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.).

AustraliaThe cabins were very comfortable and spacious with a good size kitchen. Cabins felt private and hotel facilities were great. The food at the restaurant was enjoyable and loved being immersed in the wildlife - plenty of birds and rabbits.

TaiwanWe had to pay for the karts. I thought it was included.
The house is wonderful which is fully equiped. The heater was working excellently. The resort was surrounded by green and animals. I was woken up by birds in the morning.

SingaporeWe encountered a rat in the room that ate one of our instant noodles, which was concerning. Additionally, while the living room had a heater, the sleeping room did not, which made it a bit uncomfortable during colder nights. Overall, it was a welcoming stay with some issues that could be improved.
The hotel is well-equipped with all the cooking essentials, generally clean, and up to standard, making us feel welcomed during our stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the presence of wild animals around the premises added a unique touch to the experience.

AustraliaWhile the bed was generally nice, its "floaty" nature meant that one person's movement significantly disturbed the other, making it feel like being "out on the waves on a small life raft." The split system air conditioner's fan was too noisy to run at night, and the standalone heater provided simply displayed an error when turned on. Coupled with the absence of electric blankets, mornings were quite chilly. Although generally quiet, there was some noisy wildlife activity in the middle of the night. The most significant negative was the Club Wyndham sales process. What began as an offer for a free lunch and a $100 Woolworths voucher turned into a high-pressure timeshare sales pitch. While the free lunch was pleasant, the sales presentation felt inescapable unless we committed to a purchase. This experience has made us hesitant to return to any Wyndham resort in the future, as we prefer to avoid such pushy sales tactics while on holiday.
Our four-night stay at the Ramada Resort by Wyndham Phillip Island offered a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the area. The studio accommodation was perfectly sized and cosy for two. We appreciated its prime location, being very close to the Penguin Parade and even closer to Cowes township, yet far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. The resort itself was clean and well-maintained, offering all the amenities one could want, even if some, like the pools, were less utilised during the off-season. A standout feature was the excellent internet service, providing a fast and strong signal via a dedicated Wi-Fi point in our cabin. The kitchen was well-equipped with hotplates, a microwave, a dishwasher, and an oven, which was very handy. We also found the electric car charging options to be a significant plus, with the convenience of slow charging at our cabin and faster, free on-site chargers just a short walk away that were not busy. When we encountered a hot water issue, the staff were quick to resolve it, which was reassuring. The spa bath in the room was delightful, offering instant hot water, ensuring no worries about running out. We enjoyed being surrounded by the local wildlife during the day.

AustraliaBathroom door was a little jammed. But shouldn’t allow kids in the sauna, and was super loud being next to the pool and spa where the kids took over screaming and running around. So much pool water in it. Kids also took over the spa so we didn’t get a chance to use it.
Sauna was great. Restaurant was great. Good price. Little pod thing was super lovely with greenery and a back verandah. Felt private and was lovely and quiet during day and night. Good heating too and nice spa bath. Loved having a kitchenette too.

Hong KongThe villa is a bit old. There’s no heating in the room and the blankets are thin. It was v cold at night. I had to put on extra jumper to be able to sleep. It would be good if the colour of the lighting can be changed to warm yellow, but not white as it gives it like a hospital vibe instead of a warm holiday house.
Lots of facilities in the hotel. We had a fun stay! Location is good for us to see penguins! Everything is clean, including glasses and plates in the kitchen. The washing machine and dryer were great! However it wasn’t advertised in the booking page. But it was a nice surprise! Staff are friendly!

AustraliaThe kitchen could be better equipped, e.g. there wasn’t any microwave containers provided, no serving crockery such as a salad bowl, only 2 small stainless steel mixing bowls, etc. The location of the actual microwave was, in my opinion, quite dangerous.
Great location - close to the town of Cowes. The facilities at the resort catered for all age groups. Surrounded by nature.

AustraliaThe only thing was the floors were wet in the hallway, ladies showers , making it extremely slippery and as it was a cold day they didn’t look like drying at all. My grandson went flying . Also after a swim and then getting changed in the ladies change room/showers there were no benches to sit on or put your clothes and shoes down. Made it extremely hard to get all of us changed without our clothes and towels getting wet on the already wet floor. Hooks and benches please! And non slip matting too
Cabin (3 bedrooms) was fantastic. Very spacious and comfortable. My daughter & I both agreed that the beds were firm, and at first were concerned but then slept like logs! Bathroom spotless, sparkling! Thankyou to housekeeping. LOVED the cafe coffee . Perfect and ended up having two
