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...).

AustraliaI feel it had gone down hill a bit. Equipment was run down. Plovers were attacking viciously while we played mini putt putt. Volleyball was all muddy and unusable. Toilets near water park were boggy and disgustingly dirty.
I like all the activities available on site as well as the proximity to shops, restaurants and the beach.

AustraliaThe resort is generally a little dated. Bedroom/ aircon smelt stale and was quite dusty. Appreciate it was peak period, however was not value for money. Although good quality, the food/ beverage is quite expensive.
Staff were friendly and helpful, on-site restaurant/ bar was convenient and good quality food/drink. Great amenities for the kids. Parking was convenient.

AustraliaThe pricing generally; not only for what you get in a room but for those staying at the resort it would be great to see discounted prices on walk-up food/drinks, instead of paying hotel lobby bar type prices for things whether you’ve paid to stay there or just walked in off the street for a drink or meal, it’s the same for all. Wi-fi didn’t really work but that wasn’t a massive issue.
Good proximity to things locally and just a 20 min drive to attractions on SC. Staff friendly and helpful. Despite a small room, bathroom was spacious. Good buffet breakfast spread. Good amount of on-site parking. Clean. Great system of signing in/out various activity equipment and pool towels!

AustraliaThe air conditioning emits a faint unpleasant odor, likely indicating it's due for servicing. The vents appear to require a thorough cleaning, potentially harboring mold? The mini fridge is ineffective, takes hours to chill beverages. The absence of a kitchen sink complicates tasks like filling the kettle from the bathroom tap. Lack of insect screens on windows prevents enjoying fresh breezes without the intrusion of insects, forcing reliance on the air conditioning and enduring the musty smell throughout the night.
Location, suitable for kids, security access, free parking on site, close to woolworth

AustraliaThe whole resort is very rundown. Around the restaurant and water park the flooring was rotten and disintegrating. The bottom of the pool was old and very slippery in areas. Mini golf area is very worse for wear. The couch in our room was uncomfortable with one old flat cushion and was quite dirty, as was the carpet. The walls in our room and the restaurant were all scuffed up and some of the furniture in our room was broken. Definitely in need of some TLC.
Great stay if you have kids. Little one loved the water park, pool and jumping pillow. Easy parking and great location. Staff were all lovely. Bedding was comfortable. Breakfast was fine.

AustraliaIt was a shame the rooms in 'hotel' style area didn't have a balcony of some sort. The rooms were comfortable but without this small outside you wouldn't want to stay too long.
It was a great resort for children and families. Lots to do and close to beach. The rooms were really clean and comfortable. Fantastic shower!! We really enjoyed our stay for what we paid.

AustraliaThere was a fire alarm and our building was evacuated at 10.30pm on Monday 1st April. It was a false alarm, but no one from the resort acknowledged the inconvenience or explained why it had happened. Hotel occupancy was over 90% families with young children that had to be settled back to sleep again at 11pm. Some children, including mine, were quite distressed to be woken from their sleep in the middle of the night and taken down several flights of stairs into the carpark.. Given that there were 100-150 people standing outside for 30 minutes in the middle of the night, it was poor form on behalf of the management that this was not acknowledged in any way. Lots of families were talking about this around the pool the next day. Apart from the bedrooms and waterpark, the facilities in general are in need of a facelift or at least a deep clean and some fresh paint. With some investment to upgrade the facilities, it has the potential to be an excellent destination. For example, the windows and window frames in the Oak and Vine are really dirty and have cobwebs. The walls and ceilings in the hallways of the Boomerang wing are dated with water/leak marks.
Pool, water park, mini golf, all great for our young family. It is easy to get towels for the pool. Bar/Restaurant easily accessible from the pool/water park.. A nice range of additional kids activities provided for Easter break. The breakfast buffet was good (apart from rock hard waffles). We had dinner in the Oak and Vine on our last night and were surprised at the good quality. We were sorry we hadn't eaten there sooner.
