Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The road noise was terrible as we were located very close to the main road, which is unavoidable for some of the cabin area. However, the back section away from the road noise was for caravans and campers down by a beautiful waterway and seemed much quieter nestled in the trees with birdsong.
Reception staff amazing.👏 cleaning staff also very responsive. We stayed in a cabin at the front of the park, which was nicely renovated and very clean. The bed was super comfy.

Random children on bikes and playing chase a danger to camp traffic and themselves but camp officials notified campers of the danger via text.. Nearby traffic noise obvious but muted by foliage and fence.
Camp site clean and well set out. River near by created a peaceful feeling and a beach area for swimming aside from the camp pool. Well planed site with cabins and camp areas .

Nothing.
I met Lynne when I checked in...she was super helpful, with a warm & cheerful manner. She went above and beyond what is the norm (from my experiences). She gave me several ideas for activities whilst I was in Cairns...and a helpful booklet that introduced me to a few places I'd not seen or heard of before. Full size fridge was excellent...location was easy to get to and close to a number of places that I subsequently visited.

Ants were present in the room from the moment we went in and the aircon leaked. The room was very cramped. Was very expensive for what we got. I would have expected more for that price
Easy access to facilities and the pool was clean and good size. Staff were nice and the coffee van sold good coffee.

The bathroom was very small for us. We couldn't turn freely and close the door because it was tight. The double bed took up most of the space making it difficult for us to put our bags and pack. It was just too tight for us. We brought things outside and packed them. Nice place bit it would be nice to have a little bit of space inside.
The place was good.

Some accommodations are a little older but renovated and very clean. Getting the shower to the right temperature was a real pain (Unit 9).
Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Very quiet family park after hours. Adjacent a large, beautiful dog park where there is also a swimmable creek and a 5km long creekside bike path which is separated from a road.
