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):
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 outside chairs and table were rusty. The outside logs where you park the car could be changed as the car can get caught under the log. The shower head too low for my husband and he is only 179cm. (The shower was a biggest issue)
Excellent kitchen, loved the stove and equipment very clean. Having the table & chairs inside great. Didn't use the washing machine but it was great to have it available. Area was lovely private & quiet.

AustraliaCabin was very cold overnight- definitely bring layers- we had to have the heater on every evening.
Excellent location just outside kingscote with parking right next to the cabin. Cabin had all basic amenities including microwave, kettle and portable heater. Shower was hot, with plenty of blankets and duvets. Nice porch with view across the local field.

Sri LankaWould be better if the kitchen utensils were clean & if the bathroom had carpets to prevent wetting the floor after a shower. Except for that, everything else was good and has good value for money.
The location was convenient and close to all the shops at the town. The cabin was good enough for a couple. Having the washing machine facility came in handy for us.

AustraliaSome of the flooring seemed to be a bit rotted in the bathroom and needs some repairs. Not huge drama but felt uneasy when the floor flexed under foot. Some scurrying in roof at night, not sure what it was but definitely in roof space but no evidence in cabin. We kept all food in car to be safe in any case.
Quiet, great, peaceful location close enough to all we needed. Not a full kitchen but plenty decent enough to cook some meals with all cooking utensils provided. Clean and well presented, especially considering the age of the cabin.
