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 booking agent was efficient but arduous in the booking process. Compared to other properties I’ve booked the amount of information and questions they needed answered were excessive. I asked for 2 sets of keys - not possible. As you needed the key to access and leave the garage having only one set amongst 4 independent guests was problematic. The lock box (letterbox) was inconvenient particularly in bad weather. I asked for twin room to be made up as double/king - not possible The shower in both bathrooms was difficult to adjust and lacked water flow. The tap in the main bathroom dripped continuously. Main balcony was very dirty.
The property was in lovely condition and presented very well. The kitchen was generously stocked with plateware/glassware/cookware and all appliances were in new condition. Beds comfortable and bedrooms spacious. Lovely quiet location close to beach and town. Would stay there again 👍

Australiathe dishwasher wasn't installed correctly and fell out of the kitchen cupboard when you opened it. The bathrooms were a little tired and water pressure wasn't great. Tap washers need replacement because the taps were dripping.
the location was amazing, the kitchen space was fabulous as was the living area. The beds were super comfy.

AustraliaNo soap provided. I contacted the booking agent who said they provide a welcome pack with some essentials but everything else is at the care of the renter. I’m fine with that, but arriving and finding no soap to be had in the apartment is disappointing and frankly, weird. Bedrooms are comfortable but the bathrooms are original and in need of a renovation. For the price charged and the “luxury” billing on the ad, the bathrooms are not luxury. The sink tap in the main bathroom leaked constantly and the washer needs to be replaced. The battery in the remote that operates the fan in the master bedroom had gone flat so it was not possible to put on the fan at night, even when the temperature was above 25c. We were not provided with a key that opened the front door to the apartment on the ground level so we were forced to enter through the basement. Also, the spare garage remotes failed to open the garage. Luckily our son was able to let us in but it could have been very inconvenient.
Convenient location close to the Centre of Nelson Bay. Kitchen is nicely renovated and well appointed. Living and dining and comfortable.

Australia- my credit card details were stolen when booking online and used in the local area - the toilet could use a bin, an exhaust fan (at least to ensure some privacy!).
- well equipped kitchen - good size/space - secure parking (although the garage opener was temperamental) - clean and tastefully decorated - the air conditioner wasn’t working but the team ensured new heaters were available which kept a the place warm

AustraliaEverything was perfect!
Absolutely loved the apartment, perfect size, very family friendly, clean and tidy, had everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry facilities, the kids loved swimming in the pool, close walk to Nelson Bay marina, shops, cafes and Duckies beach which is really kid friendly, relaxed and not too busy. The kids begged us to stay longer! Can’t wait to plan our next visit :) thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment to make memories with our children

AustraliaThere were a few things that were not good. I had trouble working out how to use the dishwasher. When I called the support number, the support was useless. I worked it out eventually but some instructions in the apartment would be good, especially when using items that are not intuitive. The cooktop fan would not turn off, so it was going 24/7…. very annoying. We ran out of toilet paper, and there were no spare rolls, so had to go out and buy some. The biggest complaint though is being charged $420 for cleaning after receiving instructions to ensure that we do cleaning tasks including taking out the garbage.
nice apartment, well located and comfortable
