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...).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing to comment on.
Astounding property, the owners of the apartment (310) are to be complimented on their high standard of facilities and furnishings. It was a luxurious comfortable home from home. The sea view from the balcony was superb. We would highly recommend staying here, great value for money too. The pools were amazing, the hot pool was so relaxing. We were even able to borrow body boards for the beach.

New ZealandThe beds were very soft, and living room furniture needs to be updated. Great potential, and still a great choice, but old decor and furniture. Also - no aircon in the bedrooms, nor fans - it did get very hot.
Great location and views!

New ZealandThe lounge furniture is starting to show its age and there was a bit of a musty odour in the en-suite bathroom. None of this spoiled the stay - just thought it might be something to keep an eye on.
The apartment was particularly good for me and my two adult sons (who don't like sharing a bedroom).

New ZealandNo complaint intended, but one couple had single beds in their room. We would have preferred a double arrangement.
The reception was very warm and helpful, the parking was convenient and secure, and it was a very easy walk in and walk out experience. The pools hot and cool were very welcome.

New ZealandEverything is always immaculate, and the property and pool area so lovely. Our room was feeling a little dated, as I don’t think much has changed with the decor in the past decade, but every room is slightly different, so it may have just been that unit. But units are very well set out with a lot of space to holiday and relax.
We have been staying at the Reef each year for the past 17 years. It’s wonderful location close to a beach surf break is the added drawcard, but it is a lovely situation just our from the busy central area of the mount. Always love our stays.
