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.).

AustraliaI have stayed here many times and always loved it, however this time due to it being busy I stayed in cabin no 17 and it was absolutely abysmal, dated and depressing. Only one power point for the whole room made charging anything a pain in the arse. The sliding front door was always getting stuck and jamming. Parking was over crowded and a nightmare to get my car out. The communal toilets and shower block was always full of dead insects however I was told they had a flying ant problem, still wouldn’t hurt to hose it out regularly or reminding other customers to keep the door closed at night. I would stay here again but not in a cabin, it made me feel irritated.
I have stayed here many times and always loved this place for the location near the bay. The staff are always helpful and friendly and the cafe is a great place to eat and have a drink.

AustraliaWe were situated right behind the cafe. There was a band playing and although the music was great it was just a little too loud for the small area it was in.
A slice of paradise hidden away but still a perfect location

AustraliaNothing to dislike it’s always perfect.
I love this place so much I try and visit every few months. Always stay here when I come to Bowen. Best priced stay and best location close to the horseshoe bay beach. Amazing views and walks to go on. I always take my snorkel mask and fins for a swim. Staff always go above and beyond and have great communication, always accomodating and very helpful. This place is a hidden gem!

Australiathere was not enough amenities for the amount of people… 1 shower and 2 toilets for the 11 people in our area is not enough… I was told the price I was to pay was$452 but I was charged $562.20 with the excuse that it was peak season… even after I had already paid the deposit through booking.com … we definitely will not go to horseshoe bay resort again especially when there is so many nicer and more reasonably priced places around Bowen
