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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

- No wifi and no telephone signal - Expensive restaurant, small portions and got a half raw hamburger (twice! Even after sending back). - There are no 2 restaurants, they both serve the same (very limited) menu. - Amenditites block quite far and only 3 showers per sexe for all these tents. - NO PROPER KITCHEN FACILITIES! You can't cook dinner here, only on a bbq and there are not even utensils for this. You have to bring that yourselves, but then you would have gone camping! - Expensive tent - AC was not strong enough to cool properly, still hot! - No signs in the park, no efficient walkways
- Our tent was nicely located on the side, however all other tents had a view on other tents and not nicely on the green as shown in the pictures - Convenient that we had glass doors, letting in a lot of light - Nice swimming pool - Perfect location for yellow river cruise - Clean floor mats for the shower

You have 2 restaurants that both sell the same thing. And you have to go outside to the bar yourself to get your meal even if eating inside the restaurant. Only found this out by a hand gesture from a frowning, rude female staff member indicating to go outside. The equally rude male staff member who served us never told us.
The pool was great and the front manager and the shop staff we met were very helpful

The communal kitchenette area for the glamping was not very well stocked with bowls, utensils etc. So don't expect to be preparing anything too complex to eat.
Cooinda Lodge is set right in the middle of the beautiful monsoon forest of Kakadu national park. Very close to all the tourist attractions, cruises of yellow water billabong actually leave from the resort. Wildlife abound, you can actually spot crocs in the home billabong within the resort in the morning. The glamping tents were spotless clean, nicely decorated and relatively private. Air conditioning was necessary in December and very effective. Restaurant is pricey but so is everything in the area, they do have a decent happy hour each day. Food was tasty and catered for different dietary requirements. Free laundry and the pool is excellent with loungers and shaded areas out of the sun. Definitely the b st hotel option within Kakadu
