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...).

AustraliaWe had friendly, helpful and prompt contact with the owners when needed. Serene Beachside Apartment is a lovely little apartment that was clean, well stocked with supplies and very comfortable. It was in a quiet location with easy access to cafes and the beach. We felt right at home the moment we walked in the door.

AustraliaA perfect spot to get away and relax; if you want to be in the middle of things, maybe it's not for you. A hassle-free street parking but not covered (which may be a problem in inclement weather). Two minor things: the large wall clock stopped at 5:30 - maybe on purpose to make you 'travel beyond time' but it made me confused a few times. And one light on the balcony does not work. It depends on what kind of a holiday you like, we will be back:)
A wonderful upstairs apartment (very private) in a beach house in a family-oriented, non-touristy community. Beautifully appointed (the owners thought of everything). Less than 10min walk to an uncrowded beach, a master-planned community with multiple bike/walking paths, a lake and tons of greenery. 2 fantastic cafes and a seafood restaurant 5min walk, shopping strip with IGA, pharmacy, bottle shop and a few eateries 10min drive.

New ZealandI found the bed a degree too firm, only because of a bad back and not to do with the quality of the bed.
Great location. The apartment is well equipped and has all you’d need for a short trip. A short stroll to the beach and very accessible to other Sunshine Coast attractions. Marcoola is a lovely spot for a getaway. A few local restaurants and cafes are worth supporting. Hosts were very attentive.

The hosts prepared a very comprehensive guide and are very prompt in their replies. They were also very kind to let us have an early checkin and late checkout. Will definitely be back for sure!

AustraliaWhen I was booking my sunshine coast trip my criteria was an idyllic location and accommodation that was self contained, well equipped, clean, in a quiet spot, safe and close to the beach. Serenity was all those things. A really cute apartment where the hosts have clearly considered the user experience...right down to the provision of gowns and even an actual espresso coffee machine (no Nescafe sachets:).

AustraliaThe pillows were too big and not soft enough for me. I thought they were more suitable for a man. Having said that I am petite in height and weight so that is often an issue when I am travelling.
The location was wonderful for me as I like to walk. I have friends who live on the Sunshine Coast and drove me to a supermarket on two occasions. If you don't have friends to help out you would need a car but the location is so lovely that hiring a car is worth the experience of holidaying in Marcoola.

AustraliaThe one teeny tiny thing is shower can be quite slippery . A non slip mat would be helpful.
Property was just as described. Even better than the pics. Spotlessly clean with everything you could need in a home away from home. Hosts were extremely kind and just a phone call away. I was a little hesitant to book as there is no parking on-site however it was really easy to park on the street, right outside the property. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to have the opportunity to book again soon. Deb 🌸

Comfortable bed, divine bathroom products, kitchen/laundry well set up for longer stays. Having the use of bikes was a real plus.
