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.).

AustraliaThere were a few interruptions with tradies having to fix first the smoke alarms which went off without any reason. The washing machine tub filled overnight from a drip at the back, even though everything was switched off and flooded the bathroom floor. The microwave stopped working but I was able to fix it by switching it off at the back and then back on to reset. The safe we were never able to open as previous tenants had left it shut with their personal code. The safety latch on the front door was only half screwed in...We notified Management about everything....and management were quick to send trades people to fix things as they arose....Location was fabulous...would stay there again!
We provided our own breakfast...kitchen was well equipped and user friendly. There is also a cafe on the corner of the building where you can order meals, coffee cakes etc.... with a daily special for each day of the week.

SwitzerlandWe wouldn't class the apartment we stayed in as "deluxe" - the kitchenware and some of the furniture appeared quite cheap, and the cream sofa especially has seen better days, it was worn and very grubby which felt a bit icky to sit on. As the apartment is nestled away in the inner corner our view was only of other balconies, unfortunately not of the beach as we had hoped.
Friendly staff when checking in (though at a separate location to the apartment, not onsite). The apartment location within Port Douglas is great, just across the road from four mile beach and away from the busy centre but only a short walk away. The apartment was spacious and functional with everything we needed for our stay.

AustraliaWe were not told it was on the third floor ( and I have a spinal injury). There are no lifts and the steps are very steep, more than your normal stair height. Sadly as much as our apartment looked beautiful. It was in need of a lot of maintenance. Eg the washing machine flooded, the dishwasher never worked the whole 10 days of our trip, the sliding door was coming off it’s track, there was no water jug , no salad servers other than huge big long bbq tongs,clock on wall was broken, blankets for beds hadn’t been cleaned from previous tenants. Seascape were incredible and tried their best to fix as much as they could and we got one night off of accommodation. But I do feel some of these could and should have been checked before guests go in.Also wifi was down during our stay. Other than this the apartment was lovely, very big. Large spacious kitchen and loving dinning table and dunked lounge room. Would stay again here!
Centrally located, spacious bedrooms and apartment was lovely, ensuite and another bathroom. Gorgeous view of pool and beach.

AustraliaThe apartment was not clean, mainly the floors, when we arrived. The cleaning products used were overpowering in terms of smell. The couch in loungeroom was filthy and sticky. A large linen bag was left outside the apartment and not collected until I advised Seascape office 3 days later.
Location was fantastic and the apartment was large and somewhat comfortable.
