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...).

AustraliaMcAlpine house is a bed and breakfast and doesn't have dinner options in the evening - which meant that we had to go out. Just a few more plates and utensils in the rooms would be great as there is a really nice area to sit outside at night and have snacks, but we just needed the plates and utensils. This is a small 'could improve more' in the context of an excellent venue.
Each morning freshly made breakfast for all guests was served around a bit table where we got to know our fellow guests, compared travel plans and got the inside information, aided by the team from McAlpine House, on the best things to do.

AustraliaThis place was perfect!
This boutique hotel features traditional Broome style buildings centred around a beautiful pool and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The rooms are very well appointed with their own private outdoor areas with garden views. The Management (Owner Marilynne & Manager Renaldo) were so welcoming, informative and hospitable.

AustraliaThis is not a glitzy modern resort. In fact, everything has been maintained to reflect the lifestyle of earlier days. Yet the air conditioning worked well, the pool was great and breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended.

AustraliaSun rises very early in Broome, so maybe a blind over the back windows could help with a light room early in the morning
A light breakfast each day was on offer, as welll as a set cooked breakfast by Rinaldo.. I did miss a cold juice. Quiet, private rooms in a garden setting. There are only 8 suites at this site & child free. There was a very friendly Welsh corgi who also enjoyed the beautiful surrounds

AustraliaBreakfast was excellent and varied from day to day. The owners are amazing. They brief guests really well - not only on the property but the attractions and restaurants in Broome...... they go the extra mile with their hospitality. Bed linen, tea and coffee in room and bathroom products were of excellent quality.

AustraliaDining room for breakfast overlooking nice pool area. Great coffee and homemade bread with breakfast. Ideal location just a short walk from Matsos, which is a must. Comfortable 20-minute walk into town with only 1 small hill, so very easy. Bus stop nearby with regular services into town, Cable Beach other areas with cheap fares - make sure you have the correct change! Approx 10-minute easy walk to the museum and town beach, both of which are worth a look.
