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...).

No lift but staff were helpful moving luggage Address on Palmer street is in name only, rooms are on busy Mcilwraith Street

AustraliaMy studio room and bathroom was a bit small (ok for short stay). Only ceiling white lighting (no bedside lamp). No hook in bathroom to hang towels or wet clothing. The after-hours checkin system failed (had hard time to open lock box). First floor via stairs (I think there was no elevators).
Very modern minimalist deco, clean, well equipped unit (microwave, stove, fridge). Comfy bed, great shower. Nice swimming pool with view. Very nice and helpful staff. Close to bars and restaurants.

AustraliaThe only think I STRONGLY didn’t like was that we couldn’t get a park due to the ravces. Parking should be for guests only Undercover was full and patrons parks infront of the hotel so we drove around for AGES trying to find somewhere. Luckily we were only there for 1 night and didn’t have bags…. If you were a traveling couple with bags, having to find a park and then cart your belongings would be very annoying. But I gather that when there is no events on parking would be fine
Breakfast was nice. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable

AustraliaOur room was on the 3rd floor, no lifts so we had to haul our luggage up a lot of stairs. they took a $100 security deposit that is still pending in my account, other hotels just put a hold on your card, not a pending charge and cancellation that takes a month to get back!
Nice room, great gym, cafe out the front.

AustraliaNo elevator so going up and down the stairs all the time is difficult for anyone who is not young and fit, it is also very difficult to get luggage to and from your room. Shower is very small....like really small.
Room was nice and modern. Bed was very comfortable. Pool area was 5 star.

AustraliaThe receptionist would not let me use the toilet when we left our bag for the day. There were no twin beds so my son and I had to sleep in the same bed. The receptionist was kind enough to upgrade us to a suite with a bigger bed. The bathroom is really small as is the shower cubicle. There is no lift.
The location was excellent. The suites were tastefully decorated.

AustraliaAs we were on the second floor, a lift would have been appreciated to move suitcases up and down. It would not have been suitable for guests with mobility issues. While there was some secure parking, it was not always available - first in secured a spot. We would have been happy to pay a small fee to secure a spot for the duration of our stay rather than sometimes having to park out on the street. It was however, a pleasant change not to have additional costs.
The location was perfect for our travel requirements as we were visiting family in South Townsville. While we did have access to a vehicle it was within walking distance. It is located at the quiet end of Palmer Street - away from the noise and business of this popular night time dining area but was only a short walk to dine at any number of restaurants. Breakfast and dinner options were available if required. The guest laundry, located on each floor was very clean with modern equipment. It was a very pleasant surprise not to have to load the machines with coins! Pool and gym areas were also clean and well equipped for a holiday stay.

United KingdomIt was very nosy at night. People dragging suitcases up and down the stairs at 6am due to there being no lift. Also we were backing onto the carpark and that added to the noise levels. As a result I did not get a comfortable nights sleep
Very clean - had all of the necessary facilities that meant we could self cater an evening meal which was nice when we had been on the road travelling all day.
