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 aircon from upstairs was leaking onto our bedroom aircon and you could hear the constant dripping. The wifi in the room wasn’t that crash hot and it kept logging it our devices. The exhaust fans weren’t working that well during our showers.
The beds were good to sleep on. The room and location was close to everything we wanted to do in Cairns. It was clean enough as apartments go.

AustraliaSome maintenance required on the apartments. New shower heads perhaps and a bit of a revamp to make it a little more modern but otherwise very comfortable and good value for money.
Fantastic location within walking distance to the bars and restaurants on the esplanade without being right on top of it. Hotel staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to help us out. Accommodation was comfortable and clean, perfect for an affordable family vacation. The set up of our two bedroom apartment was ideal with the rooms being separated by the two bathrooms and laundry. The Bay Leaf restaurant was wonderful. Staff were friendly and the food delicious.

AustraliaNo view from the room. Felt like being in a prison. The accommodation needs a facelift, living room, bedroom and bathroom. Paint colours are dull and furniture needs upgrading as well.
The bed was comfortable. The main pool area and reception had a very inviting feel when you walked in. The staff were friendly and nothing was a chore for them. The Restaurant was really good and always busy.

AustraliaI'd stayed a few times before as I had a daughter in Cairns hospital. When I booked through booking com this time I asked for ground floor and early check-in which the hotel kindly agreed to so I went ahead with the booking. My daughter was quite sick so I wanted to have somewhere to take her after the doctors discharged her at 11am. When we turned up the early check-in was not available and the unit was on the second floor. She couldn't go up the stairs. It was a bit of a cluster cuss and they obviously hadn't read the booking properly. I'd advise anyone booking with family members at the hospital and similar circumstances to phone them directly and check they've read the booking requests properly. If I had known the unit couldn't be ready at discharge I'd have booked somewhere else.
The location opposite the hospital was excellent. Easy walk to the Esplanade and into town. Nice pool and great restaurant.

AustraliaJust a bit too far to walk to town each day (approx 20+mins) in the humidity and carrying beach gear. We then used Cairns taxis which took a few minutes to town and it was under $10 each trip.
Our studio was clean, tidy and big enough for us (Mum, Dad and 10 yr old). Pool and bar literally outside our door. Happy hour in the afternoon was great for a pre-dinner drink. Booked a tour and reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaThe location was OK, but is a little bit out of the city centre. It was about a 10-20 minute walk to the main area. This would be something to keep in mind if you are travelling with young children, or have limited walking capacities. The wifi connection was unstable at times throughout my stay.
The staff were lovely and always incredibly helpful - A massive thank you to Danielle who was there to let me in 11:30pm when my flight was late! The breakfast buffet was well worth the $16, (book at the reception the night before for a discount too!). The room was basic and clean and the bed was comfy. Would stay again!
