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.).

AustraliaMy room was dated and tired. Other rooms were nicely renovated. The restaurant wasn't open Sunday night, I was so looking forward to dining there again after such a magnificent meal the previous evening.
A good size room with large easy access carpark. Best restaurant meal enjoyed in a long time, friendly accommodating staff. Quiet location, close driving access to esplanade and beach.

AustraliaThe room was quite run down. The mattresses were extremely old and some were really hard and others sunk in the middle. The amount the meals cost they were quite plain tasting and limited. Pizzas serves in boxes in the restaurant and were soggy not cooked enough. The crispy skin barramundi was not crispy and it tasted horrible. Spaghetti's bolanase was horrible also.
The pool for the kids.

AustraliaThe bunk beds weren't comfortable I assume it was an older room & old phone points or lights not working (with out tubes) that either could have been removed or fixed / maintained. But they might be doing renovations so hopefully that will get sorted
Having the room & kitchen Great having 2 rooms (1 bed in 1 & the other beds in the other room) Shower was actually good

AustraliaSecond morning I went for breakfast at the 7am opening time the facility was not open. I asked the staff and they had no answers to why the restaurant was not open for breakfast and had no information if breakfast was available at a later time.
First morning breakfast was excellent and I really enjoyed it.

AustraliaWe were booked into a room where renovations were going on. We didn't get much sleep the 1st day. Went to reception 2nd day, she was more then happy to moves rooms. We paid for a 2 bedroom apartment and ended up in a room with a king bed and single bed. It was a down grade for what I paid for. No refund. Had to share a room the the parents. Was abit of a mess with renovations and rooms. Was abit disappointed. But I would stay here again the stuff were amazing. Seagulls is a beautiful resort. ☺️
Love the vibe of seagulls. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful! Food was excellent! Amazing Amazing service. 🥰🥰
