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.).

United KingdomBed was quite squeaky and a little uncomfy, the curtains let a lot of light through and also couldn’t access the laundry (not sure if it was only available to one apartment not all - but we couldn’t find it or any information on how to access)
It was a great location, cute little apartment and great for a little get away! Would stay here again and would recommend to others :)

AustraliaThe mattresses could do with updating/replacing, not very comfy at all and a small aircon for the unit would be brilliant. Then it would be a perfect unit.
Lovely and clean, great spot close to lake/beach/cafes. Good value for cheapest around. Decor nice and simple with a good sized holiday unit kitchen and bathroom.

AustraliaThe grounds keeper was mowing, whipper snipping, bringing a whole bunch of wheelie bins in, all early in the morning across 2 mornings. The rooms themselves were quiet, but didn't appreciate getting woken up too early when you're on vacation! the room has no air con, just a couple of pedestal fans. It was ok and we have stayed there before so knew what to expect, but this time it was hotter so made it a bit hard to sleep. Not a deal breaker though.
Ease of check in. Location is excellent. Value for money.

AustraliaNo air con. The first night was quite hot, at least there were good pedal stool fans. The couch needed a good vacuum. Otherwise fairly clean.
Location was a lovely walk to the tidal pool and into Forster. Comfy beds. Different coloured towels for each guest, made it easy to remember our own towel!

AustraliaNo air conditioning but did have pedestal fans in both rooms. Unfortunately, one of our nights was extremely hot and being up on the 2nd floor we felt the heat more and felt the fans were not adequate for the level of temperature. Dining table only had 3 chairs, would have been great to have a 4th chair option as unit caters for 4 people.
We stayed in Unit 4 on the second floor after staying in Unit 1 previously (after deciding to extend our stay in Forster). The transfer of units went smoothly, and both Bruno (Host) and the cleaning staff were very accommodating in letting us know that we could move into the upstairs unit earlier than expected which was great and very convenient for us. The unit was modern, clean and had seating with 2 chairs on the outside baloney. Loved the location of this unit, so close to shops, restaurants & lake pool.

AustraliaFor 3 adults, there was only one face towel. There is no air conditioning in the unit. There are fans, but this is not enough in hot summer.
The location is great. The accommodation is nice and clean and comfortable for small families. The price for Christmas time is very good.

AustraliaNo air con and only one pedestal fan ( had to buy a fan for the second bedroom for our stay), fridge did not seem as cold as it should be ( even with it turned up full) Bed ( double bed?) creaked bad. The extension cord (in the bedroom with two single beds ) had the metal bits bent so unable to use, made it hard since PowerPoint is behind bed. Steps are steep, and make it hard carrying luggage up and down.
Clean and tidy, pretty much everything you need for a quick stay. Great location, short walk to the beach and restaurants. Quiet area. The staff was very nice the morning we left. Value for money. Nice neat decor, not overdone. The shower was awesome!! The kitchen has everything you need: a small portable oven/ stove top combo, a fridge, a microwave , a kettle, and a toaster. Cutlery, plates, etc. There are plenty of picnik tables and a BBQ. Outdoor shower. Clothes lines. Bottom level, I noticed had a ramp for easy access when needed to the bottom apartments. TV worked well. The corner lounge was comfy, 5-6 seater, I think.
