Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaLoved everything about this hotel. Nothing to complain about.
Loved everything about this hotel! The staff are incredible. They are so friendly and make you feel at home. The pool is fantastic and could always get a lounge chair to lie on at any time of day. The breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast I've ever had and the lunch and dinner is also the best in Palm Cove. The signature inclusions were also a fantastic touch including the sunrise yoga (which is between the palms!), the sorbet by the pool and the canapes and punch at 5pm. They think of everything!!

United KingdomThe food was average and in some cases poor, it was over priced for what it was. It was also a bit scruffy, claims to be the second best luxury hotel in Australia but large stains on the carpet when you go in doesn't set a great first impression, also the bedroom didn't feel particulary clean.
Great added extras, e.g. cocktail making, wine tasting and wonderful staff who genuinely wanted you to get the best from your stay. Lovely view from the beach facing room.

AustraliaI was quite disappointed to arrive and not have our bags taken to the room. In fact, staff watched my partner make three trips without an offer of a porter. I understand this to be very unusual and all across the week, this small thing was more than rectified.
I loved Cedric and Michelle, no request was too much and all requests were met with a genuine desire to create a perfect experience. I loved that the wait staff were willing to learn how to make my daughters coffee, despite it being a little obscure. I also really enjoyed that The Reef House is adults only, the location is perfect.

United StatesAt least one other meal to be included for what the cost of the stay was. My shower stall door was a bit outdated, but I'm really reaching to think of something I didn't like, as this stay was great.
the breakfast was delicious, I enjoyed the granola bowl every morning. The location was great, across from the ocean and the sunday market was a bonus. The pools were beautiful and never over crowded. The laundry room was easy to use and the staff were extremely helpful, polite, and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable.

The staff were approachable, helpful and friendly. Complimentary sorbet around the pool , punch and canopies in the bar daily were such an unexpected surprise as were the chocolates and bubbles on arrival. Our holiday was the highlight of the last couple of years. We escaped unseasonal cold, rainy Sydney for 33 degree days and sunshine. We are definitely rebooking !
