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...).

AustraliaWe loved everything about the stay.
Comfortable and well positioned room in the facility. The wonderful owners could not have been more helpful. They organised for us to charge the EV overnight given the island is still coming up to speed for the EV world. The degustation local seafood meal was absolutely superb and the breakfasts were fantastic.

ItalyNothing, all great!
Amazing location and great service! Would highly recommend! Rooms are spacious and overlook the water, you are surrounded by nature. Around the accommodation there are a couple of trails you can walk along, and a couple of really good hotels. The owner was extremely cordial and even helped us look for the koala which is usually around the hotel. Highly recommend this stay for any relax!

The location is beautiful. The rooms were very comfortable and had a wonderful view. We had dinner in our room. Excellent food and Nico owner and chef offered this service despite having an evening where he was serving a 7 course meal to a full restaurant. The breakfast was also excellent and was included in the room price. Lots of delicious homemade produce and fresh food. Would not hesitate to recommend this place. It is a family run business and they could not do more to make us welcome or to advise on places to visit and eat on the island. Hope to come again.

What a great stay we had at the River Suites! Nicolas and Dhea are the most welcoming hosts. Although the rooms are a bit outdated, they’re very clean and great value for money, and they’re to be upgraded soon. And not to mention Nicolas’ cooking skills were superb! His 7-course diner (only Thursday - Saturday) is unreal and very reasonably priced for the quality. Would definitely recommend and come back here!

SwitzerlandThe rooms are spacious and with a private balcony with a wonderful view, they do look a bit outdated and could use some "refreshing" (that being said, this is a minor critique and would never keep us from coming back as everything else was outstanding!)
Dhea and her husband were extraordinary hosts and put a lot love into their guesthouse. When we arrived we were shown one of the most warm and heartfelt welcomes we ever experienced! The breakfast was amazing and the breakfast/common area wonderfully styled. Unfortunately it was too cold to use the pool area, but it did look inviting neveretheless.

United KingdomIf there was one thing I’d say that needs to be improved, I’d suggest maybe modernising the bathroom so it’s in line with the style of the rest of the room. This isn’t a bit issue though, the bathrooms were still nice and there was hot water.
The location is good as it’s closing to Kingscote, but also to Vivonne Bay Area. Dhea and the other staff member were both very welcoming and kind people. The rooms are well kept and modern and the view from the balcony on the room was stunning, especially in the morning when the sun rises over the water. The breakfast room was so cute and neatly furnished, there was also a pool which we didn’t use but was nice to know there was one there if we wanted to use it. I wanted to make my last night with my boyfriend special so I asked for a bottle of wine to be put in the room to which Dhea did for me. The last place I stayed at didn’t do this for me even though they said they would. I’m so grateful for everything they did for us and I highly recommend staying here.
