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 are 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 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 location , decor , spotlessly clean rooms , and attention to detail was excellent. Ease of parking and a short stroll to beach or yen on a couple of minutes away . The most helpful and genuinely friendly hosts made us feel most welcome. The beautiful Bali style pool is big enough for all guests to enjoy and as a bonus there is also a hot tub . We can’t wait to stay here again .

AustraliaWe were only given one bath towel each for the entire stay. I text the owner to ask for more and got told no, you only have one for the stay. For the price and star rating, you normally expect two towels, or at least one for the pool. And the towel was not cleaned / changes for the four nights we were there. There wasn't much space to hang clothes, or to dry towels. There were also two guys living at the back of the property 'looking after it for the owner', who spent a lot of time walking around, it felt a bit weird. You didn't know when they would appear.
Location is spot on - 5 mins walk out of town. Can't beat that. The hot tub and swimming pool is a great combination even in winter! But the pool is ice cold - beware :-) Beds were super comfy, outdoor space was also great. You don't hear anything from the main road

AustraliaWow! Such an amazing place run by an amazing team! Went for a girls trip away and was not disappointed! On arrival we were greeted with smiling faces and a beautiful layout of the place with such an easy check in and check out service. We had been offered and accepted a very delicious cheese board by the managers whom were very warm and welcoming. We stayed in the apartment called, “The Pass” is amazing for two people. The ammenities such as the spa was our favourite spot to be, along with the most comfy bed! Such a lovely environment that we were also able to enjoy the night sitting by the pool with the other guests! Overall, we were incredibly impressed, 10/10 will be back and 100% would recommend to anyone and everyone!

AustraliaHoped I might be able to connect to Netflix via the room Tv, but were unable too, not that it bothered us!
Awesome location. Lovely, clean and comfortable room. Having a spa in the evening was an added bonus! We didn't encounter the staff the whole of our stay, which made our stay more private which I quite enjoyed. In saying that, reception is close by if we did need to speak to staff. Communicating with team Azur via text was convenient.

AustraliaMsg to The AZUR Team or whoever this is. Upon arriving at your accommodation on said date at approximately 2pm I was unable to contact your establishment to enquire of arrival and how to check in. Short time later received a msg through WhatsApp which I rarely use so did not expect msg from that platform as booked accommodation through booking.com. Upon entering unit we discovered unclean unit with food items left in fridge, bin was not emptied and toiletry items had not been replenished. Further fans in rooms were filthy with dust, found TV was not functioning, outside spa was broken and so called security parking with code provided proved useless as gate did not close and for that matter was open when we arrived also your front entrance security gate was unlocked and ajar!! You must be a very trustworthy establishment of all outsiders but not to your guests!! DISGUSTING and a DISGRACEFUL EFFORT..and to date Azur still has not returned any of my calls….
Comfortable bed. Spacious unit.

AustraliaThe shower needs work. Silicone peeling off and mould. There was no where to eat except outside which resulted in mozie bites. And some little side tables next to the couch would be great. Somewhere to put a drink. And more mugs. I had to keep washing them as there was only 2. And please buy better toilet paper. Sounds silly but cheap toilet paper is just yuck.

AustraliaPeople were upstairs and we could hear every single foot step. They decided to, what sounded like a tap dance, at any given chance. There is CONSTRUCTION happening next door which meant at 7am EVERY MORNING there is drilling, banging and loud noises. You can’t use the pool because there are workmen watching your every move. Our room was a perfect location for them to see so we had to have blinds down most of our time there. We couldn’t access the bins to put our own rubbish away. It felt odd that we had to leave it at the front of our property.
Great location. Being able to walk into town without a long walk or commute.

AustraliaI would not recommend anyone to book the front house. Misleading advertising on booking.com provides a price for the 3-bedrooms but on arrival they tried to charge per room rate. Nobody answered the phone numbers provided and no email replies either. They did waive the fee but it is misleading and disruptive to your stay. I understand the need for security but the noise in the front bedroom is disgraceful. Every time the sensor went off a pre-recorded voice announcing you are being recorded is blasted into the bedroom at any time of the day and night! We also booked on short notice a few days prior but had to cancel and re-book. We did not get a refund and was not able to re-book another night. Yes, I read the booking policy but quite frankly it does not pass the pub test. Instead, we had to pay for another night. We Overall, a poor experience by Azur and bookings.com.

AustraliaStaying at Azur was a horrible experience. We weren’t notified of the ongoing construction site next door and when we asked to check out early hotel management were incredibly difficult to deal with. They are living in Bali and were non responsive until we asked booking.com for support. They refused to let us check out early and lied saying there was no way to put info about the ongoing construction on their booking.com ad or their own site.
It was clean and would have been comfortable were it not for the extremely loud construction site next door.

AustraliaWe stayed from Monday to Friday and apparently they don’t make up the room?? I had to specifically ask for clean towels etc and they said we don’t provide housekeeping however because you are a “long stay we will do it”. Really we were paying $1000!! We should have been informed of the construction next door had we known about it we would not have stayed! The units all look at each other so no privacy unless your curtains were drawn? The bathroom was huge however the vanity is tiny and it was hard to accommodate two peoples things. The decking around the courtyard is overbearing and the view is obstructed by fencing everywhere and the nail heads on the decking are starting to protrude which caught our feet several times so they need attending to. The fly wire door was jamming and became frustrating.
It’s in a good location a short stroll to town and the beach. The bed was very comfortable. Terrific size television. Nice feel in the room. Off street parking.

AustraliaEverything as above. Staff, environment is not safe for women staying. Loud and noisy from 7am when the construction starts and it doesn’t end till 4pm in the afternoon.
Nothing this place is far from an acceptable place to stay. Worst experience I have ever had. There are 3 construction sights around the hotel and the pool has no privacy. I am a women and didn’t feel I could sit comfortably at the pool due to work man peering over on top of roofs while working. We also had a workman enter our room while we were getting ready to look at the switch box. He didn’t even ask. The staff are unhelpful and should even be there, there is no receptionist and only a lady that cleans the rooms. She mentioned she was unable to help us but sits at the reception desk. Very bizarre and a terrible place to stay.

United StatesDo not book this location if you have come to Byron Bay to relax. This hotel is located next door to a building site, where they start working at 7AM every morning during the week.The noice is at times horrific and makes it impossible to use the pool and the deck, amenities that you are in fact paying for. When we approached management regarding the noice and lack of information thereof, we were told we should have read the reviews on the website better , since a few guests prior, had complained about the construction before, and we should therefor have been aware of it. Really?! No, I do NOT recommend this hotel.
