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 room service food was average. A cucumber salad was served on a hot pasta and was inedible. The pasta itself was unremarkable. The room service menu was limited and the service fee was excessive. The facilities are a little dated (my front sliding door was missing a lock). In particular, the shower cornices were rusted and cracked and this made them look dirty and old.
Loved the service and the staff - exceptional. I felt well looked after and that staff were approachable and professional. Elemes Spa was wonderful as well. Loved the movies on demand - this is now rare to find in hotels.

AustraliaWifi wasn't strong in private rooms, but at least there was one bar reception in some spots... Wifi was fine in the beautiful public areas though.
Beautiful resort, lovely ambience to the place. We really liked the extensive board walks, long and varied enough to make you feel like you've actually had a good walk, plus the beach if you wanted to walk further. Rooms were great, spotless, and private at the back overlooking nature. Friendly helpful staff. Fabulous nature outlook all through the resort. Just a lovely gentle place to be. We'll be back.

AustraliaI was very disappointed in the food. The first 2 evenings dinner I was sick and never dared to eat there again. It was very inconvenient as we had to travel by taxi at night to find a restaurant when I would have preferred to stay at the hotel.
The accommodation was lovely but next time I would ask for an apartment on the lower level due to stairs.

AustraliaThe only thing we didn’t love was the on demand movie option was not working in our apartment. The staff were quick to respond but were not able to fix the problem until after our stay. They did offer to swap rooms but we had already unpacked so they gave us complimentary breakfasts which we were happy with.
It’s a very private rainforest hideaway which is beautifully maintained. It has such a relaxed and peaceful environment which we loved. The rooms were spacious and clean. Lovely rainforest views all around and felt private even though there were other apartments all around us. Staff were lovely, helpful and polite. The restaurant had delicious food and drink for every meal we had and the staff were very helpful and informative on menu options to suit the palette. Especially at night when we had our 28th wedding anniversary dinner there. Loved it and would definitely stay at Crystalbrook again in the near future.

AustraliaThere is little to no fault with Crystalbrook Byron, given the location and bedded into the Australian coastal bush land.
The engagement of the staff who are all friendly, knowledge and not too personnel, is a difficult balance and your hotel resort has this in abundance. The delicious local produce menu, the gardens and pool are all difficult to set expectations and all three are beautifully kept and managed.
