Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

AustraliaUnable to pass comment. Everything was exceptional.
Exceptional location, immaculately clean, room service everyday (wasn't expecting that), really friendly and helpful staff and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get up! To top it all, the view from my cottage was a picture postcard of the snowcapped mountain range.

AustraliaNo bread knife to slice the locally baked bread.
Originally booked the 10 cottages but moved into the hotel/apartment for the extra cooking facilities of a hot plate. Both cabins and apartments have recently been refurbished and are very comfortable with new carpets and new bathrooms. All have heated towel rails and the hotel apartments have heated floors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommend going to the glacier region in the winter and staying with the lovely people at The Terrace/10 cottages. Bonus is the walk to the Gallery Gorge is just up the road from the hotel.

Australia-I found the bed comfortable, but my partner felt like it was making him slide off the bed. -The bowls are tiny & not suitable to use for a breakfast bowl.
Great location. Amazing views. -The light from the street light shines right into the room. In saying that the curtains a very good block out curtains. - good size coffee mugs. Most places we stay they are too small, but these were a good size.

AustraliaI didn’t get a cabin with a parking spot outside it and got soaked in the rain. Not major, just an annoyance. No air conditioning or spilt cycle, very humid inside.
Loved the cabin surrounded by ferns. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Easy walking distance to the start of walks, shops, activities like the heliport and restaurants.
