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...).

AustraliaMy shower was very hot/cold. Couldn’t get a “normal” setting. A day spa option would be lovely to have.
The pool was lovely - more pods would be helpful. Shoutout to Danny who was amazing and the cocktails were superb. Food was delicious.

South AfricaWe were a bit disappointed with the beach. Not much made of it but maybe just too hot there to spend hours on the beach. We did have a swim in the sea. Lovely and wsrm
Loved this resort hotel. Staff and food absolutely wonderful. Great position on the beach and easy to get into town using hotel bus

United KingdomThe resort is on a lovely beach opposite the marina. However it is necessary to drive into Exmouth itself and then a further drive if one wants to visit the Ningaloo Reef which is on the other side of the peninsula. Well worth it but not something we appreciated when booking.
We were upgraded from a one to a two bedroom ocean view apartment on check in. It was a beautiful apartment on the first floor with a large balcony overlooking the long white sandy beach. Well equipped to self cater which we did with seafood from the Fish Shack in Exmouth which is a short drive away.

NetherlandsThe prices for the rooms are somewhat too high A few other minor things: - If you ask such a high price for rooms, then provide guests with good quality toilet paper, shower gel and shampoo and not a quality you would only expect in a one star hotel. Elsewhere in Australia this was perfect and luxurious, so why not in the most expensive of all hotels booked? - There was a very strange, old audio system in the room. It looked as if it was from the nineties - the temperature regulation of the shower is difficult These things are all relatively minor things and easy to solve, especially the provision of higher quality shower gel, shampoo and toilet paper.
Great place! Gives you a nice holiday feeling! The staff of the restaurant is extremely nice.

Wow what a place to stay. Easily the best we have stayed in Australia. The receptionist Steff could not do more to help us and gave us advice on what to do. The rooms were gorgeous and provided everything you could need.

United Kingdom- food was lovely but portion sizes were so big, for us it would be better to have smaller portions for lower price
+ comfortable beds + great AC + gym and pool facilities were very good + staff were phenomenal + shuttle bus was super handy (though recommend hiring a car, we had to do this last minute as we realised flexibility was limited for dinner options as bus stops at 3.30. We also wanted to explore beaches - which is a MUST in this area) Other recommendations for February trip: * see baby turtles hatching, park at Five Mile Beach Access. Enter beach from 5.30pm, walk to the right and wait patiently for the magic to happen! Keep an eye out for seagulls swooping. * snorkel hire from the hire shop next to bamboo - $15 for 24hr hire * hit up oyster stacks and osprey bay (turtles) for snorkelling, and turquoise bay for gorgeous beach views.

AustraliaThe only criticism is the cost of the food in the restaurant, particularly for the breakfast menu. I can imagine how expensive it is to get so many of the required ingredients to what is quite a remote location, and everything we did eat was lovely, but the prices were very high for portions that were not particularly generous.
Mantarays is a beautiful resort in a stunning little town. The room was gorgeous, the pool was gorgeous, the restaurant lovely, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was always so nice coming back to such a pretty place at the end of a long day hiking and swimming, and the facilities were all excellent. We were also pleasantly surprised with how nice and clean the communal laundry was!
