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...).

United KingdomNothing to report that was negative about this property.
Great location directly across road from the beach. Large apartment with well-equipped kitchen for self-catering with Big Coles supermarket nearby for provisions. Comfy bed, hot shower, bid lounge/dining area and nice balcony space for eating outside. Washing machine & dryer also in the apartment which was useful for long stay travellers and washing powder provided. Variety of Restaurants and bars nearby in same road so easy walking distance, off-street parking on site and lift for accessing higher floors. Communal bbq available on grass across from property. We really enjoyed our stay in the Marlin Waters Beachfront property and don’t hesitate to recommend it highly.

AustraliaA well equipped, one bedroom, apartment with a stunning view over the Coral Sea. Cross the road and you are at the stinger nets if you would rather swim in the sea rather than the facility pool. A very relaxing weekend.,

United States of AmericaThey could have informed me earlier about the room key being in the lockbox and what the lockbox code was. When I arrived the office had just closed. Fortunately I was able to find the owner.
This is a perfect location at Palm Cove directly in front of the only beach that has the netted area to keep the jellies out. Also has restaurants nearby.

AustraliaFantastic location right across from a patrolled beach and next to the Surf Club. The apartment was well appointed and very comfortable. All my needs were met. Covered parking. Private pool and so close to cafes and restaurants. Lovely to stroll along the water front or sit and relax on the generous balcony.

United States of AmericaLiterally right across the street from the beach swimming enclosure and also great restaurants are just a minute walk away! There are also shops, massage places, etc. and the bus stop to Cairns is also just a minute walk away. The apartment is very spacious, large kitchen, washing machine and drier, etc. Rhonda from reception was very helpful in booking tours. All in all, just an excellent base for exploring the region and combining beach relaxation with excursions.
