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.).

AustraliaNo parking. Reception unattended Gang of smoker's at the foot of the stairs. Choke every time we came or went. Pin code supplied in booking confirmation did not provide entry Toilet leaked onto floor. Taps all leaked constantly. Sitting room too dark for reading paper or completing crossword.

AustraliaDoors between rooms in the 2 bedroom apartment would greatly improve the experience and allow for a proper nights sleep. The 2br apartment is more open plan and best suited to a family where privacy is not paramount.

AustraliaTrivial but room had polished wooden floors and a carpet rug would have added to comfort, also, would have appreciated a reading lamp next to sofa.
Although rooms are not new they are very clean and have all facilities for comfortable stay. Kitchenette we didn't use but was clean and well provided. Room was nice and quiet well back from main road. Location is ideal with waterfront, cafes, restaurants, car rentals, major shopping centres and railway station and main bus stop within easy walking distance.

Australiathe place is oldish with not much renovations done over the last… probably 20 years. Very basic. It could be harder to compete with other more refurbished places.
it is conveniently located, not too close to the city centre, yet close enough to be in a quieter area. walking distance to shops, cafes, etc.

AustraliaThe fact that reception was never open to walk in and talk to someone face to face and you could only contact them by phone during 8am to 5pm otherwise there was no help. I didn't understand why reception was closed during daylight hours. The front door was always locked. WHY? You're running a service business so you need to be available to help guests. We felt sorry for an NZ family who had arrived one night and had supposedly not received their welcome text message with entry detail information and the office phone was not being answered so they were out in the cold. Luckily we were there to help them. I don't know how many countless guests would have been stuck waiting outside not knowing how to get in after landing in Cairns. There was NO table or chairs to sit and eat a meal. That was a HUGE NO NO. There was room for it in the living area so a cheap one should be included. We had to place our food on one of 2 little knee high mini tables while seated on the old 2 seater couch. We had to take it in turns to use the larger of the 2 mini side tables! There was no stove or oven so the only way to heat food was with the microwave which is not ideal for some food. The living room light was faint and not bright enough. The couch was old and worn and not wide enough. Both of us felt squashed sitting on it. The bathroom tap and shower needed a new washer as it kept dripping when turned off (room 105). No box of tissues.
The bathroom was big with good storage unit and had a good sized hot shower. The bedroom was big and had adequate storage, a large vertical mirror and the bed was comfortable with clean bed linen light and suitable to the local weather conditions. The kitchenette was adequate although missing a stove or oven. The room was large enough for a couple. The staff responded to requests quickly during business hours to fix things and replace towels and toilet paper. The location was within walking distance to Cairns city attractions, restaurants and Woolies. It was value for money. It was clean. The TV worked well. Wi-fi is available. The toilet paper was 3 ply and the bar of soap was a big chunky one which is pretty good for a budget hotel.
