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.).

CanadaThe exhaust fan didn’t work and despite asking reception to assist, we had to shower with the door open. The lobby was dead, boarded up shops, no energy no vibes. The hot tub was not working, no heat. The pool fence was also broken so we had to go through the entire building.

AustraliaThere is a need to fix a couple of small issues which were handles were missing from three draws in the kitchen, no TV in the bedroom (though a bracket in there where one used to be), and perhaps look at replacing the airconditioner as the bottom has bits missing and the plastic cover is yellowed with age (it worked well though).
I was upgraded to a one bedroom apartment with views and balcony out the front. Lovely green trees to enjoy. The apartment was spacious and included a full size kitchen and bathroom with washing machine and dryer. Staff were efficient and friendly. Really enjoyed my stay of 7 nights.

AustraliaInitially the facilities seemed a little dated. The first room was very basic and dated with a bathroom that proved difficult to find a consistent water temperature and inadequate room. More rooms need to be updated to provide a consistent experience for customers. Turn down service would have been nice given the time we stayed even if it was once a week - rather than requesting items at reception.
Great location and the staff were exceptional - Nyk was amazing to find a room upgrade so quickly and checked the room herself as well. Highly recommend upgrading to an apartment suite for room and better facilities as the upgrade made the stay all the better.

AustraliaThey offered a kettle but were no PowerPoints to plug it in so was using it on the bathroom sink, a couple of modern pieces of furniture in the room, but it was overall very dated. Delayed checkin despite them confirming and me confirming several time id be in cairns at from 9 am with small children after leaving home at 230am and would like a room at 2pm checkin only to be left waiting in lobby with sooky children.
Location, location, location. Close to the lagoon, shops, cafes, parks.

United KingdomThe apartment had a terrible smell of old smoke (previous occupants must have been heavy smokers). The smell never went away the whole time we stayed there. The sofa bed was impossible to sleep on - the bed frame was so buckled, we had to take the mattress off and put it on the floor, which provided some relief, but the mattress was very old and bad quality so it still wasn’t very comfortable. No tumble dryer and nowhere to dry clothes once washing machine had completed, apart from a retractable line in the damp bathroom.
Location was excellent - overlooking the esplanade and lagoon. Main bed was comfortable. Washing machine was very convenient. Good kitchen facilities. Good wardrobe space.

AustraliaCar park is tight, but was important feature for me. Didnt want my 4x4 on the street. That was why I chose this location over 3 other nearby options.
Loved the location for this special time with my teenage daughter. Having balcony looking out toward the north also gave us spectacular views of the lagoons and the triple thunderstorms that week. Was able to easily walk everywhere we wanted to go in the city even in the high humidity. Only used gym once but excellent addition. Was the perfect choice. Staff were exceptional.
