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...).

Some of our midday hiking was hot Hot as we chose our visit second week of March. Our hosts did everything to accommodate us.
Facilities are first class and modern.,Hosts are very knowledgeable of Australian and local culture past and present. Breakfast choices covered all the bases. Convenient to a neighborhood restaurant and School of the Air visitors center. Margaret and Alf even helped when we needed transportation.We got some good walks to town center and Todd Mall. Especially Telegraph station. We like to hike. This is a quiet and secluded location.

Nothing really. We were taking part in an organised tour and our location may have been a little out of the main CBD area where our pre trip meetings were held.
The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. They catered for our every need and the breakfast was delicious and offerred a large range of options.

We were happy with everything, but be aware that depending on the room you get and how many other guests there are, you might have to share a bathroom,
Margaret is an outstanding host and she and Alf really go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable, interesting and safe. She came and got us from the airport, gave us a bit of a tour of Alice, and generally looked after us much better than we’d ever expect. The B and B is pristinely clean, bed is very comfortable. Highly recommend it.

The location is such that you do need to use a car to get to town and most of the places to be visited in Alice. That said, it's a quiet and attractive location. It was reasonably expensive, but not excessively so in relation to all accommodation in Alice at that time
Margaret and Alf were lovely and helpful hosts. The room we had was clean and very large with all the facilities that we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and the range of breakfast offerings and the quality of the breakfast was excellent
