Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaIt was hard to find out how to get to the building with our room. It would be ideal if they put some signage up for the whitsunday block before you get to it as it did take us a while to figure out how to get to it.
Comfortable, clean, pools.

United KingdomUnfortunately there is a connecting door to the next apartment which meant noise was a problem. My wife and I could hear the occupants quite clearly.
Beautiful view from the apartment and very comfortable bed

AustraliaI was unaware that there was no 'beach' there, that it was just rocks, and therefore I drove to the next beach along to go for a walk.... not a huge issue, but a slight disappointment upon arrival.
It was a charming place to stay, beautifully appointed and quiet, secure, scenic. Everything I needed was provided.

AustraliaMajor problem was running out of toilet paper the first night - only a little on roll, and no spare roll in sight. Fortunately we had some in the car or it could have been messy! We should have been warned if expected to supply it. The bathroom light switch was faulty.
Pool, on-site restaurant (loved the steak night special, very reasonably priced), comfortable bed, pleasant views, friendly staff.

AustraliaThe shower and spa taps were dripping constantly. But nothing that new washers wouldn't fix. The bed was ok. But it is starting to get a bit saggy. Due for an upgrade soon. The steps going up to the room were a bit slippery in the wet.
The view was great, looking out over the water. The room was clean and comfortable for our weeks stay. The restaurant had great food and reasonably priced. The staff were lovely. The location was quiet. The pool looked great, but we didn't use it. The grounds are clean and maintained. Would happily stay again.

AustraliaFaulty doors. Woken at 7am by painters and scaffolding blocking front door and beach view blocked by painters using our patio. Very upset but new room was completely a positive improvement. Management could not have been more helpful.
Staff had to move us when the room was very substandard. No maintenance had been done. Staff were incredibly supportive.
