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 floors were a bit dirty, our feet were black after a shower and walking around in the room. Had to wipe them with wet wipes before getting into bed!
Everything was great and the staff were friendly.

United KingdomSamphire is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are well-equipped, spacious and comfortable. It’s a very short walk from the bike hire and the centre of the little town on Rottnest. We didn’t have time to use it, but the pool area looked nice too. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. All in all, this is a great, if fairly expensive place to book if you plan to stay on Rottnest overnight.

AustraliaUpstairs there were some tiles that looks new and not properly grouted yet, so they felt a bit loose to walk on
The luxurious feel of the Samphire made our stay and experience in itself. Yes, the price may be on the higher end, but with how great the staff are, how modern, neat and tidy the rooms are, how amazing the pool area is, it’s a valid price point. It’s such a convenient spot right by the main beach and restaurants, making dinner and drinks easy before rolling into bed. It honestly feels like a mini resort holiday from our actual holiday on the island

Canadahad to remind housekeeping to tidy the room late in the day for two days. they did this and we were pleased with the cleaning. The ocean swimming in front of the hotel is limited but we did find a small beach about 1 kilometer walk from the hotel. The swimming was excellent.
Almina was very helpful in completing arrangements for us.

AustraliaStaff could be a little more accommodating. Wanted to upgrade to a oceanfront room at quite an expense but had to check out of old room by 10am and couldn’t check back in till 3pm. Staff couldn’t offer a late checkout or have the new room ready any earlier apparently., ( our stay was mid week) Not very flexible seeing as you are already a paying guest.
Beautiful rooms, location, decor, facilities.
