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

Only 4 water/general purpose glasses in a kitchen with 6 of everything else and the cookware options are a bit limited.
Don’t be put off by the dated exterior - the apartment has been completely modernised and is very comfortable. It has everything needed for a longer stay and we liked the fact that condiments etc left by previous guests were left for our use. Very good quality appliances & off-street parking. Convenient location, very close to the beach.

Air con not very effective. Can really only use the 2 floor fans. The air con unit that blows out cold air whilst heating up the room at the same time. In the morning the bedrooms can get quite hot due to large windows, which only open a little bit. Probably needs ceiling fans in each room. On hot days quite stifling.
Great location, close to the beach and Bayside which has a good mall, cinema and restaurants all within easy walking distance (10 minute walk away). There is a garage which keeps car out of the sun easy fine for mid sized suv. Apartment is very spacious with good self-catering facilities.

There was nothing to dislike.
By The Beach Frankston is in a great spot, just a short walk to the beach and in a quiet location. The unit was very clean and comfortable and our hostess had left milk and some nibbles for us on our arrival. Very thoughtful. Can certainly recommend this holiday unit and would be happy to stay there again.

Parking is non existent if you have a four wheel drive. Parking not allowed on the grass but that's the only option. No way you can get in the shed. The aircon struggled on a 23 degree day so will be ineffective if temp was warmer.
Very well presented and nearly all features you need. Nice touches with milk and snacks. Plenty of space and Apple TV.

There's quite a few notes around the house. The booklet would have been enough. Cleaner turned up earlier than checkout time. Lighting around the garage would improve parking
Modern spacious house with excellent facilities and good location for beach and town. Very comfy beds and a good kitchen with excellent facilities. Bathroom has a good shower. Great TV and Internet, and also has plenty of games for guests.

Very limited ocean view. There is a pleasant garden view. Garage for parking is totally unusable except for the tiniest car and person. There is street parking available. There is a small closet in the bedroom with a very funky smell. The main closet is fine.
Location, clean, laundry, good lighting, well equipped kitchen. The owner was very accessible by text.

Great place with a view of ocean from the kitchen window. Beautiful inside; full, large modern kitchen and bath with everything available to cook anything you could want. Bedrooms were large and well appointed. It was located close to the beach and walkable to coffee, restaurants, and shopping. I easily walked to the train station and caught a train into downtown Melbourne to see the sites there. Mass transit is very good and certainly beats driving!
