Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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...).

AustraliaEverything was to our liking.
We loved our stay here. The hosts Stuart and Tony were very hospitable, nothing was too much trouble for them. We were in apartment 2, which was newly and beautifully decorated. And spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, right across from the ocean, and not too far from the restaurants at Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. It was an easy drive from the Cairns airport and to Port Douglas.

AustraliaThere was nothing which could spoil our stay.
The apartment was large, airy, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It is not new, but has been tastefully redecorated. There were two large lounges and a large HD TV. Well equipped kitchen, (huge fridge) a nice carpeted bedroom with excellent bed and linen, a nice rear balcony with chairs, and a lovely view to the tall palm forest behind. There were frequent visits to the lawns at the back by the agile wallabies and bush stone curlews. The air con units in both the lounge and bedroom were quite new and very efficient. There was lots of bench space and the dining setting was large and comfortable too. The bathroom was quite pleasant with good bench area, and a good shower. We appreciated the extra separate toilet. The most impressive feature was the long wide balcony with lovely views of the beach and foreshore. Four sliding doors can be used to access the balcony. There were a table and six mesh chairs, two other mesh chairs with a coffee table, and two comfortable mesh lounges. The area is quiet and not far from a Coles store, and other shops, restaurants and takeaways. The property has a nice pool and spa and we enjoyed a swim there. We both enjoyed walking along the shaded path along the waterfront across the road. All perfect for a pleasant, relaxed stay. Stuart was very courteous and helpful.

AustraliaThe unit was very spacious with amazing views right across from the beach. Sun rises were amazing from the 2nd floor unit and had most of our meals out on the balcony. Huge TV with netflix access for the kids. The beds were very comfortable with air conditioning in all the rooms. Two very comfortable leather lounges. The beach swimming enclosure was a 200 mtr walk away otherwise we were in the pool most days which had recliners and a huge BBQ. Kitchen was large and well equipped with items we didn't expect. Palm Cove was a 30 min relaxing walk along the beach or trail path to the north and there were busses very regularly to Palm Cove or back to Cairns with the bus stop just 100 mtr away. Comparatively it was very good value for money.

AustraliaCar parking a bit hard to navigate but we were in apartment at clifton gardens which is another apartment near argosy on the beach. Bed in this apartment was very hard. Unfortunately next to this apartment is a high rise building in construction phase so bit noisy but when that is complete will be lovely and quiet. The apartments in argosy on the beach would be nice and quiet.
Great location but we were staying at clifton gardens apartment. Very secure parking. Amazing location. Certainly would recommend the location
