How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Family with young children
- • Two-Bedroom Apartment

Nothing, everything was perfect.
The room was perfectly apartment-sized, spacious, and spotlessly clean. There was plenty of room to stretch out, rest, and stow away luggage. Flawless floors contributed to a comfortable stay, and judging by the size of the ground, it was quite spacious. Amenities and appliances were well-maintained and conveniently positioned. For example, the fridge was big and spacious, capable of storing several days worth of food. The microwave, by Samsung, incorporated a number pad that made warming up food favourable compared to other microwaves we have experienced, which were complicated. Additionally, the beds were super comfy, and the rooms were well-furnished with tables and coat hangers. All these details displayed the highly competent aesthetic standards that Mick and Sue affirm. An incident occurred on the Quicksilver Cruises, where I was stung by a Bluebottle Jellyfish on my hand and face. However, not to worry, as Mick came to my aid by contacting local GPs and hospitals, inquiring about my condition. Sue came out offering ice packs and medical advice, which helped drastically reduce the pain and swelling. Both were highly professional and friendly, which made me feel peaceful in such a bad situation. Overall, the rooms were spacious and clean, with amenities precisely crafted in the right spot. Again, very generous and kudos to both Mick and Sue for helping me, as well as my family, throughout my holidays.

Not much to say, maybe the floor could use a little bit more cleaning but this is me being picky.
The check in was great - Sue, the owner, immediately made us feel welcome and really took the time to share her tips and insights about the surroundings. We also got a covered parking spot for the whole stay. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, the furniture and bedding was comfortable. All the equipment was in good shape. The location was really good too, a 15min stroll or 2min drive to the Main Street and marina and 5min walk to the beach.

Everything was in good order, clean just same things missing but it was clarified by us and no issue at all. Need to check in the kitchen as there was coffee there was no sugar or milk in the fridge There was no napkins in the kitchen and also a sponge and washing liquid for washing the dishes.
The owners were friendly and show us the attraction around the areaI like there was a outdoor setting and a pool with a BBQ Area Also like our outside seating

Nothing at all!!!
Apartment 214 was incredibly comfortable, spacious, modern and equipped with everything you can think of, even little birthday candles should you wish to bake a birthday cake while staying there. Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, oven, all there. Amazing! The owners Sue and Mick were super friendly. They research and book your tours and trips if you like, very convenient. They also let us do a late checkout so we could take a shower after our reef trip before heading back to Cairns.
