informative one of the best greetings we've encountered. The bed was very comfortable and the room user friendly, modern kettle and coffee maker, some home made style cookies were a lovely touch. This has been an old motel tricked up to be modern and welcoming also a weather prediction for the next day. Shower was good. The owner recommended the Lake Tyers hotel for dinner and it was great, including the courtesy bus both ways.

Even though this hotel isn't modern the added touches make it a great place to stay. My husband especially liked having a lounge to sit on to watch TV.
