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 apartment we were given was on the ground floor and was very dated. The main bedroom smelt like mould and you couldn't open the windows to air it out as right outside the window was a thoroughfare for the building so people were constantly walking by and could look inside. This is also meant it was very noisy at all times of day and night so sleeping wasn't great. The outside balcony connected to the other ground floor apartments so people would walk past and look inside to see what we were doing as they walked to their room so very little privacy. The carpets in the bedrooms were so old and horrible to walk on. I don't know if the other apartments in the building are nicer but it was one of the worst stays on the coast and the most uncomfortable nights sleep. You have to weigh up staying for the location which is amazing but then having a terrible nights sleep. Would not stay again.
The only thing that was good about our stay was the location of being right on the beach. If it wasn't for that part the whole weekend would have been awful

AustraliaMy booking -Two-Bedroom Apartment with Ocean View because I wanted to be away from the pool, research on the website indicated this would be the case. What I was given was an absolute Beachfront ground floor right near the pool, people walking past and a very noisy pump right near the balcony. The balcony was barely wide enough to walk on let alone sit and relax. Most people would say how awesome an absolute beach front - yes the view was fantastic, however the unit was tired, in dire need of a paint and tidy up and only a few of the windows had security so you couldn't leave them open at night. The security walked past me standing on the balcony at around 10pm, think he was trying out for the 100 metre dash - didn't even notice me. When I booked in and was given apartment 1, I said that it wasn't what I booked, the answer was, "sorry that's all I have, the upper level units are booked by longer stays, but you have beach front" - if you don't want short stays of 2 nights people - don't take the booking!!
Close to Surf Club and Mermaid/Nobby shopping centre.

AustraliaI didn’t like the fact that we spent 5 nights without any housekeeping and half a roll of toilet paper! If you expect guests to wash their own linen at least provide the appropriate equipment.
Great location close to beach, clubs, restaurants and shops.

AustraliaWifi was a bit patchy but we found that sometimes if we couldn't log onto our room number, we could access via other rooms as the password was the same. Minor hiccup the lift was out of action for a day or so but from what I saw this was well managed. Fire stairs access was suitable.
Spindrift was better than it was advertised to be. The architecture allows excellent views even from our side apartment and the access to the beach was straightforward. The pool and spa were kept maintained and well heated. The apartment space felt even larger than the 115 m2 advertised, again due to good design. We were lucky to get heavily discounted rate on booking.com and were very tempted to pay the extra to try out the larger apartment with full sea views. If you are looking for a value option for a supreme location this is the place. Of course the neighbourhood of Nobby Beach is well known for its cheery vibe.

AustraliaThe apartment was advertised as ocean side, but it was on the side of the building. There was only a partial view of the ocean, with the main view being the building next door. The lounge furniture is a bit dated , and the general lighting was unpleasant , fluorescent.

AustraliaThe property is dated, although I think this is appropriately reflected in the 3 star rating.
