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.).

Absolutely beautiful and romantic. The view is amazing, the bath is huge, the atmosphere is very romantic. There is even a sauna which is very relaxing.

AustraliaVery quiet, secluded hideaway in the trees. Slept so deeply! Would have used all the facilities more if weather had been warmer - sauna and pool very inviting. We liked being out of town a bit … need your own transport to stay here.

A unique, stunning, romantic, quiet and relaxing location. Owner Antje was lovely and made you feel at home. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed. There are only two separate rooms/buildings and they have stunning private 180 deg views into the rainforest sitting up high in the rain forest. This place is a hidden gem. I don't want to say too much more as i fear the more people who know how good this place is the harder it will be for us to rebook this place in the future.

AustraliaThere was an issue with the tap in my room over the bathroom sink in which it was loose and hard to switch on and off. This is not an issue for future customers as the owners were pulling out the whole sink and fixtures and putting new ones in after we left that day.
I loved the rainforest setting of the property. I am a Buddhist who meditates, so turning the lights off at night and meditating to the sounds of the wildlife around me was surreal. Access to the pool, BBQ and sauna was part of the deal. The property owners were a really nice, hospitable couple in Antje and Ben for whom nothing was too much for and were really helpful in getting me and my friend settled in after a three and a half hour flight from Sydney.

United KingdomIt wasn't a big problem for us, but worth being aware there are no curtains, so the bedroom is open to the rainforest on two glass sides. You're not in view of any other properties, but a little disconcerting at first. The tap in the room was a bit temperamental to manage the pressure of, and had created some damp in the cupboard underneath.
Beautiful little cabin right on the edge of the rainforest, but still within a short drive of the centre of cairns. Incredible to wake up to the sight and sound of the rainforest. Well equipped with a bbq and a pool between the two cabins. Antje and her family were super friendly hosts, thank you very much Antje!

AustraliaBeautiful, quiet, stunningly appointed and designed place. Just two cabins apart from the main house, with an infinity pool looking out onto the neighbouring forest with a little sauna too. Loved showering surrounded by views of the foliage outside the window. Only met the hosts briefly but they were very friendly, and late check in was very straightforward. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a few days immersed in tropical plant and bird life (while still being close enough to the other beautiful attractions of Cairns and surrounds). I would definitely recommend this place!

AustraliaFew bugs around but it’s a given as we’re in the rainforest!! But also the key code to the door was a bit fiddly and sometimes took me 5 minutes to get in haha - also please be mindful the driveway is VERY steep, so if you have a low car, best to park out the front
