Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

AustraliaAccess to staff for assistance was limited as we spent most days off the island and the office hours were very restricted (and not always available within the advertised hours). Security is available at all hours but were unable to help, despite us being told that they could.
Wonderful location with great (and clean) amenities. Plenty of things do do on the island as well as an easy trip to the city to venture further.

AustraliaA small issue is the tourists wandering into the property not realising it was private.The front door had to be locked at all times. We even had someone ask if they could come and look inside the house. Some sort of easy to manage lock on the gate would be great.
We stayed in one of the houses and it was a wonderful family adventure. The garden was great to relax in and take in the contestant changing activities on the harbour while the kids played. It was also a great island to explore. Getting around by ferry was also fun for everyone, we could get wherever we wanted on the harbour quickly and easily.

AustraliaOnce we realised what cockatoo island was and all the history it made sense the only trouble I had was trying to use the hot plate
When we first arrived we were horrified thinking what are we in for but then we were told I booked a whole house I was shocked The outside we thought we were going to an old derelict house but inside was like a palace. It wasn’t until later we discovered the history of cockatoo island and then it all made sense.

AustraliaTents too much on top of each other. Be better to have them spread further apart to enjoy being away camping The Sat night movie offer did not suit the boys - 3 kids watching in the end. Had a scout group there and they could not get out fast enough…
The experience at night was awesome for the kids. Haunted island. They loved roaming with all the kids through tunnels and the whole precinct.
