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 fact that I had to leave after having such a great time.
The location is excellent with magnificent views. I particularly loved the open kitchen and bathroom giving you the feeling that you are part of your surroundings. The outside bath big enough for two was an extra treat. We spent hours lying in bath looking at the stars. The absence of technology like Tv was great for an even better nature experience. The fresh fruit breakfast was excellent combined with the good coffee provided.

United StatesThe hosts were so welcoming and kind, they met us right when we arrive with huge smiles on their faces. They took the time to give us local recommendations and share more about their property. We were extremely impressed with each unit, from the photos we didn’t realize our group with 2 couples would get their own unit including an outdoor shower and bathroom, outdoor kitchen and soaking tub. We enjoyed the fresh fruit, local tea and muesli while overlooking the rainforest and looking at the birds. We had a phenomenal stay and only wish we could’ve stayed longer.

AustraliaThe views and wildlife were exceptional - I could have spent an entire week sitting on the patio just taking it all in. The bungalow felt very homey and it was great having all the kitchen facilities to cook for ourselves. The handmade soaps and bath salts were a lovely surprise, as well as the great range of breakfast items. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our weekend getaway

AustraliaWe had a 4WD so the steep driveway was no problems. Could be a problem in bad weather if you had a 2WD. In saying that height of property meant fab views!
Hosts were friendly without being intrusive. Breakfast was lovely and like Oliver we asked for more (kindly and quickly provided!). Setting was gorgeous. Had to get used to be able to chat to someone in the bathroom while cooking outside! Our favourite stay in FNQ.

United KingdomA beautiful place to stay; in fact, my favourite throughout the whole trip. So much thought has been put into every detail. They have done a great job with consiously reducing their ecological footprint while still providing every luxury you could want. The local teas, coffee and breakfast treats were amazing too. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone else visiting the daintree rainforest!

CanadaThe only thing that would have made it better was to have air conditioning and better wifi, both I recognize as being not options for that area. And we were grateful for the wifi we did have. It was quite hot in the room, but with the fan going we were able to sleep.
The bungalows are very unique with the outdoor kitchen and open air bathroom. The room is nicely done and the added touches of fresh petals, hand made soaps and the incredible breakfast. We were there for 2 nights and given lots of fruit, muesli, bread, coffee etc. Really nicely done. The setting, in the rain forest, is absolutely beautiful. It is a very tranquil and comfortable spot.

AustraliaNothing to say.
We stayed in the Mangosteen bungalow for three nights and it was wonderful! Don't expect TV and fast Wi-Fi, instead relish the views to Thornton Peak during the day and the Milky Way at night. Jill and Peter are excellent hosts, providing lots of info on top spots to visit, as well as some very nice extras, like a fruit platter, fresh baked bread, local coffee, and handmade soap. The room and furniture are first class. We loved this place and highly recommend it.
