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...).

AustraliaGreat location, lovely and comfortable newly fitted out rooms, great view of American River, fast wifi. Excellent restaurant for local seafood delights - among the best seafood meal we have ever had. Friendly and hospitable owners/hosts. The parking area was being updated while we were there in early March (it’s located on a steep hill) - so the parking challenge will be solved in the near future.

Amazing recently refurbished hotel in American River. The rooms were spacious and super comfy beds. We actually spotted the glossy black cockatoo from our balcony. The hosts were super friendly and served a delicious breakfast every morning and we went for their 7 course fine dining for dinner where we got to watch sunset and was the best meal we had on the island hands down

AustraliaAll great.
Travelling with my sister, we loved every minute of our stay at The River Suites. From the delightful breakfast (with very relaxing background music), lovely rooms with the most spectacular views (we left drapes open to see the beautiful sunrises) and choice of comfy pillows, River Suites delivers. Owners Nicolas and Dhea are delightful and we'd highly recommend having dinner at their Samphire Restaurant ... local seafood degustation was superb. Flavours exquisite... nothing not to love. These guys deserve every support and success. You won't be sorry!!

AustraliaNothing! They were building new car spaces, very quietly which when finished will make this perfect!
Exceptionally clean, well thought out and appointed room with a beautiful water view and balcony. Modern furnishings which someone clearly took some time to put together. Quality linen, bedding and towels. The continental breakfast was much appreciated each day by my husband whilst I enjoyed a nespresso on the balcony watching the sun rise over the waters. Bathroom was clean, water pressure perfect with the kitchenette well appointed with necessities such as Nespresso, teas & microwave. Good sized wardrobe, big screen TV, big lounge & even a dining table. After our first use of the shower we returned to find our room made up and our lovely hosts even popped a shelf into the shower for all our toiletries which they took off the floor & placed on the shelf. Its the thoughtfulness and added attention to detail which made our stay extra special. Our hosts were friendly, warm and inviting. They got our room ready early for us after having to catch the early ferry to the island. Couldn’t recommend this beautiful suite more and I am fussy (according to my husband!).

A very picturesque location overlooking the river, a gorgeous room, especially beautiful lighting used, easy parking, a super cute resident dog and a fantastic degustation dinner in the restaurant Samphire. Not to mention the breakfast included with incredible homemade jams and marmalade! Despite the power going out for an hour the coffee machine was operational and saved the day!

AustraliaAbsolutely, here's your glowing review for The River Suites Kangaroo Island: --- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **A Perfect Stay at The River Suites Kangaroo Island!** Our experience at The River Suites Kangaroo Island was nothing short of fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine smile. The owner couldn't have been more hospitable, ensuring every detail was perfect for our stay. The room itself was immaculate, modern, and tastefully decorated. It was evident that a lot of thought and care had gone into the presentation. The cleanliness was impeccable, which made our stay incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was the fantastic coffee made by the owner. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious cup that set the tone for a wonderful day exploring Kangaroo Island. It’s little touches like this that truly make The River Suites stand out. In short, our time at The River Suites was delightful. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay on Kangaroo Island!
