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...).

AustraliaCame back to the room after dinner to watch a movie, but there is no smart tv or Foxtel. You only have the option of watching normal TV channels. The apartment was so large that even though we left the heater on all night in the lounge room, the heat didn't reach the bedrooms so we were quite cold all night.
The 3 bedroom unit was huge and clean. The indoor pool was nice and warm in winter. The outdoor spa was very enjoyable. There is a good RSL just one minute walk.

AustraliaFirst up, as we couldn't find street parking I initially walked in and asked if we could drive into the parking area, and then come up and register. Even though I showed ID, in the booking name, the staff member on duty advised she couldn't allow that without seeing my husband in person, and his ID. He was still driving around the block. We had booked online over a early lunch in Coffs Harbour. She then served another young man (who mentioned he had just booked a room the hour prior online) she upgraded him from a second floor room to a room on the 6th floor, as she told him, "we are only sitting on 50% occupancy." Eventually when asked again she said she'd give us a temporary card to access the parking. After meeting my husband and parking we went to registration. She handed us our keys for a room overlooking the 'water' as booked. It was on level 2. When I asked if there might be a chance for a higher floor we were told no, as that was above the room tyoe we had ordered. She then sent us to the incorrect lift well. She did apologise and showed us to the correct lift bank. Secondly, the room smelt extremely musty, looked a lot older than pictures shown, and the balcony was filthy. We will NEVER stay at this property again.
The easy walk into town and it's restaurants. The hotel pool.

AustraliaThe refrigerator failed and was replaced. The shower rail fell off the wall and was repaired. The view whilst seating is obscured by the concrete wall below louvered windows so whilst seating all you saw was concrete. Room was very noisy from apartments above and next o our room. So much for non smoking accommodation people were smoking on their balconies and we had to leave our balcony and go inside shutting the door. The view seemed to be set up with after thought especially having a full wall cupboard marked private, a freestanding cupboard for cutlery,cups and glasses. Very disappointed with accommodation for the cost and will really review if I stay there again.
Location was good staff were pleasant

AustraliaThe king size bed my wife and I were expected to sleep on was without any doubt the worst bed I have ever slept on. We could actually feel the coil springs ‘digging’ into our back. The lack of basic utilities like, cutlery, crockery or a microwave oven was simply unacceptable for a room at $270 a night. On our trip from Brisbane to Sydney, we stayed at Park Drive Motel in Kempsey NSW. The facilities at this Motel were exceptional, with a very comfortable queen bed, 2 comfortable lounge chairs and a sofa, fridge, microwave oven, cutlery, crockery and many more extras for a measly $134 per night. Mantra The Observatory didn’t even offer two lounge chairs, or a sofa to sit on. This establishment relies heavily on the Mantra brand without offering very much at all.
Our room was very clean with beautiful views of the Town Beach.
