How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe accomodation manager provided fantastic communication and was responsive to any enquiries. The location was amazing. I could not think of a place better positioned in Darwin. The apartment was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our 5 night holiday.
The hot water system in the building was pretty bad and it was necessary to run the taps for up to 5 minutes to get warm water to come through. The water was luke warm at best, which wasn't ideal for washing up or showering. As the only female in the travel party, I was the only one who had issues with this though, as the males preferred the cool showers and didn't do any washing up.

Verified reviewLocation brilliant. Clean. All the amenities including soaps and kitchen ware and containers provided. A few drinks and milk etc to get you started.
No pool as listed. Don't let this stop you cos there's plenty of places to swim right nearby. But perhaps they mean the ocean because there's a net to keep crocs out and swimming beach. but it's not a pool and slimy bottom and sand is difficult with baby. Or perhaps the wave pool nearby? But need to pay and I feel sick on the waves. This didn't bother me though as the place was otherwise perfect.

Verified review1. Location!! The apartment has excellent views of Darwin Waterfront and Harbour- we were lucky to witness all the Christmas festivities and light shows from our wide balcony. And, its a quick trip to the lift and down to join in on the action, restaurants and park on the doorstep. 2. Modern, comfortable, clean, spacious apartment is what our family of 7 needs ( 2 kids, 5 adults)
Basement Parking is so stuffy and hot and my boys always complained it was stinky 😜

Verified reviewNeptuna Over The Water has absolutely set the bar high for my accommodation expectations! It was very hard to leave the incredible views of the Waterfront, beautifully designed interior, super comfy beds and overstocked & well equipped kitchen. The gift of beer, wine & chocolates on arrival was extremely thoughtful and totally welcomed after our journey. Cleanliness - 110% spotless!! Our host Mandie was nothing short of exceptional. Going above and beyond to ensure our week stay was comfortable is probably an understatement. Where else do you find a host who offers to drive you to the nearest Woolies to stock up on wine?? We cannot thank our host Mandie enough for helping to make our stay one we will never forget.
It was a pleasure hosting you & your family Fiona & thank you for the lovely review :)

Verified reviewI have never been sadder to leave a holiday property (including 6-star-hotels). The apartment is fantastic - roomy, tastefully decorated, immaculately clean - and the location was amazing, we could walk everywhere and the view was awesome. The thoughtful host even left things like oil, salt and pepper, and condiments for use. I can't say enough good things about Neptuna Over The Water.
Honestly, nothing. We loved it.
