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.).

AustraliaNice, peaceful relaxing location. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially Mata, Michael and Sharleen, rooms are clean and comfortable, great pizzas in the relaxed restaurant. Easy drive to both Bitter Springs and Mataranka Springs and about an hour drive to Katherine to enjoy the Gorge cruises.

AustraliaLovely cool pool with tubes for public use, and $2 mini bottles of wine at the bar! Cheap drinks and meals made for a super relaxed weekend away at Mataranka and Bitter Springs. Cute rammed earth hotel rooms. The campgrounds looked fantastic. The bar was. Great with festoon lights and relaxed vibe for the whole family. Owners were friendly, up for a chat, and welcoming. Will definitely return!

AustraliaThe motel rooms are dark and are lacking those thoughtful extras that as a traveller you often take for granted, things like hooks, clothes rails and somewhere off the floor, other than on the bed, to place your bags. Another key issue is that there is no sink in the small kitchenette area, so you have to wash mugs and plates in the bathroom sink. There is a communial kitchen area outside where we guess you are expected to do this, but it would be nicer to be self-contained given that there is room in the space to do this. The bed mattress could have been more comfortable.
We've stayed here before and love the location as its so close to Bitter Springs. The bar/restaurant is great. The food is excellent and the staff are welcoming and happy. The campsites are great (although we stayed in the motel rooms on this occation). The rooms are rammed earth and stay cool during the heat of the day.

New ZealandStaff wasn't very welcoming. Same staff at reception and serving for dinner. The meal, Thai curry, was so spicy hot I couldn't eat it..managed 3 mouthfuls and i dont mind spicy food.. She asked if it wasn't to my liking, I said no and explained why, and the response I got was that was a shame. Ordered, and paid full price for my garlic bread for my dinner instead. In hindsight I should have made her try it. No warning that it would burn your lips and clear your sinuses. We would've spent more time there, and more money, if it wasn't for the attitude. No seating in the rooms, only 2 chairs outside.. and only 2 plates . sleeps 4.
The beds were comfy. It was quiet. Pool was lovely. The restaurant setting was nice. Easy to find.
