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.).

AustraliaQuality of food was certainly not worth the price they were charging. Disappointing there was no sauna/steam room on site or in the Osprey Spa.
Extremely clean & comfortable botanica villa, very private with own car space. Wonderful facilities with lagoon pool & adults only pool, easy access to beach and walking trails.

AustraliaWe had trouble getting the aircon / heating to be consistent, the controls weren't intuitive and the settings didn't appear consistent with the output.
Stunning grounds. Nice staff with an amazing restaurant. We had a delicious dinner and dessert, and recommended it to our family. The bath was spacious for 2 and the individual bungalows were large and beautiful.

AustraliaIt’s very very expensive, Family of 5 have to purchase x2 rooms making it thousands of dollars. It’s not a real family friendly place it’s more for rich couples. I had a spa voucher booked for me from a friend as a gift (I didn’t book it ) the ladies at spa were not very helpful they wanted to charge me to cancel my appointment but the appointment was made by somebody else and at the time I was checking out , I had my daughter with me and she said kids were not allowed in the spa area but she wouldn’t allow me to change to another day or they were going to charge me to cancel it when I thought it was a gift voucher and I could come back at any time , so my daughter had to sit in reception and wait for me to do the spa treatment , I feel like they just wanted money the whole time.. Other than that it’s a beautiful place.
Beautiful beach access , buggies to pick you up at your service , lots of things to do , relaxing

AustraliaOur Villa was near the service area - rubbish bins , cleaning equipment/ products. We were woken both mornings on a weekend by the large rubbish bin collection at 6.30-7am. Spa near kids pool and all you can hear are pool noises during spa treatments. All little disappointed for what you pay to stay and spa treatment prices.

AustraliaOur room was located too far away from the rest of the party so couldn’t just duck in or walk over for the 50th but the buggies easily accommodated us.
I loved our room and the staff and the buggies. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I have had and I usually steer away from a buffet but the staff were the standout.. nothing was too hard.

Australiathe villas are quite far from facilities, so walking in the rain wasn’t ideal. That being said they do offer, pick up buggy services, to run you around. We just felt strange using them, as we felt families should be prioritised.
