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...).

AustraliaEverything was great. Nothing as far as we were concerned needed improving.
Our glamping tent was great - ensuite spacious bathroom, a kitchen with everything we needed, outdoor barbecue, tables and chairs on the verandah as well as on the grass in front of our tent, and a delightful fire pit to use in the evening. The view from our tent was sensational. All breakfast needs catered for and a real treat were the electric blankets on our queen size bed.

AustraliaWe loved everything!
We loved absolutely everything! Michelle (the owner) was a delightful host and nothing was too much trouble for her. The tent is a luxurious home away from home. Michelle has thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. Lovely blankets for outside use on chilly nights and mornings, a continental breakfast pack, great mini kitchen and cooking appliances, beautiful bathroom, indoor and outdoor sitting areas, an TV (my husband was so excited to be able to have all this and watch the footy) and seriously… that view!!! The rock changing colour as the sun set was incredible. Do yourself a favour and stay here - it’s just fabulous!

AustraliaThe twin beds seemed narrower than usual, but maybe that’s because we’re not used to sleeping in single beds.
Michelle was terrific from managing our booking to helping us load our gear to providing a vegetarian feast for our evening barbecue. The setting is tranquil and a perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine and watch the setting sun. The tents are well equipped and spacious.

AustraliaNot a lot of space to prepare a meal. Unavoidable though.
Top location, close to Alice but far enough away. Fabulous views from the tent and lovely bonfire set up by Michelle, our host.

AustraliaNothing. Squeaky Windmill have thought of everything.
Loved everything. Mum and I arrived having just got off the Ghan train in Alice and picked up our hire car to drive to Uluru. Squeaky Windmill was the perfect place for us to relax before the next leg of our holiday. As soon as we got comfy we sat and had a cuppa on the deck enjoying the amazing view of the ridge and the many native birds. We had ordered supplies for a BBQ dinner which was delicious (salad, steak & sausages). Beds were very comfortable. Definitely got colder overnight but lots of extra throws/blankets and electric blankets on bed. Ample delicious continental breakfast supplies were provided. Shower was also great. Check out at 11am was perfect. I would love to visit again and see more of MacDonnell ranges. We visited Simpson's Gap which was only 10 mins drive away.

AustraliaThe only downside to our stay was that a lot of tiny flies/bugs got through the fly net on the tent, which was quite annoying wen we were trying to go to sleep. Apart from this everything was great!
This was such a beautiful spot, just amazing to sit and watch the birds fly by, look at the ranges and beautiful trees and stargaze at night. The tent was very luxurious and equipped with all we needed including a great bed. The breakfast was basic but all good.
