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 apartment is quite tired, with a lot of damage to walls and skirting boards - it actually appears to have been flooded at some point. There were no TVs in the bedrooms, despite having the antennas hanging there. Furniture was tired and damaged. There was a lot of wear and tear in this apartment, random hooks and holes in the walls. There was no bathroom door in the ensuite room, which was particularly annoying as who wants or needs to listen to anyone in the loo. The laundry had a very strong mouldy smell, which was unpleasant, and the clothes airer was broken and unusable. I also removed rubbish from under the beds from the previous occupiers. For the price we paid for 4 nights accommodation and the location, it was disappointing to note so many issues.
We had a pleasant stay at Mariners North. We had a spacious apartment that overlooked the stand, the ocean, and we could even see Magnetic Island quite well. We had 2 bathrooms, which was excellent when travelling with a teen who enjoys her own space. The staff were fabulous on check in, we were actually able to check in early, which was fabulous after being in a hot car for several hours. The pool and spa areas were great. We spent quite a bit of time there.

AustraliaNot a dislike, more an improvement - no doona on the beds? Just a sheet. Was a bit disappointing. Would have liked a fully made up bed for the price you could just climb into, not drag a blanket out of the cupboard to make it yourself.
Reception lady was above and beyond when it came to customer service. Nothing was a hassle. Beautiful views, really impressed with the location. The apartment was huge, much bigger than the photos show.

AustraliaThe apartment we were in had kitchen appliances that were old and need replacing.
The position of the property is hard to beat. All apartments have water views of the Coral Sea and balconies to enjoy the warmth and the views. The staff are very welcoming and responded to our needs in a very timely fashion.

AustraliaCould hear the units above and next every time they dragged out a chair. We enjoyed our view but we assumed ocean view would be a clear view and not on the bottom floor.
Very large 2 bedroom unit with the bottom floor rooms having access out the front and back.

AustraliaThis wasn't an issue for us, but some people might find the stairs to the apartment a bit of a challenge as there is no lift access. The lounge could do with replacing, it was quite dusty/old smelling, flared up the sinuses every time I sat on it. With this said, I've stayed before and I would definitely stay again.
The location is perfect and the view is stunning. Easy walk to shops, pool and restaurants along the strand. The apartment complex, pool area, gardens etc are very well cared for.

AustraliaAccess was a pain!! Family stayed on another level and was a pain every time we wanted to go up or they come down, opted to take the stairs after a wedding an the Saturday night and got stuck between level 5-6 at 1am!! Luckily was able to call a family member to come otherwise would have been interesting. I would not like to be stuck on this hotel if there was a fire or other emergency
