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 heavy doors separating studio from motel room. Difficult to move bags in and out. Would have liked one room service and maybe a toaster with cutlery and plate.
Great location on main Street opposite beach access and walk to restaurants and shops.

AustraliaThe apartment we had seemed to have a timer on the hot water for showers. Every 5 minutes the shower would go cold so we had to turn it off, then back on again. The balcony was tiny & the windows in the living room were mostly frosted. I understand this was for privacy but it didn’t feel nice. There was no shelving/drawers to unpack clothes in either bedroom, despite both having a wardrobe.
The location of the property was fantastic. We could walk everywhere from the apartment block - beach, park, shops, restaurants & even to the marina if we felt like a longer walk. The apartment was clean & met basic needs for sleeping. The bathrooms were a good size & modern.

New ZealandReception is only manned for 2 hours so we never saw any staff. A bit more dishwasher detergent would have been great, but there were no staff to ask for more.
Spacious, clean, comfortable, well appointed room. It had everything we needed. Location was great and we were very comfortable. Air conditioning was great on hot days as well.

AustraliaNeeded a fly screen so we could open the doors and let in the fresh sea air. We needed to keep the bugs out and so we couldn’t open the magnificent glass sliding doors and windows. There was great air conditioning and everything was clean bright and we could feel the clean.
Great location, very friendly helpful staff and magnificently appointed rooms. Very comfortable, bright without being intense and very hen we needed privacy from the world we had that too. Quiet, even though it was on the main road across from a magnificent beach. Thank you so much for looking after us so well. We will be back.
