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 place feels a bit abandoned and it is unclear how much if ever it will be refurbished. No printed welcome info, unclear if rooms are serviced. Help on the desk was appreciated.
Great location on the Esplanade and we had a spacious ground floor room with adequate small courtyard. Bathroom a bit tired but good shower. Can be a little noisy in the tiled foyer area and when early yoga class lot use the stairs. While front bar is out of action, generally quiet. Pool and terrace on roof a bonus. Good to hear waves breaking at night.

AustraliaIN ONE ROOM, WE BOOKED AND PAID FOR 3 GUESTS. NOHEN WE RETIRED THE FIRST NIGHT, WE SAW THERE WAS NO BEDDING / TOWELS FOR THE 3rd PERSON (WHO WE WERE AWARE WAS TO USE A SOFA BED). THIS CAME TO OUR NOTICE ONLY AT BED-TIME - TOO LATE FOR ANY RECEPTION ASSISTANCE. HYGENICALLY, THIS WAS MOST UNSATISFACTORY. THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE CONFRONTED RECEPTION, WE WERE TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT IT WAS OUR FAULT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR BEDDING AT CHECK-IN . THIS IS A STANDARD MAINSTREAM ACCOMMODATION (CHARGING PLENTY) AND WE EXPECTED THAT THE "BEDROOMS" AND BEDS (ONE DOUBLE BED AND ONE SOFA) WOULD HAVE, ON OUR ARRIVAL, AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDED BEDDIMG AND TOWELS. AFTER THEDAY 2 MEETING AT RECEPTION, WE DID ASK - SO WE GOT THESE THIINGS FOR THE SECOND NIGHT. i FEEL IT UNREASONABLE THAT WE ARE STILL CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $40 PER NIGHT FOR THE 3RD GUEST, AND THERE WAS NO ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES PROVIDED BY THE HOTEL ON THE FIRST NIGHT. I BELIEVE A $40 REFUND IS REASONABLE.

AustraliaBlanket was hidden away until I found it in closet,chairs and table had limited shade from rain and it got wet, making an uncomfortable wet night. Blanket should at least be on the bed, first impression cause I came back from work and don't want to go looking for everything, basics like a good thick blanket should be in sight
Bathroom,TV couch and the space was nice but iv seen better for same price or less

AustraliaThe shower floor seemed a little stained and it would have been nicer if it was newer - but it didn't put us off.
The accommodation was in a central location and had a great deck upstairs overlooking the beach. The room was a good size. The bathroom is a bit dated, but had everything you needed.

AustraliaWe arrived late, parked in the rear car park, then couldn't get in from there. We then wheeled our cases in the streets to go around to get to the lock box for our key. We would have liked to know this access issue beforehand.Visible dust all along the bedhead and the fire detector was open and not functional as far as we know. Thankyou.
Great bed, very comfortable.

New ZealandThe downstairs bar/restaurant seems to be getting renovated, so that will be great when it is up & running!
The location was great! Close to everything & had an excellent rooftop area with a pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was, it seemed like there weren't many children at the accommodation and was more so just other couples.

AustraliaI ordered two single beds on booking.com but we got a king instead. However they had upgraded us to a lovely ocean front room, and I'm not sure if this is what I had originally booked for and paid for. Because the bed so was large it was easy to share and I had a great night sleep. Overall lovely clean, fun, interesting place to stay right in the heart of Palm Cove.
View was lovely, quirky atmosphere and architectural style, old world charm.
