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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing!! Couldn’t fault it at all.
Everything!! Extremely clean, beds were very comfortable, perfect location for the kids with access to the pool straight from our back door (with some grassed space in between for them to play), playground with food across the road and a short walk into Terrigal. Staff were wonderful and the pool was heated, more than usual. Had us swimming right up until 5pm in the last week of April!

Sadly, where our apartment was you could hear a lot of traffic noise from the main road so was difficult to get to sleep. If I were to stay there again I would ask for an apartment at the back. The outside lights are also quite bright and as the curtains don’t quite meet, again my suggestion would be to have the outside lights dimmer at a certain time, say 8pm The only other thing I would note is again, the apartment we were in was close to the bar-b-q area and you are allowed to use that area until 9pm which again, if you have small children is a nightmare trying to get them to sleep when other guests are having late barbys. The soundproofing isn’t the best. My suggestion to the owners would be to close that area at the same time as the pool - 8pm.
The apartment was very spacious and had everything one would need. The pool was really lovely and thankfully heated so we could actually use it Location was right opposite a park which was great for littlies and great coffee in the little cafe there. Ray on reception was fantastic, her customer service is brilliant. The owner is also very nice and courteous. Approx 15 minute walk into town where there are heaps of restaurants. You can also drive but 2 hour limit in car park so walk if you can.

The room was well equipped and even had a small stovetop.Bed was very comfortable and the balcony overlooking the excellent pool was great for a pre dinner drink.Apart from the bathroom which was slightly older in style the room has been refurbished and looked and felt clean and modern. About a 10 minute walk to the main shop and restaurant area and a handy cafe directly across the road .Would definitely stay here again on future trips.
