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.).

AustraliaCar parking was disappointing. For a hotel with about 100 rooms 8-10 car parks is not enough. They should not claim to have car parking if its not guaranteed.
Fantastic location. Easy walk to night markets and the best waterside restaurants. Straight across the road from the lagoon. Also an easy walk to the vessels that travel out to the reef and the islands.

AustraliaThe pool area is very dull. A restaurant or breakfast area would have been nice 😊
Location is great. Location of room not ideal initially and staff were happy to move us but the tv in that room didn’t work so they upgraded us which was lovely. Thank you!

AustraliaWe stayed in room 711 which was a three bedroom apartment. The living area, kitchen and balcony were great and clean. The bathrooms and laundry were so mouldy. There’s no ventilation in them which is such a shame.
The location is great for conferences and close to tours and supermarkets etc. close to the esplanade which is great when you are travelling with your kids. The staff at reception were welcoming and kind and helpful throughout our stay. We stayed on the top level and had beautiful ocean views from our balcony.

AustraliaThe hotel was close to everything, shops, cafes, restaurants, lagoon, Woolworths, casino and the marina. Room was a great size and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Free car parking. Room only serviced once during our 8 night stay (no drama) but if we needed anything only had to ask the friendly reception staff. Highly recommend !!

AustraliaAccess to towels and condiments on own floor instead of having to go to reception each time. Furniture in room could do with updating at some point
Ease of checking in, excellent location within minutes of the Esplanade, Lagoon and Marina, friendly and helpful staff Free undercover parking was excellent due to its busy location. Overall, the 1-bedroom apartment was very comfortable. Would stay here again next time in Cairns.
