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.).

AustraliaAs expected with most self contained accommodation you have to sign a declaration to be accountable in event of damage to property. Unregistered guests are not allowed. However such rules maintain ambience, serenity and character of niche accommodation for a relaxing holiday.
Spacious, high ceiling, self-contained unit with all facilities to cook. Good internet connection, I had no issues. Comfortable bed and 2 ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning. Nelly Bay foreshore and beach is only metres away. Lots of cute wallabies on the rocks at Nelly Bay foreshore. Nearby bus stops take you towards Horseshoe Bay and Picnic Bay. Nice and quiet location, as I wanted, to relax and unwind.

AustraliaIt is a little like stepping back to the 80's, but everything is very well maintained and clean. The hotel is a 15 min walk from the ferry terminal, and the beach out the front is close to the marina, but the water is warm and clear.
You dont come to Magnetic Island to stay at the resort. You want to get out there. Nice clean rooms and facilities well maintained. Accommodating staff who help you adjust to island time. There is a bus and scooter stop close by.

AustraliaI was surprised that the bathroom didn't actually have a proper separation from the room. I lacked privacy when I used the toilet in the room.
The resort is located very close to the beach, shops and few cafes and restaurant. Only 15 min walk from the ferry. There is a swimming pool and bbq area that you can use. There is a "play room" with the pool, books, games and you can also use the tennis court for free. We had to wait for the plane back home till the evening and we were able to use the common areas for the day and leave our bags in the reception, that was very helpful and kind!

the property was clean, spacious and very comfortable, our room had a fully equipped kitchenette and nice bathroom. the location was beautiful, the resort itself was amazing surrounded by trees & plants, there was a swimming pool which was lovely. they accommodated for all even having animal statures around the resort and encouraging the children to join in the game of finding them all. they had a games room with lots of activities from pool, table tennis to crafts and books. they also had a laundry room which was clean and reasonably priced to use too. amazing location, really lovely property. the staff were extremely friendly and so helpful with giving us information about the island and the location. the resort is really close to the ferry and there is a bus stop right outside too. everything is in walking distance from the pharmacy, supermarket and lots of places to choose to eat from.
