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.).

AustraliaWe stayed in the 3 bedder Meraki apartment above the parking area. BBQ, lounge wasn’t clean. Basic kitchen. Can’t have blinds down at night as they bang with the wind so you need to close windows ….but there’s no aircon in bedrooms- only fans!!! No doors on ensuite - sorry not good enough - also allows daylight-in so there’s no sleep in as it’s blindingly sunny- and then there’s the next door barking dog!!! No outdoor area. Communal pool area not suited to different couples/ groups sitting around. Otherwise quite pleasant and great location 😊 but definitely would not stay again.

AustraliaInternet was patchy and slow. Someone seemed to be laying a new floor in the apartment upstairs which started about 8am and was unacceptable. So many apartments squeezed into a very small space.
The property was nicely laid out with a comfy bed and lots of hot water.

AustraliaOverall for the money we paid ( perhaps inflated by peak period) I was disappointed. It is pretty much self service with close to no staff interaction. We were there 4 nights and had no option to have the room serviced so ran out of toilet paper and soap and didn’t have the garbage emptied. Beds and pillows quite uncomfortable. Bathroom didn’t feel super clean, nor did the pool. Power was out for a few hours during the day. Described as luxury accommodation but definitely not that. Perhaps it’s okay at a normal rate but at around 400 per night it was not value for money.
The location as great. An easy walk into town. The room was large and the outdoor furniture was quite good. On request they did allow us to keep our bags in their office on the last day after check out.

AustraliaThe security camera at the entrance is really intrusive. And the recorded message that says “HI YOU ARE CURRENTLY BEING RECORDED” every time someone walks in or you enter your apartment or a moth or something sparks the motion sensor is not only creepy but you can hear it from the bedroom and it made sleeping soundly very difficult. My daughter found that sound in the middle of the night scary and that created its own problems regarding sleeping arrangements. The toilet in the main bedroom makes a high pitched squealing sound that lasts for about 5 minutes every time you flush. Great location for town but also on a main road so even though the photos online made it look like a zen paradise, the traffic is v loud.
It is easy walking distance to the centre of Byron. The beds were comfy and the house was clean.

AustraliaWe could hear the people upstairs walking around and sliding their chairs. Kept us awake at night. Bathrooms outdated, need an upgrade and a really good clean.
Very cute aesthetic, didn’t get to enjoy the pool due to poor weather.

AustraliaOverall, the room wasn’t clean. Previous visitors toiletries were in the room, hairs all over the bathroom and just wasn’t clean at all. The coffee table and floods didn’t seem clean either. Our tv didn’t work and we had someone come and look at it and couldn’t fix it (it rained our whole trip and it would’ve been good to be able to use it). It wasn’t very well equipped in general. For the price you pay, it’s very expensive and we unfortunately wish we stayed somewhere else.
The bed was so comfortable, it was like a huge cloud.

AustraliaThe interactions with the property management was less than satisfactory. We were supposed to be in the Beach House but weren’t & when I raised this, they didn’t seem to care. I enquired about staying an extra night & they quoted $600 but on booking.com was $362. When I raised this, they didn’t respond at all.

United KingdomCheck in is a bit difficult as there is nobody on site you just have to call a number & gate to property is never locked so anyone can walk in. Also shower has no door which isn’t a problem but water goes over the entire bathroom floor and leaves it very wet
In a great location, only a 5 minute walk into the town and beach. Bed is so comfortable, room spacious and very clean. Has iron which is very handy and fridge for water and snacks. Communal kitchen on site which is great including a BBQ. Pool nice and clean.

AustraliaMold in shower, no soap in dispenser, no coat hangers, no tissues. Power points not working ... had to move the furniture around so as to get power for my laptop which made access to the bathroom tricky ... they really need an electrician to repair instead of placing covers over faulty outlets. Refrigerator freezer frosted over to the point of being unable to open or use it. Invisible staff ... Communal kitchen filled with what appeared to be leftovers from previous guests.
Not much ...

United StatesWe booked three rooms . Only two were unlocked . They tried to tell us it was because we only had three people . We sent all booking details and they promised to send somebody to u lock the 3rd room for us . They never showed up. Somebody had to sleep on the couch . They promised resolution then began to ignore our calls and we received no compensation and no service although we paid and sent proof of all three rooms being secured. We have taken it up with the booking company
