How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Some of shower cubicles in shower block had mould up wall. Bed was a bit harder than I prefer. OK price for Kakadu accomodation, but expensive for what you get compared to elsewhere.
Great location. Quiet. Big pool with shade. Air conditioning worked well. Good shower pressure. Enjoyed the chicken slouvaki I had for dinner at the bistro.

Meals at the cafe by the pool were well and truly overpriced even for Jabiru. We ate at the Golf Club.
Huge shady park with a wide range of accommodation. We stayed in a motel type room with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Room was very clean, aircon and screens, fridge and coffee making facilities. Shared amenities were close by and generally clean. Huge pool area , well maintained with picnic tables, sun chairs and spa and adjacent to the bar/café. Generally quiet except for workers leaving early in the morning. Well organised reception also selling good value breakfast bagels.

It would be handy to have a small table or shelf on each side of the bed.
After staying here for three nights and looking around the town, I would say this is the pick of the accommodation options in Jabiru and indeed Kakadu National Park. It is a beautifully laid out leafy park centred around a sizeable swimming pool with a licensed bistro set within a tropical garden. We stayed for three nights in a Queen Bungalow with a garden view. It was a modern studio, tastefully furnished, very comfortable and simply equipped but with everything we needed. It had a spacious ensuite bathroom with a great shower. The verandah was the perfect spot for having breakfast before setting off to explore the area. The staff were friendly and helpful and offered good advice on what to see and the best times to do so. The well-maintained park provided a tranquil place to stay and was nice to return to each day. The bistro had really good food, in fact I thought it was the best “pub” food I have ever had. One night I chose the snapper and another the wild caught barramundi. Both were excellent. Something not to miss while staying here are the freshly cooked bagels delivered to the store every morning.

The room lacked some basics which would be expected of any room, let alone one costing as much as this did - eg. hair dryer, bedside table(s).
