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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaClose to the road which became quite noisy at times with heavy vehicle movement. It was more remote than I expected, with limited access to places to eat and drink. I didn't like the bed, the mattress was quite uncomfortable.
It was a pleasant location, the facilities were functional and met my needs. Perfect if you want somewhere remote to get away from things.

Australia1 dining room chair, wobbly coffee table, 1 spoon, 1 dirty ashtray on the outside table and a pile of rubbish behind the cabin. Luckily we were only staying 1 night.

AustraliaThe bed is well and truly due for an update for the price you pay and it being sunken in the middle trying to climb out each time. Besides a sheet for the sofa bed there was no linen but the owner did offer to get some but we were sorted with our own sheet and blanket.
It was close to the ferry terminal for Spirit of Tasmania and lovely outlook.

AustraliaIf there could be some disposable soap bars that would be helpful. Also beds in our cabin were not very clean, we do appreciate the owner came and provided us the substitute bed sheets but unfortunately I still found insects bites on my back the next day.
The owner is very quick response to all communications and requests. We arrived late and found everything well organized, warm room and soft couch also with smart TV. The cabin is private with plenty space outside for each tenant to enjoy the peaceful night watching the silver river. We actually didn't found any mountain view but excited for animal view, my kids were really enjoyed the stay. Thank you!

AustraliaThe surroundings were very bare. It would not be good in summer as there is no shade. I was very disappointed when I went to bed and saw someone's contact lens on the bedside table. Shower screen was not clean.
