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.).

AustraliaFront of hotel looked old and not looked after. One store front closed in front of hotel. David was great and helpful. Hotel needs a full makeover to compete with other hotels or stays. Probably would look for other accommodation next time we visit.

AustraliaRoom itself was a little tired but clean enough. Not soundproof. Hotel reception, rooftop, pool area, reception, outside areas were VERY rundown and quite dirty and unkept. Businesses at front of hotel are shut down and derelict. Free outdoor parking.
Staff were very friendly (if unprofessional). Location is A1. Price is right. Pool was clean and well maintained.

AustraliaTown seems a little flat, a few closed businesses, renovations etc. To be expected, I guess given cost of living pressures.
Pet friendly, the whole of Palm Cove seems to be Pet friendly.

AustraliaA couple of small things missing from our room, (teaspoons, washing up necessities) but no drama really, the staff provided them promptly upon request) and some parts of the room need maintenance (skirting boards need repair and paint, courtyard could do with some TLC), but overall it was really good. This was our third stay.
Fantastic location in the heart of Palm Cove near the restaurants and shops, and across the road from the beach! Great to be able to bring our two dogs along for a short holiday. Room is a great size. Bed is huge and comfy. The pool on the roof is very nice.

SwedenSomewhat too much to maintain for the staff working at the time there it seamed, common areas on top of hotel has soo much potential, with roof pool and many sunbeds/tables/chairs but not cosy decorated, nor clean. Got a feeling this hotel was recovering from post covid /cyclone effects still.
Location, mid beach, on the esplanade. We upgraded from a base floor apartment which none of them have any view at all, to a nice apartment on 2nd floor, with nice balcony towards beach with table/chairs for evening drinks. AC/Aircon in living room and bedroom was lovely. Staaf was super helpful and friendly.

AustraliaThe rooftop balcony area could have had more seating & tables to cater for eating with the fabulous view & would have been good if our dog could have had an area set aside near the swimming pool.
The location was excellent in the middle of the esplanade & our dog friendly room was very clean & spacious. The rooftop pool was a lovely size
