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 place has potential, but it looked a bit tired and floor tiles needed cleaning. - Bedroom door can't close as the bed is in the way. - The swimming pool really needs a proper maintenance job as it looks most uninviting, unlike the picture given in the website, see photo attached.
Convenient location, right in the middle of town. Woolworths is opposite and all the restaurants and attractions are within easy walking distance. - Spacious room.

AustraliaThe cupboard doors in the bedroom were stuck in the slides after opening so even if annoying it was easy to work around and hang clothes on the open side and leave the ironing board in the other section .The washing machine worked really well but smelt like it needed cleaning or its traps cleaned .The sofa was stained but comfortable. On arriving the toilet was leaking continually after first flush but this was easy to solve and we had no problems for the rest of the stay. All in all the unit met our needs and was comfortable.
The room/unit was situated on the 5th floor and contained a bathroom with bath and shower and cupboard laundry and dryer , trough along with a kitchen, double bedroom, dining area associated with a lounge and a balcony. A large tv completed the living room with sofa and glass coffee table and dining table along with a foldable air dryer .The floor was tiled throughout the unit and the bedroom was carpeted . The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning easy to use and adjust depending on the outside weather . The kitchen had a small fridge ,stove and all cooking utensils provided as well as coffee and tea along with milk pods to start our stay . The bathroom supplied plenty of bench space for our washbags ect. The staff were friendly and let us know about key functionality ans after hours access to the Inn when no reception was there . In the 5 days there was no house keeping unless requested and we were happy to have none during our stay, The Inn was central to all Cairns shopping and within walking distance, This was our first time staying this hotel and were surprised at its position and ease of access and we could have used the carpark as well if we had a car, We have stayed in other hotels on the esplande but this hotel position afforded better shopping and cafe access than previous stays, A hidden gem even if the decor was older as it was clean and neat and accessible .
