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 reviewThe hosts, Kerri and Phil, are wonderful and helpful people who have an interesting array of visiting animals - who kept us entertained. The facilities are outstanding and well considered. On the deck is situated on the edge of town and has amazing views of the bush. The breakfast menu is extensive. Denham is a beautiful place to stay and enjoy a relaxed pace of life. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay and visit.

Verified reviewThis beautiful AirBnB is a cut above! The room was quiet, comfortable & very spacious but the adjoining entertainment deck was where this place really stood out. Every possible convenience was supplied including the beautiful heated Jacuzzi where we wound down after busy days exploring this stunning region, watching the sunset over Shark Bay with a G&T in hand. The extensive outdoor kitchen with huge gas burning BBQ, seperate plate burner, dishwasher, fridge, microwave & ice maker & a huge 10 seat dining table! Kerrie the host is relaxed & knowledgeable about the attractions of the area & supplies everything you want from an extensive breakfast menu you prepare yourself. The visiting kangaroos & emus were the icing in the cake.

Verified reviewThe entire system was very good. We have not experienced this sort f set up before
The fact that we were not together was rather disappointing . With not understanding the set up it would have been better if the breakfast and self kitchen utilities were explained so we could opt to be on the same level.

Verified reviewGreat views of the scenery and wildlife, and very quiet location
Breakfast was a little bit awkward because the kettle and toaster were in the bedroom but the grill for cooking eggs was in the kitchen area, meaning that timing when to prepare things was important. But this is a minor thing - between the two of us we made it work by dividing duties!

Verified reviewThis was a great place for a 3 day stay on our road trip. A beautiful clean venue with wonderful views of the surrounds. Had privacy and also easy access to the owners Phil and Kerry who provided much advice including confirmation of some trip bookings and where to go to eat. Supplies provided for breakfast which made the start of the day easy. Lovely location to Denham.

Verified reviewWe loved everything about On the Deck! The room was clean, spacious and had everything we could need for a comfortable stay. Added bonus was access to a full outdoor kitchen had we felt the need to cook! The view from the deck was wonderful and even though we had a bit of rain during our stay, the undercover hot tub was just the place to take it all in. Our hosts were really knowledgeable about the area and very generous with their time. We only stayed for a couple of nights, but I wish it had been a week!
Nothing to mention.

Verified reviewThe quiet views of the desert, complete with nightly visits of kangaroos and emus, were the perfect way to wake up in the morning or relax after a day of activity. Our hosts provided us with a great breakfast for us to prepare at the very useful kitchen on the deck outside our room. We also were able to make good use of the barbeque facilities for evening meals. My wife and I spent 5 nights here and could not have asked for a better place to enjoy Denham and Frances Peron National Park.
We were completely satisfied.
