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...).

AustraliaOur cabin was one of the only cabins that didn’t have a view of the Zoo which we were looking forward to.
The property was located right next to the Zoo. It was clean and comfortable and they had the AC on before we arrived You get a 10% discount at the shop when you stay at the Zoo. That was a nice surprise.

AustraliaNo improvements necessary!
Loved the location! I didn't realise it would be so close to the zoo and I could see the giraffes wandering around! So beautiful and graceful! On top of this a family of kangaroos came bouncing through the grass and stopped in front of the cabin's front porch where I was working outside. Just charming. I loved the feeling of the outdoors after a long drive from Sydney and big day of work indoors. Absolutely wonderful. The checkin was seamless and easy to find the cabin. Very clean and great facilities.

AustraliaAlthough the website mentioned that breakfast was included, this was not the case during our stay. Additionally, it would be helpful to provide some form of transport arrangement for guests staying in cabins and lodges, as we were unable to find any taxi or Uber services in the morning. If you book Lodge 3, please note that the view of the animals is obstructed by two lodges in front.
The cleanliness of the property and all its facilities was excellent, and we truly appreciated the well-maintained environment.

Australia1. We have 2 kids sleeping together so neither bedroom has big enough bed to sleep 2 adults with 2 kids in the middle. We had to join two single beds together however a bit squeezed. 2. The cutlery is good but lack of a knife sharpener.
The property is clean and comfortable and close to the zoo. In the evening kangaroos are coming and there is a playground my children like it very much.

We had a little mishap during checkin, the staff quickly resolved it. All the staff we met are so friendly. The cabin is very clean and comfortable. It has everything we need during the stay (the only thing missing is hair dryer) , even a Weber for BBQ. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it for sure!
