Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

everything was great
The location is close to main street shops, walking distance, huge house very spacious ample room for the two of us. All we needed was our own food everything else was there, and a really quiet neighborhood, very relaxing and if we come to kangaroo island to stay again then this is the place we would like to book again.

A slightly longer walk into town than I thought 15 mins if your walking at a pace a bit longer if strolling a nice enough walk in the summer but it's a dark walk till you hit the town now the clocks have gone back. The bed in the ensuite room became small as it had an electric blanket on which I know people will appreciate in cooler weather however it took probably 5ins off the side of the bed the switch was on as you couldn't lie on it.
The Lazaret is exactly as shown on the Booking.com site. It is exceptionally clean and the milk and TimTams in the fridge a nice touch it is spacious and It had everything you need if you wanted to cook.

Very central and close to the major town of the island. Not a thing out of place, kitchen has everything you need, beds were comfy basically makes you feel at home.

Nothing major to speak of really. Maybe the shower head was leaking a bit and the drops make a drumming noise on the shower floor. Mitigated by placing a towel on the shower floor whenever we're not using it.
The place is huge... lots of space for the party of 7. Location is conveniently located. Walked to the grocers, Drakes as well as the Bay of Shoals vineyard. The jetty is also just a short walk.

As above just the ensuite shower, it definitely a screen to prevent the floor flooding.
Plenty of room, comfortable bed, great shower, (only problem in the ensuite, the floor would end up soaked) well supplied with crockery, cutlery etc. WiFi good. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing at all.
The Lazaret was a well maintained, clean, neat & tidy property close to the main town centre of Kingscote. It was quite cold at the time of our stay & the reverse cycle air conditioning heated up the house quickly - fantastic! It was spacious for our needs & we would definitely stay there again & recommend it to others.
