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...).

AustraliaHeavy glass door but being fixed and not a deal braker!
Very comfortable studio unit. Very safe and approx. 900m walk from Nelly Bay wharf - bus stop out the front. Good pool and food restaurant based in Amaroo Resort. Nice touches in studio. Heavy glass door that needs some maintenance but host notified and all good. Would definitely stay there again. Instructions from Lynda were excellent.

AustraliaA fair distance from facilities. The motel itself was very run down with shortened restaurant & reception hours. The gym had a broken door & equipment. There was no actual person present to meet and greet etc.

AustraliaMay be a queen size bed would have been a big more comfortable. Air conditioning a bit noisy.
A lovely little unit. Had some modern modifications on an older building I think. Was just what I was looking for for a few days. Extra touches like wine and chocolate on arrival. Plenty of information about the local area. Very centrally spot to all the different villages on the island. Bus service outside resorts. Pool area great.

GermanyAmazing stay. The accommodation style was nothing fancy, which I expected given the budget allocated, but it was so nicely arranged that it felt very homey. Everything in the room (deco, utilities) was thought through to improve the experience and it was the best equipped room I have ever been in. They even provided women's hygienic items! Nothing was missing. The overall resort was beautiful, with plants all around and even occasional wildlife. The pool felt like it was in the middle of the jungle. It looked a bit worn out and in need of care but the surroundings made it special. The restaurant was alright for dinner, with a really friendly hostess. Aside from the restaurant hostess, we only interacted with one other staff member, Lynda, via messaging. She was awesome. She gave us the heads up that the pool would be closed for half our stay. I expressed my disappointment and Lynda went the extra mile to improve our stay. Thank you Lynda!

IndiaThe dated design and layout and upkeep of the pool. A tad overpriced.
The location was fantastic. The room very well appointed and bathroom pristine. The bed was comfortable as well. Also access to the walking trails were situated close by. Very quiet with only the sounds of birds singing. Overall a solid 9/10.
