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.).

I loved this place - it reminded me of 'Home and Away' and the staff were super friendly. Delicious breakfast and fantastic pub in the village which served great food. Much nicer than we thought it would be and we highly recommend. Kangaroo Island has been the highlight of our time in Australia so far and definitely worth visiting.

AustraliaCentral location in Penneshaw. Comfortable largish motel style room with seaward facing balcony. We were there in winter so didn’t make use of the facilities and there was some maintenance, renovation work happening. Reception staff were friendly/helpful. Easy access to ferry in morning. Also didn’t partake of onsite breakfast. Crockery and cutlery supplied but no toaster or microwave.

AustraliaI thought the breakfast was a little expensive so we declined and picked up something from the IGA around the corner.
We arrived by ferry which is about 500m from the hotel and were able to check in straight away. It was great to be able to park across the road, unpack and relax on the balcony as the sunset and admire the view.

AustraliaThe grounds were undergoing an upgrade, so currently it's a bit all over the place outside, but by summer I'm sure it will be amazing
The staff were super accommodating after multiple ferry cancellations due to weather conditions.

AustraliaNo major defects. All good.
Situated in Penneshaw, which is not the largest town, but it is close to the ferry terminal. Also close to pub, the town's main eating place for tourists. The hotel was comfortable and clean and the staff were very pleasant. They will make a ferry booking for you at a discounted price, when you book a hotel room.

AustraliaOur room didn’t have a toaster but we had friends staying too & their room did.
Overnight stay prior to doing a circuit of the island. Comfortable, clean & tidy with private balcony having an outlook to the ocean. Pool area looked good although too cold when we were there. Reception staff were polite & accommodating. The pub easy stroll for dinner & drinks. IGA close for any grocery items.

United KingdomRoom cleanliness and facilities average. Our garden Villa patio had an ashtray full of cigarette butts and a dirty table that hadn’t been cleaned and the room was very dark. The Sorrento room was ok but smelt a bit of drains and only had a communal balcony off a separate door in the hallway . They do provide tea/ coffee facilities however and an iron and hairdryer in rooms plus a fridge which is useful. Probably worth upgrading to the Seaview rooms for a balcony and view.Hotel was full when we visited so we could only get a garden villa and a Sorrento room. Would have liked a communal lounge and a bar area to sit and relax in.
Breakfast was very good, lots of choice available and eggs cooked to order. Breakfast venue had a lovely sea view and outside seating as well as inside. Hotel doesn’t have a restaurant/ cafe for snacks or dinner but there are places nearby to eat and a well stocked supermarket nearby too. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for short stays as it’s close to the ferry terminal with lovely sea views. Ideal for families as it has mini golf and a swimming pool.
