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.).

AustraliaCan't answer as was not there much due to moving house. Kids enjoyed the accommodation and wanted to use facilities but were to busy. Will be back to check it out fully.
It was easy to book, easy to access and easy for my kids.

AustraliaOnly a few minor things like door handles didn’t turn or lock sometimes or they were loose. Beds were a tad hard but nothing worth turning off the stay. We will be back next year for sure.
The location is fantastic. The villas are perfect. We had a group of family so 2 villas and it was great. The place is stunning and the facilities may need a little tlc but still all working. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain so didn’t get to make use of the lagoon.

AustraliaThe passive aggressive signs around the bungalow, not enough toilet paper provided or extra blankets. The shower leaked badly, soaking the floor each time.
Beds were fairly comfy, clean and plenty of space. Washing powder, dishwasher sachets available. Some auger and coffee available.

AustraliaIt wasn’t as close to the beach as I would have liked (I really like to see the water ha) but a quick walk to the Hastings river for my morning walk! Driving to the beach (town beach) was about 10mins but easy to park etc.
Bungalow was perfect size for our family of 5! Great facilities in the accom. The grounds were lovely. Likes the pool was indoors (it was a bit cooler and it rained a bit) but had lovely skylights so well out. The spa was great as was the sauna. The lagoon is huge and great for water activities. The staff were great with communication and check in was a breeze

AustraliaIt rained but that wasn’t the resorts fault!!😀
The resort was beautiful, felt like we were in a tropical oasis! I wish we had more time to enjoy it! We were there to support our son at the Ironman so we didn’t get to do mini golf, kayaking etc. Our boys enjoyed the table tennis and poolroom, and I enjoyed the heated pool and spa.

AustraliaSmall thing...Don't walk barefoot to/from the pool. Pavers are hard under foot
We had 2 bungalows next to each other and that worked out really well for our large family. Facilities within the bungalows are exactly what you'd expect at home. If you didn't want to go anywhere then there are heaps of things you can do there... Pool, spa, sauna, gym, canoes, pool table, table tennis, tennis and even putt putt golf.

AustraliaDirty linen and nappy left in upstairs closet room adjacent to upstairs bedroom. Floors in upstairs bedroom appear not to have been vacuumed. Told staff who advised they would send employees to remove but this didn’t happen over our three-day stay. Young housekeeping employees not friendly or professional.
Great size with lots of beds, good ish amenities, easy going receptionist/front of house staff. Coffee available I think. My kids (and husband) loved the Santa visits with lollies - thank you!

AustraliaUnfortunately it is apparent money needs to be spent here. The Bar was not serviced in 5 days we had there and the spa was out-of-order. Equipment in the gym was out-of-order.. Gardens need a good weeding. The island in the centre of the lagoon is rotting and closed. Such a pity as it is a great place for families .
Location was a little far out of Port Macquarie but a great deal of time was spent in the huge lagoon. The Hydro Golf nearby was a great bonus. Tennis courts were great and putt putt was available but not used. The bungalows were roomy and provided plenty of beds for our large group.
