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...).

AustraliaThe staff were absolutely fantastic. We did not realise that we were being picked up the ferry terminal on HI, so that was a nice surprise. Our bags were taken to our bungalow and picked up for the bus drop off to the airport. Everyone was so friendly. The bungalows were adequate for our one night stay. There was some problem with ants getting into food, so we kept the bin outside on the verandah. The dinner at the hotel was very nice as well. Worth booking a buggy ahead before arriving on the island. The buggy pick up was close to the bungalows.

AustraliaFloors bit dusty and sandy in Bungalow. Hammock chains knotted, difficult to undo to use. State of Origin hype lacking, no signs, no activities, no wearing of colours. Difficulty getting in to preferred restaurant. Mantaray quality for price, poor.
Loved my stay! Location of my bungalow amidst the trees and close to resort centre. Free shuttle, helpful drivers. Sunset fun on One Tree Hill. Walking trails. Massage. Staff very friendly, happy, helpful. Footworks. Buggy.

ZimbabweA bit messy around the gardens with litter not picked up in the flower beds. Rooms could have had a sweep daily, not sure if this was our job or the room cleaners. Birds are a real pest.

United KingdomThere wasnt anything that we didn't like. All was great.
Fantastic stay on Hamilton island for 2 nights. As we were dropped off at our bungalows, there were wallabies foraging outside our bungalows. Loved the area around the marina, very casual and on the Saturday evening there was love music & lots of people were picnicking. Very relaxing and would definitely recommend. We booked a trip to Whitehaven, I can only describe as amazing

AustraliaWe found Hamilton tired and lacking this time, we’ve been going for 15 years but it’s gone down hill . Restaurants ether too full or closed . Sails was unkept and disappointing and closed at 5.30 with us trying to find somewhere to go ……It felt like the whole place was struggling.
Hamilton is and has been in the past our go to it’s a beautiful part of the world ….

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything with regard to the bungalow itself. We personally didn’t like the sails restaurant which we only tried for lunch, we felt the menu was poor, however that was our view and we may have just picked the wrong items, for example we chose the calamari and it was over cooked and tough. However that might just have been that it had been sitting a bit or just got overcooked by the chef.
Our bungalow was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. All very clean with good amenities which were replaced as we used them during our stay. We had daily towel changes and bed linen which is great in a hot climate. Good air conditioning plus a ceiling fan. Integral safe and plenty of storage including a clothes airer to dry wet towels, swimwear etc. overall excellent. The Reef Hotel restaurant which we used for breakfast was very good, lots of choice and food regularly replenished and fresh, great choice of fresh fruit, bakery and hot food items.
