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.).

AustraliaWe had a fantastic stay at Friday Creek Retreat, my husband and I had our wedding night here almost nine years ago and chose to stay again for my birthday weekend. We had a great time and felt like it was a home away from home. While it rained for the duration of our trip, we found the fireplace and ammenities brilliant for this weekend and barely left the property.

AustraliaWe booked a cabin at Friday creek as a stop over but it was far from being just a “stop over”. Gorgeous and cozy little cabins positioned overlooking a valley. The pool was great for the kids (5 and 2 yr old) and had amazing views. There are plenty of natural swimming holes and walking tracks nearby. For only a 20ish min drive from the highway, you feel a million miles away. Paul the owner was super friendly and made sure we settled in nicely. it felt like we’d known him for years. We wished we booked for longer. We will definitely be back.

United KingdomThe property was wonderful. We were a little worried when there was no one at the office and no one answered the phone when we arrived but we found the cabin and just moved in. All I would say is it might be helpful to send customers some clear instructions on finding the cabin and checking in if they arrive after hours or they dont know when they will arrive.
The views were stunning across the back of the property, the cabin was wonderful and very tastefully decorated and the bed super comfortable. It felt very private and secluded.

AustraliaTv was too small but otherwise perfect.
Though the drive from town center kept you away from amenities and restaurants, the size and location of the property was wonderful. Breathtaking views and amazing facilities. The cabin was perfect, beautiful spa bath, great decor and furnishings and very comfortable. Great place for a weekend getaway or a weeklong vacation. My wife and I can’t wait to go back.

The cabin was comfortable, clean, kitchen fully equipped, the location was only 20 mins away to central Coffs Harbour and was in the most beautiful spot. Peace and quiet, the pool was great, bikes available, good Wifi and Paul was friendly and helpful. Thanks for the quick lesson cooking Pizzas! Can’t wait to go back.

United KingdomOur cottage wasn't very clean when we arrived. Dust on the tables and worktops and dirty windows spoilt what was otherwise a lovely cottage. It's difficult to keep the outside of a cottage clean in this type of location, but cleanliness inside should be possible.
Absolutely beautiful countryside location with stunning views. We had the "Casablanca" cottage which had been very thoughtfully decorated with Moroccan style decor and furnishings.

AustraliaThe biggest shame was the pool at the time. It was cloudy and full of leaves and didn't appear to be filtering or moving at all. The owner was aware and ensured it was chemically balanced, but due to the long weekend couldn't get a specialist out. So over a hot 2 days that was disappointing as it's the main facility but it's just one of those things. The sofa bed mattress was a real issue though. I think it was the original one from long ago. Like sleeping on a gate with nothing between the wires and the covering fabric at all. They should have ensured it was sound before selling it as a bed. I felt sorry for my daughter who used the sofa bed and we put as many doonas and blankets on it that we could find. I couldn't have slept on it at all. I did report this and they said they would replace it. I do hope they check all the sofa bed mattresses while they're at it because it wasn't fit for purpose. The main bed was divine though. It would have been great to have a dishwasher but they're on a septic system so maybe that's not possible.
Loved the property and setting. It's God's country and the sun setting of an afternoon over the valley whilst swinging on your balcony hammock chair was utterly divine. We felt immediately rested and restored by the natural beauty and quiet. The cabin was beautifully decorated with high quality appliances and designer crockery. The bedroom was gorgeous with comfy beds and pristine linen. The bathroom was huge and the spa was amazing with romantic candelabra. The pizza oven kitchen, dining and lounge seating around the pool was incredible though, tuscan style and can accommodate several large families dining taking in stunning views.
