Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

AustraliaThe beds were terrible, pillows were old and sheets did not appear clean. The shower facilities were dirty and there was barely hot water. The pool was leaking all over the sitting area that should be fixed so you’re not having to walk through puddles of water. The Wifi didn’t work at all.
Location is ok if needing to access Cairns for travel or activities.

AustraliaI obviously didn't realise that we booked a backpackers stay. There were quite a few people hanging around doorways. There were small cockroaches running about, shower and toilet outside the room. Didn't feel safe.
People at reception were nice. The aircon worked well.

AustraliaThe two single bed frames were so bowed in the middle you could not even sleep properly. It was more than a saggy mattress, it was a broken bed frame on both. Air conditioner was not cold at all, and it made a hideous noise.

It also.needed facilities for washing dishes and a toaster for breakfast therefore am.unable to.reccomend your establishment to.my family 1nd friends.

AustraliaFor a trip with just me as a single parent it was fine and as budget accommodation for our one night but if it was a longer trip and I was in a couple with children or multiple families staying together it would have been nicer having 2 bedrooms with a door as there is no privacy from each other except the bathroom.
The room was spacious and offered plenty of beds for all of us.

Australia~limited parking ~extremely poor mattresses in my room. ~One was only foam and the other I could feel the springs while attempting to sleep ~ Al lot of the taps drip in the toilets and the showers, despite the taps being turned off tight ~ communal kitchen facilities near the pool were cleaned well in the morning, however, very few utensils to cook with and only one electric burner working out of three ~
~Pool area was delightful ~some of the house keeping staff were angels and did everything they could to help you
