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 fans in the bedrooms could do with cleaning & the walk up the hill was horrendous
The pools, the kitchen amenities & that there were basics in the pantry. Apartment is walking distance to nightlife. The cockatoos that visit each morning & afternoon.

AustraliaWalking up the hill after a night out was hard on the lungs and walking down was hard on the knees
Great view, spacious, clean and relatively quiet considering it was the week of the Airlie Beach music festival.

AustraliaThe apartment itself was fantastic but the hill to walk back up from the shops was so steep! Recommend getting a taxi home if you’re bringing groceries from the Woolies at the base of the hill.
The location is perfect for beautiful views of the ocean. The shower water pressure is amazing!! The communication from the host was appreciated, calling to confirm we checked in smoothly and the little welcome pack with all the info on the area was great! Would definitley book with this host again.

AustraliaThe world's steepest hill to get to the hotel. The furniture was a little dated. Didn't have any warm blankets so got a bit cold as it was raining the whole time we were there.
Loved everything else! The view was absolutely breath taking, you get to see the sunrise, all the islands and the sunset all from your balcony. The shower in the master was the best shower I've ever had. Slept like the dead. Super affordable. Really good location aside from the horrible hill.

AustraliaBeing over 70 the 200meter steep incline to the property was atoo much for us oldies. Okay if you are young and fit.We had to drive or use a taxi .But was worth it just for the views. Another problem was the noise that travelled from the unit above us through the floor. Sounded like they were dragging furniture around all night.
Fabulous views. Walking distance to town and beach

AustraliaThe house wasn’t cleaned even to a basic standard. There were ants on the day we arrived and my daughter (who is crawling) was dirty after playing on the floor. We ended up having to lay down a blanket for her to play on for the week. The property is on a very very steep hill - if you are a young family or someone with mobility issues just be aware that it is a difficult walk. This being said, you can get a cheap taxi (13cabs) from bottom to top very easily. Also, the view is worth the hill!
The view from the property was the best we have ever had, it was so beautiful and unobstructed. The apartment was very comfortable and the amenities where good.

AustraliaThe cleanliness of the unit was ordinary unfortunately. The floors were grubby, the AC screens were filthy (i cleaned the lounge ones in the shower) and a big cockroach came out of the couch when we sat on it. The fridge had no door handle, there was no baking trays for the oven. The ensuite toilet had mould underneath the rim and the main bed had a slant on one side which made for an ordinary sleep for 3 days. Also don’t bring a big car cause there is nowhere to park as you can’t get a big SUV in the parking space provided and the visitor parks are fist in best dressed and tiny also. I hadn’t been to Airlie in over 10 years and to take my recently married wife and kids for our first holiday since before convid to a place i had such fond memories of only to be charged a fortune for an outdated unit and so many closed businesses was pretty sad really. I’m not usually one to bring up so many issues with somewhere we stay but we paid $1000 for 3 nights and honestly expected more.
The location was good except the hill with a toddler was impossible. The only good thing was the view. Kids loved the cockatoos
