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.).

AustraliaNothing to do with the property itself - but beware of some leeches that come with the rainforest territory! The bed isn’t the most comfortable but will definitely do for a night or so.
Beautiful landscaping, perfect swing to lie on outside whilst having a tea in the morning. Amazing standalone bath and has all the basic amenities (toaster, microwave, kettle, coffee machine)

AustraliaThe electric fire didn't warm up the place as much as we'd hoped so we were a little chilly but soon warmed up with a bath!
Such a cosy cabin, gorgeous bath, great communication with the owners and very easy check in. Feels like you're in the countryside with waking up to only the sounds of birds - but still an easy walk into the local town. Free parking is also always a bonus! Thanks so much for a lovely night away.

The cabin was perfect. It was so well appointed and sits within an idyllic garden setting which makes you feel like you have stepped into a luxury resort. We were on a business trip and Koompartoo Retreat was a lovely surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the picturesque town of Belligen and the retreat made it a highlight of our trip.

AustraliaThe bathrobes - I like mine cotton - natural fibres. Maybe some extra towels as well enjoyed the bath so between showering before the bath, then bath…
Everything from the sun in the face on the verandah in the morning to the so so comfortable bed. The bath was sensational and basically the setting sublime. Sadly we had just one night in this paradise. Quiet luxurious heavenly place. The wood detail is amazing.

AustraliaIt needed some foot stools for the lounge to be comfy for 2 to relax with feet up otherwise I think it was a great little place to escape.
At first I was sad that the fire was electric but as it was cold and wet, it ended up being great. We didn't have to do the hard work in keeping a fire lit. Nice comfy bed and room. Great it had coffee pods and even bath salts. Loved the big bath in the room to relax.

Beautifully presented and comfortable space with all amenities we could think of. For a cabin in the "wildèness" the level of finish is superb and great touches, which show a lot of thought has gone into preparing the cabin.
