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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Staying with Sue and Patrick is a unique experience. The birds and musky rat kangaroos that they have rescued are a treat to see up close. The cottage has impressive African decor from their travels. That, combined with the tropical landscape makes you feel like you’re in an exotic location. We brought our own food to make dinner and the kitchen was more than adequate to prepare a nice dinner. We wished we could have stayed longer than one night.

GermanyVery nice place to stay. In the evening you can see a lot of mammals on the road in front of the lodge. At day time you can see a lot of birds and also the Musky Rat kangoroo. They also have a very nice kakadu as a pet.

AustraliaI love the fact that the property is on 1 acre of pure rainforest so lots of animals around and its beautiful. The people were super friendly and allowed me to sit on their balcony to watch the birds come in. There are 2 separate bedroom with an ensuite in the middle. The other bedroom was blocked off so no one else could book while i was there and the whole house i had for myself which was awesome! Breakfast was really generous.

This is like staying at a retreat. Such a beautiful fully detached cottage set in the rainforest. All the facilities, hear the birds and a beautiful verandah area to relax. Patric and Sue were the most amazing hosts. Their love of Africa adds to the charm of the stay. From filtered and bottled rainwater to drink to having a space to cook and make our own meals, this was a wonderful stay.

New ZealandSue and Patrick have spared nothing to make this the perfect stay in this beautiful environment a short drive from Kuranda township, and only 30' from busy Cairns yet a world away in this rainforest/garden environment. The bungalow is equipped with excellent cooking facilities if you would like to do your own meals, but close to Kuranda restaurants. Very tastefully decorated with an African theme. A very welcoming and friendly couple.

AustraliaThe drive is quite steep and some less mobile visitors might struggle with it. Having a car (own or hired) is pretty much essential. Wifi reception not great in rooms furthest from kitchen.
The breakfast was excellent and ample, and to have it delivered to the room by cockatoo is unique in my experience. Sue and Patrick are fine and interesting hosts - inveterate travellers themselves and wildlife carers. Feels very private and in the middle of the rainforest even though there are other properties nearby. Quirky African-themed decor is fun.

A great little bnb in the rainforests of Kuranda. Out of the main town, this house style accommodation was set amongst the forest and its birds. It was very quiet in the evening, a great place to relax. The continental beakfast we selected was excellent.
