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...).

AustraliaNot the property I was originally booked into. The heating was average at best. The Daikin split system badly needs attention.
The wifi was good. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were also good. The staff were excellent

AustraliaWe enjoyed every aspect of the apartment and its location.
The location is excellent. The apartment was centrally located in Cowes, and a short walk to shops, cafes, restaurants and the foreshore. The apartment itself was spacious and very clean and comfortable.

AustraliaAmenities is basic no toothbrush. No electric blanket on beds for cold nights. Toilet and bathroom in one room, not practical.
Location is great, but hard to find the entrance sign. It is clean, but blinds are a bit tired looking.

AustraliaThe constant loud noises coming from the apartments above - kids screaming, dogs barking and moving furniture till late hours of the night really dampened the experience.
The room was exceptionally clean - the facilities were new and the bed was really soft and comfy.

AustraliaDirections were incorrectly printed.even though highlighted by staff. Foreign staff difficult to understand on the phone, giving directions about after hours keys. Had to pick up and drop off keys, over a kilometre from units. $500 bond for 3 to 4 star rating. No lifts, so don't get 2nd storey units
Spacious. Good amenities. Undercover parking.

AustraliaSome windows are prevented from being closed entirely but they have fly screens and it’s dead quiet at night so it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t bother us.
Clean and spacious two bedroom apartment for my family of 3. Location is absolutely bang on, everything is in walking distance including the beach and you have your choice of supermarkets a 2 min walk down the road to stock up on supplies. Reception was super friendly and helpful, they reassured me there were a couple spare open parking spots on the property for our additional car despite only having the one allocated undercover spot, so we didn’t have to park it on the street each day.

AustraliaThe only thing was that the fridge door seal was a bit faulty at the top so it would always open on its own.
We stayed in the two bedroom apartment, everything was great, spacious, comfortable and it was a quiet area. Perfect place and location from all the shops, all within walking distance, and all the places we visited were only few minutes away! Would definitely be returning in the future :)

AustraliaThe cental location is great but means the view is of the local shops and car workshop. A bit noisy early one morning as large bins were emptied but otherwise quite peaceful.
Great location on the main street of Cowes but not noisy. The apartment is well set up and very comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a short stay.

AustraliaThe apartment requires some maintenance. The bathroom door did not close entirely shut and needed to be pushed closed. Also, would have loved to have seen a frying pan in the kitchen, as it made cooking breakfast in the morning a little challenging, but not impossible.
Location of this property was great. We thought that being in the front apartment and on the main road might present some noise issues, but this was definitely not the case. Located in the heart of Cowes, the apartment was a very comfortable walking distance to the beach, cafes and restaurants and supermarkets. A secured car park was a bonus. Our apartment could have easily accommodated for a family of four and therefore was very spacious and more than accomodating for 2 people.The apartment was well allocated. Picking up our keys from Phillip Island Apartments, as communicated to us before we arrived, was easy and not an issue at all. Reception staff was genuinely kind and helpful, and ensured we had all our queries answered before we got to the apartment.

AustraliaHad some trouble locating where to collect keys from. Had to drive to another location 5 mins away to pick up keys and had trouble locating the entrance of this property. No lifts and had to carry luggage all the way to the top floor Parking was troublesome as the slot given to me was wedged in between wall and a pillar
The apartment at Thompsons is situated at a great location . Coles,Woolworths etc are nearby and also in close proximity to Coves beach. The room was clean and tidy. Please note no lifts and will have to carry luggage through stairs.
