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.).

CanadaAcknowledging more obviously in advertising that the Bunkieland cabins had a steep set of stairs that could pose a problem for elders, persons with a handicap or anyone having a balance problem. These cabins are perfect for the super fit outdoorsy types !
Our only issue was the steep ladder climb to get to the loft bed. However our host, Maria, was wonderful and hastily found a new replacement accommodation the next morning.

United StatesMotion detector light on the bathroom wasn't working. It was dark but the fullmoon lit up the area just fine. Did not know where the wood was kept for a fire. Not sure if fires were even allowed there. 🤔

CanadaThere was nothing really major that we didn't like. The bathroom fan was quite noisy and a few basic spices in the kitchen would be nice, but again, nothing major!
The cabin's location was excellent, just outside of the city of Nelson.

CanadaI was driving a big truck & the driveway was a smidge tricky…I’d recommend parking in the little lot & walking down to check it out first. The bunkie was extremely private & I didn’t feel the need for blinds/curtains, but they might be nice just to keep the heat out during the day. Cooled off nicely at night though!
Definitely not mainstream…so much better! We stayed in the brand new”Boho Bungalow” with a beautiful lake view from our very private sundeck. The master bedroom (loft) had a superb bed (you have to climb a ladder), and the futon bed below was comfortable for 1 adult (2 smaller kids would be fine). We slept with the windows open wide to the sounds & smells of our woodsy setting…glorious! There’s a separate bathroom steps awawy (really nice & new), & another little kitchen house with everything you need. Also bbq, firepit & picnic areas (small fridge/freezer in the bunkie). Maria is an amazing host…she really will get you whatever you need. Everything is beautifully decorated & thoughtfully planned. Will definitely return!

CanadaThis is a specific issue that I have with all cabin rentals, and perhaps I am a bit of a cookware snob but I would like to see better pots and pans. I understand that it is hard to do, because some people don't know how to deal with seasoned cookware, so I guess non stick is the best way to go.
As this was not a B&B but a cabin rental we did not get breakfast. The location was great as we were only 5 minutes from Nelson, but we had a lovely little deck that looked out over the valley and the town that got shade from about 10 am on, with another deck on the side if you wanted a little sun. Stacking washer and dryer was nice to have too.

CanadaUnfortunately it was a little less private than I expected. I had not known there would be construction going on right next to the cabin when I booked the trip. Also there are no blinds/ curtains on any windows in kitchen/ living area. Because of this and the workers very close by, I felt I did not have enough privacy. And because of that I decided to check out early
Host is amazing. Very warm, helpful and outgoing. She made sure I had everything I needed and even gave me a tour of the new Bunkieland! Adorable Absolutely beautiful property with lush forest, flowers and nature all around. Sooo much better than a hotel! Love the rustic , homestead feel of the cabin. Impeccable view.

CanadaThis beautiful cozy cabin tucked away on the side of a hill offered stunning views of the mountains and rivers. And we were less than a 5 minute drive from town. The cabin has a huge kitchen, well stocked with supplies for meal preparation. The bedroom is large and spacious with a glorious view, and the loft bed was an added charm . Our host, Maria, is very gracious and will told us points of interest in town, where to go for walks, and hikes, and about the hot springs near town. We absolutely will be back to Morning Star.

CanadaIn order to have such a spectacular view you loose the ability to being able to walk anywhere. It's not far from town but it's a few minutes from nelson.

CanadaThere is nothing we didn't like. Oh, yes, one thing which isn't a complaint, just an observation. At night we are used to closed blinds at home, but there were none in the living area of the cabin (only in the bedroom). But we got used to it as there weren't any neighbours or people who could peek... We were surrounded by nature.
We liked the very cozy cabin with a fully equipped kitchen. Everything you need is handy. Every room had its own baseboard heaters and the temperature could be adjusted individually. It was very clean and tidy. We slept wonderfully in the soft comfortable bedding.
