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 reviewGreat place to start exploring Kings Canyon. Also, an excellent location to do night sky photos (no light pollution!). The breakfast will provide you with enough energy to continue your travel for the next hours. The personnel are very nice, provide all the necessary information concerning outback traveling.
A/C might require some maintenance, as it is a bit noisy...

Verified reviewThis stay is definitely for adventure or romance seekers. It’s located about 4.5 km from Kings Creek Station, with stunning views of the George Gill Ranges right from your bedroom. Each tent has its own private BBQ and fire 🔥 pit area, and the star gazing here is absolutely incredible. Just make sure to bring enough food and meat 🍖for the BBQ, as the closest shop is about 40 km away.
Overall, I had a wonderful stay. The only challenge was that during my visit, nature brought some strong gusty winds. Since the structure is a luxury tent, at times it felt like it might lift, though it stayed completely secure and safe. I’d recommend bringing earplugs for a restful night’s sleep. Aside from that, everything was fantastic

Verified reviewClean kitchen and washing facilities Aircon in bush tents kept us warm Every staff member we met was friendly and helpful Good buffet breakfast included in price
Noisy generator so request bush tent towards back of site if that might bother you. No heating in the Bough Shed where breakfast was served which meant you had to eat quick!

Verified reviewThe bed was comfortable.
The property has a number of challenges. The first would be safety. The tents are very far from the main area WITHOUT lighting to the parking lot. The unit has no flashlight or first aid kit which considering the remoteness I would have expected. You have to park about 200 meters from the tents and haul everything by wagon to the lodge. That is very annoying after the 3 hour drive from anywhere. The meals were included and the size of the meals were large. However the meals were too large for us to eat. So we asked about trading a meal at a cost of $45 for a dessert costing $15 and they said NO. For a lodge that boast eco- friendly, they promote food going in the garbage since we could not eat it all. It was a very odd decision from the management.

Verified reviewAmazing service at this station. Highly recommend. Loved that there was a restaurant on site with great food and drink options. Breakfast was included with the stay, didn't even realise so it was a nice surprise. Very close to Kings Canyon. The tents are very spacious and comfortable, you get the camping experience without needing to be organised with your own camp gear. Shared showers were much nicer than expected, nothing like a hot shower after a hike. Thanks for a great stay!
10/10 stay
Thank you, Mandy! We’re so happy you enjoyed the service, food, and the comfort of our tents. Great to hear you also loved the hot showers after your hike! We appreciate your recommendation.

Verified reviewPermanent tent style accommodation, with air conditioning and camp kitchen, close to Kings Canyon.
Alcohol is extremely overpriced but there isn't anywhere else to buy it. I would suggest buying in Alice Springs if you're driving from there, also remembering that you can't buy take away alcohol in Alice everyday.

Verified reviewThe 'glam' tent-like rooms were cozy, spacious and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to find a heat pump on when we arrived in the room after dinner. The included dinner was for just a main course, but that was enough I had the fish and my husband had the seafood. Both were very nice.It was great to be able to get proper espresso coffee here too, although you had to pay extra for that. I loved seeing the camels there too.
We found it hard to find the entrance to the cabins, which was an un-signposted driveway 2.5km drive away from the reception and cafe entrance, so we had dinner first, as we had to order before 6.30pm. Once we found the carpark, we found it hard to find our room in the dark, and it was a long way from the carpark. Then we found it hard to lug our bags to the room. In the morning, we found there were trolleys in the carpark to help move bags, but the person at reception did not tell us about them, and we could not see them in the dark once we got there. The breakfast was ok, but we didn't get there till about 9am as we were out taking sunrise photos beforehand. By that time there was only white bread left, which i can't eat, and there was not much of anything else left. The room rate was also quite pricey

Verified reviewStayed in a little permanent tent with 2 single beds. An air conditioner unit inside kept the place warm during the night. Toilet, shower and kitchen facilities are on different buildings. It would not suit elderly people but I would stay again.
Needed a small broom so that you could sweep up the red dust. The cost to purchase bottled water at the store there is exorbitant. Free bottle of water on arrival would be handy as you can't drink the tap water.
