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.).

AustraliaI didn’t like that there is really only one place to eat dinner, I found this to be quite expensive for a single mum with two boys. We did eat there once and it was lovely. But there needs to be food and variety to cater for different budgets. Life/ expenses are tight these days. A family pizza and drinks would be great, I would come back if the meals were to suite everyone’s budget thank god for Uber eats. Also, having a cashless places is crazy, when you have to get change for the laundry facilities.
I enjoyed the history and uniqueness of the place. Easy to get around.

AustraliaThe rooms was very small and basic. I would recommend better coffee sachets and some complimentary biscuits would be good. Breakfast was average. This is a very difficult question as the quality of the rooms and facilities were quite disappointing BUT then the view was breathtaking.
The location, location, location! The shuttle bus made it easy to get around the site. The history of the site. Such a beautiful place!

AustraliaWe appreciate that it’s difficult to strike a balance between the old and the new. For example, we’re the rooms originally fitted with fly wire doors? If so, they should be replicated. If not, they should be added( in keeping with the simple timber design of course, as this would greatly improve the comfort of guests by keeping mozzies, and turkeys etc and lessening the need for noisy fans. This would be expensive but a cost analysis should be undertaken. We were required to move rooms during our stay, due to an ongoing issue with a smoke alarm. The room we were relocated to had a massive drought coming in through a loose fitting door. Our impression ( one of us is an experienced maintenance carpenter) was that the general fabric requires more attention eg blocked and sagging gutters can only lead to deterioration of timber verandahs
Helpful staff overcoming some difficulties we experienced Beautiful setting and interesting historic precinct Magnificent views to the harbour Shuttle service to Manly greatly appreciated

AustraliaReliance on a shuttle bus around the Q Station as no cars allowed. Not a major inconvenience and it certainly adds to the quaintness and protects the wildlife - you just requires you to plan your movements somewhat.

AustraliaGiven that it didn't seem overly busy and there were empty rooms, it would have been nice to be provided with a room that faced the ocean.
Great location, very peaceful and a relaxing environment. Plenty of light activities, from the restaurant, cafe and beach. The shuttle transport to Manly and back was perfect. You could easily just plan your Manly stay at the Q and be very happy with it.
