Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

SpainThey could be a bit cleaner e.g. under the beds and in the corners and crevices of the living room and kitchen. I would like the reception to be open to set hours so we could access the tennis equipment when we wanted it.
The location was great. Beautiful sunset views The pool and tennis courts were great to have available. The rooms were spacious.

AustraliaThe apartment could have done with a little bit of a makeover. The undercover car park was too small for larger cars. Had to park in visitors space, which was fine as it was still on the property of the apartment. The ensuite was a bit of a squeeze, but overall you weren't sleeping in there.
Perfect location, close to everything. The apartment was a good size with a beautiful sea breeze blowing in. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you could think of.

AustraliaApartment needs a re-vamp. Linen not in the best condition. Kitchen is outdated and lacking. It would be must better if it was stocked with more plates, glasses, cutlery etc so that you didn't have to constantly do dishes. Things like table runner and cushion covers were stained and need washing or replacement. These trivial things would really lift the apartment.
Perfect location on the ground floor overlooking the tennis court and beyond that, the ocean. Close to the ferry for Magnetic Island and close to lots of restaurants, The Strand etc. We enjoyed using the tennis court and pool. Lovely sunsets over the ocean and the sunrise over Castle Hill. Beds were comfortable and good showers. Laundry was easy to use.

BrazilInternet Speed: While Wi-Fi is available, the connection speed was below expectations. Useless for streaming or video conferences. This was the main reason we could not give the accommodation a maximum rating. Improving the internet would significantly enhance the overall guest experience, particularly for those who need reliable access for work, streaming, weather updates, maps, communications, or even just planning the next day’s activities. The Wi-Fi was by far one of the worst we've experienced during our on going 60-day trip through Australia. While the kitchen is well equipped, a proper coffee machine was missing – something we would expect at this level of accommodation.
Breathtaking Sea View: The view over the Coral Sea and The Strand is truly stunning – one of the most memorable of our entire trip. Whether from the balcony or the grounds, the scenery is picture-perfect. Excellent Location: Right on The Strand, close to cafés, restaurants, and the Magnetic Island ferry terminal – perfect for exploring Townsville on foot. Spacious, Well-Equipped Apartment: Large 2 bedroom unit with full kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry facilities, and balconies – ideal for longer stays. Resort-Style Facilities: Saltwater pool, tennis court, spa, barbecue area, and beautifully maintained gardens add great value to the stay. Free Secure Undercover Parking with an elevator to the floor we stayed.

AustraliaWe stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed. Very spacious with a beautiful view of the Strand. Tennis court was a lot of fun. Pool looked good but a bit cold to go in . We are looking forward to coming back in the warmer months to make use of it. Reception was fabulous...very friendly and accommodating. Location is fantastic. Can't wait to head back to Townsville in the future and staying here again. Thank you for making it a great weekend
