How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewPenny and Jorg were absolutely lovely and the perfect hosts. Complete privacy, yet only a door bell ring away should we have needed anything. The room was exceptionally clean and the personally delivered breakfast to our room was delicious. The small added touches like the snacks and dram of port made the experience even better. Gorgeous property to stroll through. Highly recommended 👌

Verified reviewThe host was welcoming and made a generous and very tasty breakfast . The bed was very comfortable The fridge had cold drinks, tea and coffee supplied Good shower with plenty of hot water but over a spa bath so a clamber to get in for some people
A rundown property with lots of maintenance to be done, broken lampshade, glass doors don’t slide, blinds don’t work and more The pool was too dirty for a swim and beautiful fruit in the orchard lay rotting on the ground
We always appreciate feedback, and the lamp shade and door rollers are on our list for our maintenance period in November, among other things of course. Apologies for this inconvenience. I have checked the wooden venetian blinds and they both work fine - so Im not sure what the difficulty in operating them was. The pool is indeed a dated kidney-shaped pebble pool, and it does have a couple of rust stains on the bottom which we can do nothing about - but this has absolutely no impact on the quality of the water. My husband spends hours every week vacuuming and cleaning the pool and doing his best to keep the surrounding paved area clean. The water is crystal clear and tested every week and excellent for swimming. We use it regularly ourselves. We pick whatever fruit we need to use (and invite guests to pick as much as they would like as well) and purposefully leave the rest to rot under the trees to return the nutrients to the soil for next years crop. Its important for anyone considering booking with us to know that this is a genuine property and home - with cows and horses and a friendly pet cat. We love welcoming people to enjoy the peace and tranquility of our property. We work hard to keep the property looking as nice as possible, but it is not a manicured Port Douglas resort, and this is what most of our guests love about staying here. There will be some weeds, and we don't rake up the fallen leaves from our many trees.

Verified reviewWe greatly appreciated the hospitality and extra touches that Penny provided i.e. port to sip while soaking in the spa at the end of the day, almond milk and special breaky request. Also loved the beautiful Moroccan décor as it helped remove us from our daily experience. The resident cat and little curlew family were so sweet too! It was an ideal location to access lakes for walks, kayaking, dining, local boutiques to schmooze through. And natural attractions like the curtain fig made for a really diverse visit! At night we dined locally at a gorgeous little local restaurant (Our Place), then indulged in a moonlight visit to the curtain fig which was absolutely superb due to the full moon light and serenade of the night forest critters. All was topped off beautifully with a long soak in the spa while sipping port... so lovely!
Only one night was just a tempter..... would loved to have stayed an additional night (or 6!) Definitely need to return for a full weekend!!!
