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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaThe bed was a little uncomfortable.
The unit was quite large and open with a nicely designed interior, which was nice and clean. Very close to the beach, park area, local pub and a lovely little Italian restaurant, all just a stones throw away. Would definitely recommend this property.

AustraliaThe private villa feel was 😊 nice
I liked the property as it was not in the Main Street felt secluded even though it wasn’t the only thing I would have done was make the plunge pool about two degrees warmer ! It backed onto a beach park with gate access and was opposite the Reef Tavern which was under renovation so wasn’t serving food but was still open for drinks!

AustraliaWe found the heated plunge pool a little cold for our liking - but I’m sure there would be plenty of people who would love the cooler temperature in the hot climate.
It was private and due to the solid concrete construction it was cool. Big thank you to Graham for all his help with making sure we were well taken care of.

AustraliaA door on the toilet would be good as sound travels, the lounge only has one comfortable spot to sit, the bbq seems dangerous and probably needs replacing . The kitchen should be better stocked, a sharp knife, champagne glasses, more than three plates and replace the four aged cups. Also a hair dryer would be appreciated. The pipe on the outside of the bedroom wall needs to be blocked in as it’s incredibly noisy when upstairs shower, it was loud enough to wake us at 12.30am and we thought a water pipe burst somewhere.
I like the layout of the unit and the location.

AustraliaThe lock on the door wasn’t working properly, we eventually fixed it and we’re able to leave, but until it was fixed, we weren’t comfortable leaving the room unlocked with our belongings in it. The laundry facilities appeared to be used as storage for old appliances. It didn’t affect the unit in anyway, however just took away from the “luxury” of staying somewhere else for some time away.
The plunge pool was absolutely lovely. The unit was clean, and tidy and the amenities provided were great. It was very close to the beach, which was convenient.

AustraliaNo oven, only one hot plate so hard to cook a meal without taking double the time. Spa was cool and couldn’t find any heating systems to heat it up, pump & filter wasn’t on not. Maybe some instructions would be good to be left by the spa or something. Bedding did have wee little mold spots on the sheets, (tropics yes mouldy, expected but bedding preferably not)..no Doona, blanket was available but for those climatized a doona is much more nicer then the sheet & blanket. New four mile beach shack is beautiful, same owners as sassi in town. Broom, baby bath ect in laundry could do with an update as broom wasn’t able to be used.
Only ended up staying 1 night but Great property location close to beach, next to four mile tavern ect. Perfect for couples or singles.

New ZealandNothing not to like, simple is best!
- The proximity to the beach is a great bonus (while swimming is not advised there for obvious reasons, it is nice for a stroll) - Layout of the property and decoration is reminiscent of a Balinese resort - Chill out pool is beneficial just to unwind from doing the "touristy" things during the day - ex-pat Kiwi run Cafe (Kai) across the road - Property owner/manager provides clear and concise information about the property and responds to enquiries in a timely (if not immediate) manner. - Deceptively spacious accommodation

New ZealandUnfortunately the plunge pool wasn’t heated so I didn’t use it although Phil the owner said he would reset it when I left. He was very quick to come when the water was turned off albeit we discovered by the local council workers without advising anyone.
The apartment was located at the opposite end of Four Mile Beach to town with direct park & beach access and an easy 4.5km walk into town along the beach. It was completely enclosed with louvres for ventilation so I felt very secure as I was on my own most of the time. The bed was very comfy with lovely linen and a relaxed lounge area with all TV Chanels plus Netflix etc I would definitely stay here again.
