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...).

AustraliaThe main TV in our unit didn't work during our stay, but at least the TV in the room was good. The bistro by poolside is a great set up but the very long wait for food needs to be improved. Pool side needs attention by maintenance before they open up each day, clean up of any rubbish especially a few band aids seen around😬 a good pressure wash of the pavers as the bases/stands of the large umbrellas are quite rusted which makes the area near the lounges look and feel dirty.
Location so close to the local Woolworths and eateries is great. The main reason we chose Turtle Beach was for the pools and slides which our little one loved 😍 he had the best time. Staff on reception were friendly.

AustraliaThe check in time at 3pm seems a bit too late considering you have to be out by 10 am, stairs to go up to rooms were a bit dangerous especially with slippery feet, a lift would of been good but I can understand not practical, for the price the resort is a bit outdated and the food and drinks from The Deck Cafe located on sites were not very nice
The splash pools for the kids were a hit, and very family orientated atmosphere, located in a good position and nestled away a bit from the main road, hardly any noise from traffic was heard at night

AustraliaBeds weren't comfy, even my 8yo had aching joints. Pools weren't very clean. Asked staff before going what carpark height was, they said 2m, but it it was 2.1 so we could have bought our more practical car.
Good value for money and ideal for travelling with kids! To have kitchen & laundry, separate bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and water park, playgrounds etc plus handy location with supermarket in walking distance

AustraliaThe kids enjoyed the pool and slides. A few more options to keep towels and sit down would be handy. Plenty of room to swim. If the closed pool was open, that would have been even better The room was suitable for our size, inclusions such as laundry and dishwasher powder was convenient. I could not find the bins, and after asking reception twice ended up just using the skip bin outside of the building. Maybe more signage?

AustraliaHaving only one towel per person and having to PAY for pool towels! That was crap and we should actually get our money back from returning pool towels. I paid deposit in cash so ideally they should return my deposit in cash also but nope they're debiting it into my acct.
The many different swim areas, the apartment we had, had a full kitchen. The restaurant right outside our room area. The parking was great also being undercover and having direct access to our stairwell.

AustraliaThe fact that for a family friendly resort, pushing a pram is quiet hard as there are just stairs everywhere. Even to get up to the restaurant, its all stairs and for a single parent that gets quite hard.
We love all the activities, the pools and the slides. The food at the restaurant was delicious. Room was spacious and clean.

Great Family resort. Pools and slides were great, playground, putt putt, on site activities for children and the cafe was exceptional. We ate at the cafe several times and every meal was amazing and well priced, staff in all departments were friendly. We loved the convenience of having everything so handy. Shops walking distance too for everything you need.

AustraliaThe doors and pathways with multiple steps were not very pram friendly or easy to navigate when carrying lots of things. There was scheduled maintenance on one of the pools during our stay, which I know is necessary, but closing that pool meant that the pool near us was incredibly overcrowded and hard to swim in.
The apartment was big, clean, and had everything we could possibly need. The pools were nice and well maintained. The staff were nice and helpful.
