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 reviewIt's about an 8 minute drive from Port Douglas and there are two golf courses right next door, so it's a great location. Additionally, the private and main pools are great and I don't think you'll find a better place to stay with kids.
The only downside is that there's a slight mouldy smell that comes from the temperature difference between the air inside and outside, but it's not too bad.
Hi Scott, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We love hearing you enjoyed the resort pool and private pool. It really is a great location for families! During January we had some heavy downfalls that may have contributed to the damp smell. We use dehumidifiers, keep our air conditioners on dry and fans going to ensure there is always good ventilation. We hope to host you again in the future. Warm regards, The Boutique Team

Verified reviewIt was a well equipped nicely appointed spacious apartment. We enjoyed the private pool.
We stayed for one night short of two weeks. I expected a linen change mid stay. This apartment is part of the Sea Temple Resort but managed privately. On enquiring if beds would be changed half way through our stay, I was informed that was why there was a washing machine in the apartment. So I found myself stripping beds and washing sheets and towels, which was not what I wanted to do whilst on holiday. Almost all the beach towels were full of holes.
Hi Jane, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We love hearing you enjoyed the apartment and private pool. Really sorry that you felt washing your sheets and towels was not pleasant while on holidays. Our apartments are advertised as un-serviced (no matter how long you stay), as they are a home away from home! It is also how we keep our rates lower than market, and i think you'll find very few accommodations offer cleans these days, for the same reason. For an extra fee we do offer housekeeping services, which range from a towel change, full linen change or a complete clean. We would have gladly arranged one of these for you. Warm regards - The Boutique Collection

Verified reviewRoom was spacious and had all the amenities required. Resort pool was the absolute highlight of the trip. Heated, clean an lots of space to spread out.
Rooms were clean except the tiled floors which you couldn't walk on without shoes otherwise soles of feet or socks turned black. We had a reserved parking spot but another car was parked there for 4 out of the 5 days so we had to find another spot to park. Would be better if the door locked to stop others from parking there. The private room pool was not heated so not so pleasant to use, so used the resort pool instead.
Hi Karmen, thank you for your overall great review. The car parking is not reserved unless there is signage. You are welcome to park anywhere that is not reserved and there is plenty of parking at the resort. Our housekeeping staff could have returned to redo the tiled floors if you had contacted us directly. The resort pool isn't heated, but it has more sun than the private pool.
