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.).

AustraliaExpensive for one night.. but it is a 2 bedroom well equipped suite so not outrageous. Had to prompt managers to get the gate code before we arrived.
Our 2 bedroom suite overlooked the road/hospital so it wasn't serene or romantic. Didn't bother me as my son and I were just just there for a night to be handy for the airport. Some other rooms overlook the garden/pool which would be nicer for a holiday or couples thing. Suite had good kitchen equipment/washing machine etc that we didn't use but would be great for longer stays. Handy for walks on the esplanade. Undercover off street parking was good.

AustraliaTo find that reception was closed upon arrival, despite being still afternoon and no message to find out how one is to get keys, etc (to find out by accident on another day, from manager that the message was sent to a wrong number). Plus to maybe mention to Booking.com and other sites that reception is closed at 2pm, not later. No dryer in apartment or washing line but at least there was a clothes airer provided.
Decent sized apartment. Had everything supplied (sheets, towels, etc), as well as some little extras such as sone teabags and coffee. Beds were comfortable. It was clean and tidy. Washing machine provided. Good location, with no being too far from the town centre. Parking available on site. Swimming pool on site but didn't use.

AustraliaA little far out of the centre of Cairns to walk with a four year old but it does have a bus stop out the front. Our room faced the road so a little noisy with traffic. Could do with a couple extra pots for cooking. Queen bed was two singles joined
It was a short walk to the middle of the esplanade. It was clean and had laundry powder and soap/shampoo/conditioner which saved buying some. As well as tea/coffee/oil/salt/pepper for cooking.

AustraliaIt needed to be cleaner, as there was hair balls & hair in various places. Also the countertops hadn’t been cleaned properly. The cupboard doors also needed a wipe. I’ve cleaned motel rooms before so understand the pressures.
It was a great little apartment, nice design & had very comfortable beds.

AustraliaThe kitchen could do with a few more items like salad bowls, Tupperware. We also would have appreciated fresh towels during our stay as we were there for 8 nights. The apartment is a little dated but you can see they are updating them at the moment.
The apartment was good value for money for our family. We were a short walk from the esplanade, Muddy’s and the Aquarium. The appliances are all new and you can see that they are in the process of doing up the apartment complex.
