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...).

United StatesFire alarm awoke us before 6 am and went off for more than ten minutes before they stopped it. Super annoying. The carpets need a good cleaning or replacement because of the damp mustiness.
View of esplanade, free wifi, good security, location, lanai with cafe table and chairs, spacious. We were upgraded for free as ACCOR member and nearby restaurant Coco's Kitchen and Bar was in another ACCOR hotel which honored the promised 50% off our dinner tab for two. Our discount of $62 was greater than the balance due of $58. Air conditioning was excellent. Milk and tea & instant coffee was a nice touch.

United KingdomNothing at all!
Located on the Esplanade within a 10-minute walk of the Marina and a 20-minute walk to the train station for the train to Kuranda. We had a one-bedroom apartment with a “panoramic city view” (it was lovely to wake up to see the Woolworths shop every morning!) Seriously though, the apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, nice sitting room, bedroom with a massive comfy bed, and a bathroom with a bath and also a washing machine and drier. We had a nice balcony, although the aircon unit blew hot air at you and we found you needed to turn it off before sitting outside. The hotel had a nice, if somewhat cold, outside pool. There was a gym, which we didn’t use. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, and there was an endless supply of tea and coffee available at reception.

AustraliaWe were in a room that had an adjoining door to another room and it was quite loud when the neighbours came back closing and undoing their door. Also the little room that has both doors has a light which couldn't be turned off and the gap in the door made it very bright
The location was fantastic. It was also great having a balcony

AustraliaSome utilities missing from kitchen, e.g ice cube tray, placemats, water jug. The toaster was a small cheap plastic job. The furniture was old and outdated. The day blinds were missing leaving only the blackout blinds. However, the positives of this hotel outweigh the negatives. An icecube tray would have been handy though 😔
Stayed in 1 bedroom apartment. A basic space with good balcony views of the Esplanade. A central position within walking distance to restaurants, cafes, the lagoon, galleries, city shops, etc. The hotel is very quiet & the staff are lovely. The apartment was very clean.

AustraliaBathroom requires a lick of paint. AC unit requires service, not working efficiently. Preferred additional towels on-site vs requesting, suggest two towels per head count, though I understand this may not be always possible as some guests can be wasteful.
Location was fantastic, view was great as view of the trees/ vegetation (birds ) Front desk team where more than accomodating on our requests.
