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 lack of a lift - so many stairs. Being so close to the seafront and the cafe meant it was occasionally very noisy. Also motorbikes made a lot of noise late at night.
Across road from seafront. Apartment had long verandah with comfortable outdoor furniture. Manager very helpful.

New ZealandWould be good to of had a better frying pan or even an electric one. It would be nice to cook something at accommodation instead of eating out every night. Especially after a busy day out.
The location was excellent, just across the road from the beach, and cafe. Pool was excellent especially after very hot days. Nice and quiet at night, if there us a band across the road it's only from 4-6pm.

United KingdomWe requested a late check out as we had a late flight but this was not possible. Maybe hotel could consider this sort of request in future if it is prebooked at a reasonable fee.
Balcony and sea views. Spacious and well decorated room. Huge bed. Nice pool. Helpful staff when we asked for a better view and we were allowed to use the pool until we leave the area on check out day. Initially we were given a ground floor apartment with no view for our last night in Australia. However, thankfully staff managed to relocate us to the first floor level, which was much appreciated.

United StatesThere was a bit of an issue with little tiny ants in the apartment. I'm sure they didn't take much, but they were a bit annoying.
Lovely location. Fabulous pool. Excellent balcony. Great parking area. Easy access. Quiet neighborhood. The restaurant across the street did have a jazz session going on a couple of nights, but they were really good, played good music and quit at a very decent hour. I liked sitting on the balcony and listening to it.

United KingdomThe kitchen could have been cleaner. Cutlery and cutlery drawer were dirty. Communication could have been better, some of it came across as spam and not actually from the resort.
Location is by the beach. Everything happens during the day and is quite quiet at night, which was ideal for us. Late check in procedure worked perfectly.

AustraliaOnly minor issue is availability of WIFI and 4G/5G in the area the resort is located.
I stayed for 9 nights in this resort (in beach view room) and am very happy with the accommodation. It has almost all basic amenities you need like an induction stove, microwave, washing machine, dryer, toaster etc. I also used the swimming pool which was a great addition to our stay. The location of the resort was ideal for me as it was close 10-15 min drive (as I had a hire car) to Cairns CBD. Also, because it avoids the traffic lights of Cairns, it took less time to get to other places outside Cairns city centre such as Kuranda Skyrail, Atherton, Port Douglas, Mossman, Gorge etc. I will definitely return again to this accommodation if I cone Cairns again :)

United KingdomThe fact that they are individually owned as stated meant that ours was nothing like the pictures and was a bit tired…. But at the end of day it was just a base and had everything we needed.
It’s a beautifully maintained pool area and gardens, the staff were very helpful. I would say a car is a definite if you want to get places although there is a regular bus service a few yards from resort but it stops quite early in evening. There are a couple good restaurants walking distance. A coffee shop. These properties seem to be independent owners who rent out and/or stay in them. Therefore each unit is maintained differently.
