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 public areas of the complex are a bit old and run down. It didn't impact us at all but some people may have a different view.
The room itself was very clean, updated with lots of space with a full kitchen. The location was perfect as we were able to walk to most things we wanted to see. Also, the area had plenty of bars & restaurants that we were able to walk to as well.

AustraliaThe cleanliness of the toilet was not good (external part of the bowl - yuk). Had to clean that myself. There was construction on the building itself so it was unpleasant to have scaffolding around the place and I nearly had my head taken off by a worker walking past me with 2 long metal poles - they should mention this is taking place on the booking site. It was also very noisy but luckily we were there over Easter so construction stopped for most of our trip. I didn't like that we had to pay $10 extra per day for parking our car in the carpark - that should have been included in the price of the apartment.
Location was excellent. Lovely view from balcony and room was spacious with a large bathroom which was an excellent size.

AustraliaThere is no property information provided for guests - no details of pool hours, where to recycle bottles/cans (room serviced weekly). Ask reception about this and was given a Canberra info map - not property specific. Room phone doesn’t work - reception told me “the wires are down in the concrete”. Then remove it from the room. Frustrating ringing a phone that doesn’t work. No way to contact staff when we had a couple of groups being loud and disrespectful in the late of night. Free wifi was ok, but a bit slow and frustrating at times. Option available to upgrade at $. Reception manned 9:00 - 6:00pm by one person. This property has recently changed hands and they are obviously upgrading to a very high standard. It was a pity our visit coincided with the roof repairs - being woken at 7am by tradies on the roof with drills, banging and yelling (some colourful language) directly above your bed was not expected (or prewarned via email before we arrived). Then the bashing of scaffold removal from 7 am for 3 days didn’t add to the ambience! Would have been a big issue for family with young children / baby trying to sleep.
Great location, beautifully presented, close to shops, restaurants nearby, walkable to many local facilities. Lovely 2 brm on 2nd floor, very nice large balcony, king size bed, well equipped kitchen. Building well insulated - didn’t feel the cooler 5 degree mornings. Secure undercover parking with lift to all floors. Lovely covered verandahs all around the property, well maintained gardens. Indoor and outdoor pools, bbqs. Hire bikes available. The housekeeping staff were fabulous and obliging - definitely an asset.

AustraliaProperty being renovated when we stayed In February. Air conditioning didn’t work in main bedroom and none in second bedroom which is not ideal for Australian summer. WiFi stopped working and wasn’t able to be fixed during the stay despite staff’s best efforts. Not ideal when you have a teenager without their own mobile data package as visiting from abroad.
Good location and amazing staff who worked tirelessly to address issues.

AustraliaCirculation around the apartment could be a bit better when hot. It seems the place was in the process of being renovated. A fair bit of construction work around which made getting to the apartment tricky if you need a paved/smooth surface for a wheelchair or heavy bags.

AustraliaWe didn’t have a plug for bath, and never got one despite asking staff. We think there was a communication issue between reception and other staff. The gym was rather small. The facility was being renovated so there was scaffolding everywhere. It really was fine though. Room was clean and quiet and comfortable
It was comfortable with everything I needed and close to Kingston with restaurants etc. Choice of 2 pools which were nice. Gym was a bonus

AustraliaParking information was poorly displayed. We received an email saying it was free and they were acknowledging our message that we required undercover parking. Subsequently a second email stated parking was $10 and is subject to availability. Reception informed us on arrival at the apartments that if we booked via bookings.com there was a charge of $10. They said the information was on the site where we booked, but it is in the fine print.
Clean, spacious, good location and comfortable bed.

AustraliaThe access around the scaffolding in the garden was a little difficult as I did not always drive and hence return via the carpark and lift. The shower in a bathtub is less than ideal...could be updated to a walk in shower only.
