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...).

AustraliaEven though it was a studio apartment, the only seating was either outside on a slightly scary balcony or on high bar stools so not a great option for short folks or those who are a little older. The bedroom was very cramped with nowhere for suitcases. There were things we didn't expect such as an ironing board and iron but no hairdryer and curiously no teaspoons although there was tea and coffee available. There were no bedside lamps and the only light was connected to the fan. Because of the main road outside we had to close the door but this meant we needed the air conditioning on all night. The outside just looks run down. There is only an external staircase up to our room - the railings had paint peeling off and the metal looked rusty, some steps felt a little wobbly. The exterior could really do with some paint and maintenance. In comparison our daughter stayed in another part of Ballina for about the same price but a much nicer room with more space and a sofa.
The location was across the road from a pub which can be noisy (we know from previous stays in the area) but it was quiet during our stay. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was a reasonable size. The room was obviously clean as were the linens.

AustraliaThe pin code provided to the key box was incorrect. Owner did not reply to my call or texts. I was not told which apartment was mine. Very poor service.
Good location, very nice views, very reasonable price. The property is a bit tired, but for a low-key stay in the Byron area it was good.

AustraliaOur preferred booked Penthouse apartment was swapped for a smaller two bedroom one due to issues in the one originally booked. No onsite management and reception not manned. Some issues (including minor cleaning) we had were satisfied after a chat with Kate via 'phone. No airconditioning in two bedrooms.
Beachy older style apartments in a quiet location (Shaws Bay) with views of the river (from back & front). Four unsecured undercover carparks and others shared on common land with neighbours. A short drive from the Ballina main shops. Convenient pub across the road. Apartment kitchen had full oven, microwave and fridge with freezer. Small balcony at back (facing west) and backyard had other facilities. Apartment has one airconditioner in sitting area plus ceiling fans in the two bedrooms.

AustraliaArrived after many hours of travel at 4.30. Reception closed. Mobile number to call. Rang the number 3 times. No one answered. Luckily a man in another apartment opened a security box and found 2 keys. Had to guess which key was ours. 30 mins later got a text from someone to apologise, she had sent our arrival details to the wrong mobile number. So lucky the man helped us. I presume the man who helped us contacted lady. Room was very small. Only the bed to sit on, uncomfortable stools. Noises next door from other room. Wouldn’t stay there again.
Good view. Big bathroom.

AustraliaBalcony is not private so if next apartment is using theirs you can't avoid each other. Other than large modern fridge, kitchen equipment was very basic and minimal quantity of plates, cups etc. Iron needs replacing, kept leaking water. A new drying rack with more pegs would be welcome.
Lovely view from balcony. Enjoyed eating breakfast there and watching sunset end of day. Spacious, clean apartment with comfortable beds, nice linen, big TV and air con worked well. Water pressure was ok and as expected in an older apartment block. Plenty of cupboard space and wardrobes. Provision of teabags, coffee, sugar etc was nice. Coin laundry facility available which is a consideration if you're a family staying for a week.

AustraliaIt did get a little stuffy in the bedrooms. Though the ac was a huge plus. We simply slept with all the bedroom doors open.
Great location, close to eateries, parks and swimming spots. It is also a quick journey north to Lennox and a short drive back into down town Ballina. The apartment itself is vintage in its era. Sweet space, perfect for a small family or two couples.

Australiawe got no toilet paper, no coffee, tea . the wifi wasn’t working at all. it was a bit grubby. the hair from the people before was still in the corner of the toilet and bathroom. the flyscreens at the entry doors were filthy and so were many things we had to touch. it is very dated. I can handle old places, but I can’t handle dirty places. also the kitchen cupboards smelled very mouldy.
it is situated in a beautiful area and elevated to see the water from both sides of the property. the bed was comfortable, there was clean linen and towels. the place was freshly painted
