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.).

AustraliaThe room service was terrible, the restaurant for dinner was closed due to Christmas but room service was available but could not get through and they forgot to bring spoons and our drinks when we ordered. The pool could have more lights around it at night for it to be safer for children. The used coffee cups should have been replaced every day not just rinsed out. There could have been a table and chair setting out on the balcony. The pool on level 1 and the building next to it looked abandoned and scary going to that area.
The beds were super comfy

United KingdomThe Room was barely equipped. I was recommended the hotel by family due to their room having a kitchenette and basic appliances(Microwave etc). My room had two double beds in a single room, a Bathroom(with a dodgy door with broken handle) and a small bar fridge. We were staying for 8 days with a 2 year old and 1 year old, who eat constantly. When I asked the hotel staff about getting a toaster or microwave, they said they would, but they don't have any(Which is not what I heard from the recomendations). If the room was better equipped, with basics, such as a microwave and toaster(You can't expect families to eat every single meal, through room service)
Loved the location. Plenty of activities nearby for our two kids. Loads of Restaurants and bars close by too.

Australiathe property is dated (very dated) the TV was at least 15 years old the Aircon was not cold enough for the cairns weather and couldn’t control or change the temperature. the property is a little walk from the esplanade. the room was not the cleanest, there was dust everywhere. while by themselves these are not deal breakers but add the price into the equation and it’s a really underwhelming deal.
the view from the room & multiple swimming pools the staff, check in and check out process was quick and seamless.

AustraliaThe only negative that I saw was that maybe the paintwork could do with a bit of freshening up and things provided like the kettle and iron weren't brand new but that did not detract from my stay at all. Everything else more than made up for this.
I loved my time at Rydges, the staff are exceptional very friendly and extremely helpful, the food at the restaurant was faultless to me, the pool facilities were clean and big enough for a great swim with towels provided...also a great gift shop on site where you can purchase essentials like milk, bottled water and biscuits without having to go out of the facility...rooms are a great size also with a couch and a separate table to eat at so you didnt feel like you were just in a small box like some hotels can make you feel like. The facility itself, all of the hallways and reception area etc were very well maintained and clean with great views of all of the city of Cairns. Keep up the great work Rydges staff you were all a pleasure to deal with!!

AustraliaBreakfast options reasonably small for $34 PP. sheets were stained and pillow cases had makeup on them so clearly had not been changed. When we advised hotel reception on departure (as we arrived at 2am for one night), there was no offer of compensation and didn’t seem to care. Just said they would tell housekeeping. Pretty gross sleeping in someone else’s sheets…
Location was good.

Australia‘Garden view’ room was a massive shrub. No outdoor furniture. Bathrooms look like you could catch a disease in them. Very outdated bedrooms and bed covers. No cutlery unless you borrow from restaurant. Towels are shredded. Fridge smells like something died in it. The iron in the cupboard did more damage to clothing- shouldve just worn the clothes scrunched because they arw now stained and burnt. Pool is not suitable for non swimming kids. No spa area. Guests staying in the hotel have to pay for parking unheard of in my travelling experience.
Location is good. Price point is good
