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.).

New ZealandBed wasn’t overly comfortable. When sitting on it, felt creaky and like you could feel springs a bit. 2 light bulbs weren’t working and was told that electrician would have to be called and it would take a couple of days, so we were given a small lamp instead. Spa and pool didn’t look clean and peacock was hanging around pool which didn’t add confidence to pool being clean. Toilet in room had cobwebs and room diffuser needed changing and looked dirty with things floating in it. I dropped phone off shelf at back of bed and I bent to pick it up and behind bed was dirty - lots of cobwebs and dirty tissue on ground so hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
Location in nature. Sounds of birds and light in the morning.

AustraliaMy husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Azabu Retreat and Spa in celebration of his birthday. The location was ideal, offering proximity to the town while still being nestled within the tranquility of nature. Waking up surrounded by the bush was a truly refreshing experience. Additionally, the manager was exceptionally attentive, ensuring that we felt comfortable and well-cared for throughout our stay. However, due to the proximity of the cabins, there were occasions when sounds from neighboring units were audible. Nonetheless, we would certainly look forward to returning in the future

AustraliaThe rooms were so close that you could hear other people talking and their TV but only a few times, as everything else was so amazing, it didn't ruin our stay.
Absolutely loved the view and opening up the sliding doors to the nature and the birds singing was stunning. TP our host was amazing and would do anything for us, he was just so lovely. It was a magical place for our 1st wedding anniversary.

United StatesProperty could use a refresh - most of the lights in my room weren't working but told the front desk next day and he jumped right on it.
Front desk gentleman is lovely and often around for questions/help. The pool was mostly in the shade the entire time I was there so wasn't tempted to use it (also mosquitos present but room provides spray), but it was clean and had nice loungers. I would have loved to use hot tub just make sure to allow for time to let it heat up. The drive to this place is quite nice as well as it passes through a eucalyptus forest aka koala zone!

AustraliaRoom as per other reviews does need a little upkeep/TLC - not enough to detract from the overall experience but would benefit from some maintenance & attention.
Incredibly peaceful - bird calls & wind chimes coming through the open doors on the balcony. Kitchette facilities for our own breakfast. Comfy bed, Netflix, lovely pool area, cold pool on a hot humid day & the peacock welcoming committee. Staff also welcoming.

AustraliaThe outdoor balconies could use a spruce up.
Room was very cute with comfortable and provided everything we needed. It was little dated, but the Japanese styling made up for this. However I would not recommend for any one with mobility issues as there were quite a few stairs and also the shower was over a sunken bath, which was lovely, but a decent step down. Location was very nice, very quiet, ideal if you are looking for a relaxing getaway away from any crowds, However it was a little out of town and as we didn't have a vehicle we were reliant on taxis. Our host was very helpful sharing local knowledge and very good dining recommendations. Absolutely loved being greeted by the peacocks on arrival.

AustraliaIn our room we discovered the front light and back light didnt work. One of the lamps above the bed was very wiggly. The coffee mug I drank from had a couple of chips in it. The timber blind next to the bed was a little dusty. I realise we are in a nature setting but things should still work.
Our Therapist Kirstie was awesome. My partner and I both had a massage. I also had a facial. She was professional and it was so enjoyable. Thank you, it was the highlight of our stay.
