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.).

Australiaproperty was in fair condition. was tidy and clean. I think was a little expensive for what it was but is during holidays period. the staff( a lady )at the main centre were rude and questioned us and made us provide a room number and key when we ask if we new where a coffee might be..I don't think they like outside guest during holiday periods. the pools we're tidy and clean. was located right in the beachfront.

AustraliaThe receptionist isn't friendly and helpful. The location is not accessible by maps or waze. The direction given through phone call is not clear enough. It's been very annoying to get it to Nautical Owl. Though the our expectations was very satisfactory.

AustraliaThere is nothing that I don’t like about the property however I feel the pillows need replacing. Also sad that the Thai restaurant wasn’t open as it was amazing.
It’s a beautiful location located right on Pelican Beach. The Nautical Owl is everything that you could ask for in a holiday rental. Very clean. Plenty of space and separate rooms. Short 2 minute walk to beach, pools, spa, tennis courts and gym. Love the Pandanus Deck on the beach for lazy afternoons watching the waves. Especially love the courtyard - very tropical which puts you in the holiday mood instantly. BYO tennis racquets and basketball for the courts.

AustraliaThe only thing that was disappointing which didn't have anything to do with the villa itself but the resort, was children under 12 are not allowed in the spa not even with an adult. The pool was freezing cold, many guests were left disappointed and could not enjoy the hot spa as they had to watch the children in the pool, and the kids weren't allowed to go in the spa with them like most places. The lady which I assume ran the clinics was very blunt and rude when the adults took young children in so they could enjoy 5 minutes in a hot spa rather then a very cold pool. Other then that, we couldn't fault the place.
The whole place was great, plenty of room for a family, the washer and dryer came in handy! Kitchen had everything we needed plus there was an extra kitchenette in the second room. It was a home away from home and we didn't want to leave. Comfy beds and plenty of room for everyone. We're a family of 6, the nautical owl villa was perfect for us. The pools were great but very cold. Kids loved it though, close to the beach, tennis courts, the hot spa, beautiful views, very short drive to go anywhere. Was the most relaxing fun holiday we've had!

AustraliaThe nautical owl unit was in need of a up grade , it was dark and tired looking . We have been promised a refund of one night s accommodation but after many phone calls to property management in Coffs Harbour this has not happened . They told us they had sent the money to Bookings .com Still waiting on refund .
We thought was lovely and the staff were also lovely , but the actual apartment was below standard and very shabby looking . The outside chairs were broken and faded . The kitchen only had 2 teaspoons , can opener didnt work it was very poorly stocked as far as appliances .

AustraliaWe had trouble accessing the keys and had to make multiple calls to gain access. While the property is near the beach we had to drive to get to restaurants and shopping. The washing machine was full of water and wouldn’t drain when we got there, obviously no one had checked when the previous guests left. Nil response from property contact regarding entry issues and washing machine.
Good size rooms and bathrooms, close to the beach.
