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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 couch in the room was extremely uncomfortable as were the chairs on the balcony. This made relaxing of an evening impossible.
The location and facilities were excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was ideal and the bed was very comfortable.

AustraliaThe bathroom was quite outdated and a little hard to use the shower when you’re taller, that was the only downside.
Amazing view, big space with a spacious and clean kitchen and so close to everything! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the extras around the hotel including parking were so accessible and easy use/get to!

AustraliaSome of the appliances need updating - tv & clothes dryer, plus curtains are looking old & sad. Also didn’t appreciate having to dispose of our rubbish ($25 cleaning fee applied if we didn’t, and also have dishwashing running). I think this should be an inclusion considering the price you pay.
The stunning view, close proximity to local shops & cafes, size of apartment, easy access to apartment, great parking area, ease of unpacking car, variety of restaurants close by. Bed was very comfortable.

AustraliaWater was coming through the light fitting in the bathroom. We called the night manager who said we could stay in another room for the night but we’d have to move out of that room the next morning and move to another room. There was no apology or urgency to move us out of the room the following day. We stayed in the room and didn’t use the bathroom light. Not sure we’d stay again.
Location is great. Rooms are clean.

AustraliaThe kitchen has very limited utensils. As a fourt star you really need good utensils in an apartment. There was no microwave container or lid, no scissors and very limited cooking pans. There should also be food, glad wrap and proper cooking oil and salt and pepper in the apartments for a four star. The Netflix log in process was completely impractical. Spent 35 mins trying to cast and had to call staff. Have not experienced this hassle in other hotels.
Excellent location- amazing pool area and next to the country club for live music.

AustraliaGreat location and value for money. A little old, however the amenities for what we needed and paid for was great. The lady who checked us in used too many "Love", " Babe" and "Honey" for my liking. A small thing but it's the first point of contact. Quite condescending but obviously ment well.
