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.).

AustraliaThis apartment and grounds are horrible. Dirty kitchen sink, shower and floor. Couch and bed were rock hard. Woken at 7am by construction works literally metres away. The toiletries supplied were half used (lid off), hardly any tea or coffee. Balcony was filthy and no mat when coming inside so you cant wipe your feet. No sound proofing beyween floors, can hear everything above. Steep staircase to get to apartment, so if youre not able bodied, dont bother.
The location is great. Walk to everything in town

AustraliaDidn't exceed my expectations.
The location of the place was near the shops and the beach. the staff was nice but they don't have a reception. And no good view of the beach if you are looking for one. the place was dirty the floor was full of dirt. My wife had to go to the shops and get some cleaning products to clean the floor and the bathroom. we had our 4-year-old with us and we had a queen-sized bed that we all had to share. They gave us only two towels for the two of us and we had to buy one for our child. we were there for 4 days and they were aware of 3 guests. That took my wife all afternoon to clean the place. the air conditioner wasn't working at all lucky I was able to clean the flitter to get it going. The TV was out of date no Netflix we couldn't do much with it. We had to carry our luggage a couple of stairs up with no lift it could have been much better with a lift, especially with the elderly and young ones. I wouldn't recommend it.

AustraliaFor an apartment that sleeps 6 people, the sofa was tiny and only seated two, it was not very comfortable and not great for a family. The furniture on the decking needed to be updated. There was no Netflix and the reception on the tv kept cutting out and then coming back on. The shared bins downstairs were overflowing. The glass door in the living area was shattered and held together with some sort of contact. Cleaning could have been better. Very bright early in the morning as the curtains did not keep light out.
We liked the location, close to the main street and beach.

AustraliaBlock C. If you stay here I defiantly recommend block B. The rooms are the same. Block C doesn’t have lifts. The issue with block C is getting entry to the building if you aren’t checking in before 4pm. I drive at the track and often come up the night before or after a day at the track. If the main reception is not open you need to call a number that a man in block A answers. He watches you from his window and explains how to open the lock box, open the front door, open the garage door. It’s honestly a stressful experience as his English is very difficult to understand. It would be a lot easier if the keys could be Collected from Phillip Island apartments like in block B. Also when I stayed there the hot water wasn’t working. Again when I called the number I was explained where to reset outside the building. It was dark and the reset didn’t work the first time. I couldn’t have a shower that evening and had to do it again in the morning when I could see property. The rooms are spacious and clean. The service delivery can be poor though.
Location is very close to the Main Street

AustraliaEverything. The property was advertised as luxury; however the building was poorly constructed. Appliances were the cheapest possible from Kmart. The couch fell apart. It was advertised as having a sofa bed; and linen provided however this was an extra $50 charge. It was unhygienic. I could continue but don't want to waste my time. I highly recommend to find somewhere else. Do your research of the reviews.
How close the property was to the main street.

AustraliaEverything could have been better
In general total disgrace with the weekend mould in the showers dirty apartment, when you open the kitchen window all you could smell was the rubbish bins below that were overflowing with rubbish, gardens overgrown. During our first day a man was pissing in the gardens. And the final straw was the air-conditioning not working and after this point we just packed up and left. To sum it up a really poor and disgusting apartment complex. Still waiting for the manager to contact us. But safe to say we will not be staying there again. And for anybody else stay away.
