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...).

New ZealandIt was a two-storied building with wooden floors.....the younger guests and children upstairs ran around on our ceiling very late and into the early morning...1am on one occasion. And they also used the pool and sat outside talking quite late. A curfew of 10pm, even 11pm, would be appreciated as a quiet time till at least 7am. Otherwise the building and floors were fine.
So close to the supermarkets. Not too long a walk to the ferry, even for seniors as it was all flat. Beautifully tree -lined streets. The host provided laundry liquid, which was appreciated. The location suited us as walkers to town very much, and the bus stop and train station is pretty much across the road.

AustraliaCleanliness was subpar, ceiling fans were all very dirty and the place was quite dusty. Had several run in with cockroaches. Noise insulation was pretty bad, we had backpackers partying at night that kept us up.
Nice 2 br apartment, relatively close to cairns centre, they were nice to store the suitcases for us on the day we were meant to leave.

AustraliaSome thing to hang the clothes, even some books on the door or wall.
The location is central to Cairns, Bus and Train 5min. away. The accommodation is a Queenslander, and not a motel, which I liked it, clean close to transport, I din't need to hire a car. Kitchen was good and the bathroom had a large shower.

AustraliaWe stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment and it could've done with some basics e.g. face washers, tissues, cooking oil, somewhere to hang wet clothing to dry, a second bath mat (we stayed for a week and had no opportunity to ask for more towels or toilet paper). Couldn't get the fridge to stop freezing stuff. No exhaust fan in the bathroom and couldn't open the window, combine that with high humidity and it's very hard to dry off. The luggage storage room was full of laundry that had to be moved out of the way to even get my suitcase in. Walls and ceilings were very thin (some people started playing loud music at 7am) but some of it could be drowned out by white noise from ceiling fans.
Beds were clean and comfortable. Couch was comfortable. Had a good number of ceiling fans and air conditioners. Convenient location. Bedrooms were a good size. Free on-street parking. Zero issues with the wifi. The place is basic and shows its age (bit rundown) but it was good as a base for our daily exploring. They also said they have solar panels which is good.

AustraliaIt was a really good place to stay. Nice and quiet place. Middle of the town and easy access to every need and even the tour offices are nearby means walking distance. A good and safe place to stay especially with kids.
Value for the money. Needs to supply some more cleaning equipment especially vacuum cleaner and bin liner and toilet paper which we had to buy. we had 2 apartments. One was really good , the other one the toilet and shower are not that welcoming. Cooking facilities were good but could do with a better cooking range as it takes too long to heat. The facility itself was really nice and quiet. had a good time together. One recommendation is when booked for big groups especially those who are travelling from a long distance if they are booked for more than 2 days please provide at least 2 sets of towels per person. We had to wash it and dry it every day to use.

AustraliaUnfortunately the caretakers weren’t particularly helpful when we locked ourselves out. We figured it out independently but there was no assistance available.
Great for big families (7 boys) as we could have adjoining apartments and the older kids had some space of their own. Perfect for our tribe.

United KingdomThere were no mugs or kettle. It was obviously being lived in as there were many items around. There were lots of termites in the kitchen and a large gap under the front door. The double bed in one room collapsed and had been held together with large screws.The bed could not be used and the person had to sleep on the sofa for 3 days.
The property was clean.It was spacious.
