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.).

Australia* Food was too expensive. *Higher tier restaurants and clubs (such as the Golf Club) should have an age restriction of 12 plus - no one wants to enjoy a meal near screaming children. * Appliances in the rooms are very dated - for instance the TVs. At least some Smart TVs could be installed. A microwave would be useful in rooms aswell. Our bar fridge was broken and had missing parts. The AC system was dated and the outdoor unit looked crusty and terrible. The electronic safe didnt work. * Need to Police drink driving. We saw two young guys in their buggy that were so drunk that they could barely string a sentence together and were drooling out of their mouths. Disgusting and criminal.
* Food was fantastic across the board and portion sizes were great * Staff service was world class * Shared facilities (gym, pool, buggy hire) were excellent

AustraliaThe birds can be a lot, don’t leave balcony door open or eat on the balcony as the cockatoos will flock.
The buffet breakfast is definitely worth it, the staff are all so lovely and helpful. The view is incredible!! The hotel has a great free shuttle bus around the island and to the airport. We had the best time.

AustraliaStaff at restaurant forgot to bring us 2 mocktails that we ordered before the food at dinner. When we asked the waitress about them we were asked if we still wanted them as we just finished eating. We got them but when I went to pay they were charged twice. At checkout I was asked what we consumed out of the minibar but not mentioned in the last 24h. I told the receptionist what we consumed throughout the whole stay, meaning the first day after our arrival. She charged them again to our room although they appeared automatically after the first day when the bar was replenished. We fixed that before we departed only to get again a phone call from the same receptionist while we were in the airport preparing to fly to ask for my bank card details as she forgot taking them for the refund.
Room was very nice, perfect view, breakfast buffet choice was excellent

AustraliaThe bathroom is very dated (pretty much original) but it was very clean. It just lets down the room as a whole as the bedroom is upgraded and looks great. The buffet breakfast was good but very busy. Reef hotel guests can go to Sails restaurant on catseye beach which was much quieter.
Love the location, right opposite Catseye beach with easy access to the main pool and hotel pool. We were in a king room on floor 18 so the view was amazing.
