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.).

AustraliaRoom had water leak, paint peeling and black mould on carpet. In Oaks, but run by 3rd party. Keys provided didn't work on common door. Left as soon as we could find alternative accommodation. Should have read reviews... They have refused to provide us a refund after knowingly putting an unfit room up for booking.
Getting out of there.

AustraliaFrustrating getting access cards.. the email contained incorrect information and no location. Had to call Airtrip team, leave a message and wait for response. Then had to hunt through a number of small lock boxes that had combination locks but no lighting to assist. Finally got the second card that did not unlock any doors so arrangements made for Osks staff to assist. The fridges in both units did not freeze any item put into the freezer section. There were small black flies in all drawers and cupboards in one unit along with numerous cockroaches over a 4 day period.. reported immediately and took 3 days to get an actual physical response. 2 doors in the second unit 805B had damaged hinges and didn’t function correctly or close. The TV in 805B developed a screen fault - this was replaced but not set up. Instructions to access FOXTEL did not work. Shower drain in 805B did not drain quickly and a ‘pool’ developed whilst showering… which did eventually drain. Bathroom on 805A was not used due to black flies and multiple cockroaches during stay.
Its location was good. In city and close to facilities.

AustraliaI was given the wrong room. I paid $1500 for a 100sqm room with a balcony, kitchen, washing machine and dryer. I was given a 20sqm showbox with no balcony, windows that didn't open, no kitchen, no washing machine and no dryer. I called the host multiple times a day to find out what was happening, if I would be placed in another room, or if I would receive a refund. Each phone call they just said they would direct it to their team. A week later I have still had no response
The location was great.

AustraliaThe booking felt deceptive, I did not realise at the time I was not booking direct with Oaks. There is nothing in the advertisement stating it is a private rental managed by Airtrip, but shows a picture of the Oaks Apartment sign in the add. There are signs everywhere within the building stating Oaks are not responsible for any Airtrip room issues. The TV worked, but is old fashioned and did not allow casting netflix etc to it. Signage advertising how to use Foxtel were incorrect, as there was no Foxtel. The dishwasher was broken and did not work at all. A rep did come up and check it, and measured for a new one, but It did not show up during my time there. For a 2 week stay, I would have appreciated these things.
The dual-room setup, cleanliness and location were close to perfect. The Airtrip help line is quick to reply, just use the booking.com app to contact them. It worked well. I read that some have problems with retreiving their room key from the lock-boxes across the road... but it is actually an easy process and all the information is suppled ahead of time. Follow the steps and it works out fine.

Had to contact air trip for every thing and reception would not help. We left an item in the room and have not had a response regarding where we can collect it. Pillows were truly terrible. We had to get our own. The shower pressure was very very soft and dissapointing.
