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...).

AustraliaBed was horrible to sleep on and is my only complaint. We had 3 nights booked. I requested to be moved on the 2nd night,but was too late to have us move as they were already at 100% capacity but was fine for the 3rd night. We were given a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. We didn't stay the 3rd night, as the 2nd night was too much for our backs and opted to leave early that morning. We requested a refund for the 3rd night and they gracefully accepted. I thought they handled the manner professionally unlike many hotel managers do.
Pool and Gardens well maintained. Bedroom overlooking pool was great and surprisingly with sound proof windows. Cnr bath was big enough,just ashame it wasn't a spa bath.

AustraliaThere’s no bar. The pool looked smaller than the pictures, the grass was brown and needed manicuring around the pool. The Matt at our door was saturated in mud so we walked mud into the room. The couch was tiny, could barely fit one person on it. Very uncomfortable. There were ants in the bathroom.

New ZealandThe furniture in the family unit was falling to pieces. The extractor fans did not work, the cushions had feathers falling out of them. The toaster did not work. The leather seats were not good enough for holiday travellers. The area around the stove was dirty. Not enough face cloths.
The pool was lovely. Our apartments were a great size and the beds were comfy.

AustraliaThe resort wasn't advertised to be a 'self service'; but this was used as a reason for no cleaning during your stay. Therefore it was not a comfortable stay; limited towels available even though there were pool facilities, air conditioner was broken, mould on the ceiling after one night and the coffee machine leaked. We had to move to a similar but s bit better room in the middle of our stay. Wouldn't recommended for a longer stay than a couple of nights.

AustraliaCleaners can't clean. Room was tiny for the $270 per night. Nowhere near value for money. 17 nights, cleaned twice yet all they did was change the bed. Bathroom wasnt cleaned, toilet wasn't cleaned. Complained after 2nd "clean" and still only half done. Pathetic. Outside room was messy and wasn't raked ir looked after the entire stay.

AustraliaFor $300 a night my partner and I certainly expected something nicer. The bathroom roof looked like it was halfway through being renovated, the dishwasher was filled with water and they didn’t give us any dish washing tablets for it, the DVD player was broken and the wifi was incredibly slow when we did manage to get it working. The blinds were broken in the living room, and there’s no designated parking spots so once you snag one near your apartment you don’t want to move your car as it’ll likely be taken by the time you get back.
The beds were surprisingly comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and sweet.

AustraliaUnfortunately despite being super clean there is definitely some maintenance issues. one of the sitcoms was unusable due to how loud it was, every lamp in the town house had exposed wires, the exhaust fan in the main bathroom was half hanging out. for $500 a night you’d expect to not have to un plug the lamps for the safety of your children.
very clean and spacious town house with ample space for a big family.

AustraliaWe had not expected to have to carry our luggage upstairs. The bath was spacious with a shower over the bath. It had a few steps to get in and rail to hold. This was difficult for people in their 80,s. We would prefer walk-in shower with no steps.
Room and grounds were clean, attractive and fitted our needs for a one night stay. Beds were comfortable.
