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.).

SingaporeOpen concept for toilet and shower area offers limited privacy for all guests. Unsure if itchiness and bug bites were sustained from the bedsheets or from exposure to the harsh elements. Was also hoping to catch a glimpse of the 2 resident Casssowaries, but to no avail... :(

Cabin had absolutely everything you needed. Comfortable bed, great shower, cold fridge, and fantastic outdoor kitchen with bbq and hob. Best of all was sitting looking at the ocean with a beer in hand. There is a beach cafe opposite the cabin and loads of restaurants within a few mins drive.

Small but perfectly formed cabin in a fantastic location. Çomfortable bed and everything you need for a night at Cape Trib. Opposite the beach and Thorntons Bar and Restaurant ( which was open on Sat night for fish an chips). The owner was really helpful showing us where to go and what to see and communication was excellent. This is a small cabin but everything is beautifully maintained and shows attention to detail so that it works. Individual BBQ and outdoor space, ocean glimpses.

SwitzerlandThis place in truly amazing! We loved staying here for 2 nights and regretted that we could not stay longer. Although the whole area is off the grid (relying on solar power) it has everything we needed, even a washing machine (cold only) what we didn't expect. Be aware however that due to the humid conditions, it takes very long to dry the clothes (no tumbler available of course). The lack of A/C was no problem at all as the whole building has ventilation blinds that can be opened and there are remote controlled fans everywhere so you can have a nice breeze during the night. Be sure to bring everything you need to the Daintree forest as there are not many shopping opportunities. The kitchen is large and together with the BBQ grill we could cook a delicious meal. The owner took much time to show us around and explained us everything. She was super friendly!

United KingdomBest to leave big suitcases in the car
Great location just opposite Thornton Beach which was visible through the trees from the balcony of the bungalow, parking space outside , . There is enough off grid electricity to run the fridge, light and a socket to charge phones etc. there was plenty of hot water for showers. The covered private outside kitchen had a gas BBQ and a single gas ring plus pans and utensils and a seating area. The bedroom is small but comfortable, a good value for money place to stay.

The bungalows are set just across the road from Thornton Breach, which is absolutely stunning. They are exceptionally clean and comfortable. The little extras such as the tea and coffee facilities were great and there was a lovely balcony with table and chairs along with a private bbq area. Our host, Dean was amazing. Very friendly and so kind to us when our car didn’t start. He did all he could to get it working, but to no avail and when we had to wait for 4 hours for a mechanic he let us to stay at the property and kept us company while we waited, telling us stories and interesting facts about the area. We would DEFINITELY recommend Thornton Beach Bungalows and would love to stay there again one day.
