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.).

Verified reviewExcellent 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.
The 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)

Verified reviewLovely property, saw lots of wildlife.
The property had a strong paint/chemical smell. It would have been good to have been warned about this before we moved in.

Verified reviewLoved to quiet,green grounds,
The paint smell was really bad. The cabin had all windows open when we got there. When we left the cabin during are time there we opened all the windows. Cleaners needs to be educated. I cleaned most out of habit the kitchen as in wipe over & opened microwave & it was dirty & not cleaned. Have photos with all issues. A new toaster, breadboard, utensils wouldn’t go astray.

Verified reviewExcellent 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.
Cabin was very cold overnight- definitely bring layers- we had to have the heater on every evening.

Verified reviewWithin literal minutes of arriving, we were hand feeding Kangaroos and the location is pretty quite and relaxed.
The beds. Oh. My. God. The beds need to be burned so no one has to sleep on anything so uncomfortable. Worst bed I've ever slept in. Woke up feeling like I'd been run over every morning. Also the place was pretty poorly cleaned. Seemed okay at first but all the spaced in between like under the bed and on top of the shower ledge were disgusting.

Verified reviewThe location was lovely. I loved the Kangaroos and the magpies serenading us every morning. Bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the hot shower.
Seating was very uncomfortable. We ended up using our picnic chairs.

Verified reviewWe loved the abundant wildlife around our cabin! That was the highlight of our trip!! Cabin 1 was awesome right next to the laundry and clothes line too.
The toilet blocked on two days of our stay. Thanks for fixing it for us. The bunk bed could have been improved with a safety rail for our child too.
