Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

This apartment was absolutely lovely. Very clean/Spacious/Comfortable big bed/and just so very Welcoming. It had everything that was needed to make an enjoyable stay. It's the small things that make a place stand out from the rest. And Macquarie Waters does this. Macquarie Waters Boutique certainly provide a very comfortable stayover for any period of time. Don't hesitate to book, you most certainly won't regret it. I know that I'll be back when next in Port Macquarie.

The view was not perfect but it was the same for all of the other facilities near there. Parking was a bit difficult in that the access to the underground parking was sometimes blocked by heavy traffic entering the adjacent caravan park.
The location was excellent, and had all of the amenities for a stay to include a dryer, dishwasher, oven, and washing machine.

The steps leading to the unit and the sliding doors on the balcony are a little difficult but not much. The shower head is ridiculously high for some reason.
The 2 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. I went with a friend and the twin beds in the 2nd bedroom were made into a king size bed as requested. We had 2 bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms which was perfect for 2 females. The location is excellent. Only mins walk to bars, restaurants, shops etc. Although we didn't have a water view room we had water views from the large balcony. Kitchen is big enough and well stocked. All rooms are air conditioned, there's even a washing machine and dryer in the unit. My only complaint is we had about 6 stairs leading to the room and they weren't easy for me to manoeuvre as I have mobility issues. Those stairs are very narrow, not even my foot wide. Apart from that absolutely no complaints. I've even rebooked for 5 nights later in the year. Cheaper to book through them direct than Booking. com etc. Heads up, cocktails are cheaper at the pub nearest the main street than anywhere else and they are delicious.

The only issue which was not a big one was the configuration of the bathroom, as the toilet was in a separate small room and the one large bathroom was attached to the main bedroom ( no toilet in the bathroom).
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The apartment was nice and spacious and clean- nice views.
