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 curtains in the bedroom didn’t cover the windows completely and has been commented on in previous reviews but still have not been fixed. The fan in the bedroom had 2 speeds extra fast or extremely slow there was an air con in both the bedroom and main area but would have been good for the fan to work properly in the bedroom. The internet was extremely slow and not usable at all. The door to the balcony needs to be fixed as it was hard to lock it.
The room was as described and really clean. The view was amazing. The location was perfect really close to the Main Street but beware it is a steep walk up to the apartment and then 3 flights to the top of the apartment but well worth it to get the view and location.

AustraliaA few small things. Large wardrobe but it was rather annoyingly taken up with a folding bed and there were no coat hangers anyway, so I had to fold skirts, dresses and trousers (or bring in a kitchen chair to drape them over). The kitchen was a little under stocked. Even for 2 people places often have sets of 4 . . . but this had only 1 pasta bowl, 2 water glasses, (nice to leave one in the bathroom or bedroom) no slotted spoon or spatula, and 1 tea towel for a whole week’s dishwashing, to mention the few things we noticed. A laundry basket in the bathroom would be useful too (as we used the laundry facilities whilst we were there) and some pegs to go with the clothes horse. These are all such small inexpensive things which I would have appreciated.
Location was good, close to town, which is important when you’re walking everywhere. (And in Airlie Beach once you leave the beach area, it’s all uphill). Nicely furnished apartment with sunny balcony overlooking the sea. Comfy bed and couches. Free wifi and Netflix made relaxing at home in the evening easy. A good sized kitchen with full fridge made it convenient to prepare our own meals and Woolworths was just a five minute walk away. Good bathroom facilities although I found the basin to be very high. (I could see it was built to accommodate a washing machine under the bench)

AustraliaThe complex felt dated but the room itself was pleasant. I would recommended some storage drawers in the bathroom as there is nothing but bench space. The curtains also need to be updated as the backing leaves white marks and they aren’t entirely block out. this is a privately owned room and is tidy and more modern. the rest of the complex looks like it needs some serious upgrading.
view and location was great. The size of the apartment was also good.

AustraliaThe hill climb to the unit each time you went out in Airlie Beach is difficult for seniors its quite steep, then of course stairs to the unit, no designated car spaces for each unit which we found hard to explain and only after a lot of driving around did we find you can park anywhere under the 6 or 7 buildings bearing in mind your car may be some distance from your unit up the hill further on a much higher elevation, our car was parked 3 buildings up the street, not ideal, this is something they really need to address. The curtains in all rooms have the backings deteriorating and making a mess on the carpets when opened and closing so need replacing also when you brush up against the curtains they leave white marks on your skin and clothing, unacceptable for the money. Extra towels would be great for a week stay and explaining where the laundries are in the comlex would be helpful too and there are no tv instructions either for the 2 remotes. This unit is managed by outside agents and so confirmation of your stay meant we were asked not to go to reception this was an issue as we had a smoke alarm going off for hours in the unit next door and because the managing outside agents were along way away we had to get a code to retrieve the smoke alarm ourselves for the unoccupied unit next to us to disarm it, we then had to take this alarm to our room and babysit it all night having to constantly silence it during the night as maintenance would not be there for another 24 hrs. we only did this because we felt other guests like ourselves would be under stress all night, it did ruin our last night with no sleep looking after this alarm and as we were paying good money per night to stay here we were not entirely impressed.
Location was amazing unit was clean and comfortable beautiful views, extra sheets, blankets and pillows. The kitchen was great everything you require in a kitchen was there nice furniture for a week stay. Anchor bar had great food and service, this is located onsite but down the bottom of the hill so bear in mind if you are in the top building its a big steep walk

AustraliaNo slide fly screens - essential for this area Safe in VERY awkward position - must be over 7 feet tall to use or use chair to step on!👎🏻 Basin is way TOO HIGH - no reason for it been so high *Glass slide doors to balcony DDLOCK - we didn’t complain as we didn’t want to waste our time waiting for tradies or have someone come thru & us not been present. Sunbed on balcony would be highly recommended especially with this view Fan in bedroom seemed to go too fast & annoying loud or too slow- nothing inbetween. Also fans definetly need dusting especially in living room. Also bathroom door should be a solid one - appreciate others not listening to one’s business * Glass slide doors didn’t lock

ItalyThe locked box needs to be replaced as it won’t open unless you use another object to move the lock . Not knowing this we input the code many times with no luck . Phoned the booking agents on a few occasions a representative did arrive and to my annoyance she indicated they are aware of the fault (sorry not good enough) . Unfortunately the event all took place during a serious wet weather event we were wet through not a good way to start a holiday , maybe you can just fix the lock

AustraliaThe location was great only a short walk up the hill from town. The views from the unit are incredible, probably the best in Airlie Beach. The unit had beautiful decor and was extremely comfortable. We had a couple of extra requests which our hosts were only too happy to help out with straight away. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return in the near future.

AustraliaThe hill walking up and down wasn’t that pleasant. No ramp access to apartment, needed to carry luggage up flights of stairs. Outdoor light not working. Unit underneath was renovating at the time. Didn’t find out till after I booked that you couldn’t get reception help as it was privately owned.
Clean and tidy. Nice view.
