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 ZealandThe room was slightly rundown, the tap for the cold water in the shower had tiles broken around it.
The waterpark and pool where an absolute hit with the kids, despite the pool not being heated. The dogs loved the off leash dog area to burn off their last bit of energy before bed.

AustraliaIt has a very similar name to the other beach resort in Ballina and I went to the other one first by mistake.
It had all the amenities and was very close to the beach.

BrazilI believe the hotel has more of the profile to accommodate families, children and youth as they have a water park, barbecues and a lot of outdoor space for sports and cycling. It's perfect for those who want to spend time inside the camping. For solo travels and those exploring the country, the location was not suitable as it's very isolated and it takes a good 30 km to reach the closest city.
The staff is super attentive and will try to accommodate your needs. The space is great and clean, with comfortable beds and pillows. The tents are well structured, with an internal sink that helps and an AC that also works as a heater during the winter.

AustraliaDue to the secluded location, there’s no other shops unless you drive 30 minutes into Ballina. The hours of the cafe - it’s quite hard to try get to the cafe and order dinner by 545pm (as they close at 6pm) as many people are wanting to order. So we didn’t bother. The cafe opening hours in the morning aren’t until 830am or just after and that’s a little late for breakfast for (some) children, or to even get a nice morning coffee. We didn’t have coffee available in the cabin we stayed as it wasn’t stocked. It would be beneficial to know prior that dogs aren’t allowed on the beach / walking track and that there are no other shops nearby. It is good there’s a few groceries onsite, however it is expensive.
The location is very secluded and amongst beautiful setting with the river and beach right there. The staff when checking in and were friendly and even allowed a slightly earlier check in as the room was ready. The facilities are fantastic from what we saw (we didn’t visit any laundry or rec rooms), especially for those who have children. We stayed in a cabin with our toddler and 2 dogs and it was very comfortable (except the dripping shower head).

AustraliaWe would have loved for the cafe to be open for breaky, lunch and dinner and most of all coffee.
So many things! We adored luxury glamping, the kid’s facilities, close proximity to a stunning beach, option to hire fire pits even though we weren’t able to while we were there.
