Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaOur apartment 722A could do with some softer lights. The only lights were insanely bright. Also the Samsung TV was a little hard to watch Apps on.
Loved the location! Couldn’t be any better. Our apartment 722A was specious and right on the road! We loved watching the world pass by each day.

AustraliaA “tired” hotel style room which hasn’t been well maintained or updated in years A window facing the stairwell with no blind or curtains so the bright light outside the window shone in all night, making it difficult to sleep. Broken and ill fitting sliding wooden shutters between the bathroom and the bed letting in light and smells. Serviced once in 10 days.
Wonderful location and beautifully kept and clean gardens and pool with ample clean sun lounges and umbrellas. Quiet and peaceful environment.

AustraliaWould have liked a gym to access. Would have been good to order from Vivo (the restaurant) to our room as we had little kids and taking them out to the restaurant every night was some times too much.

United KingdomThe cooktop is getting old. The access by stairs was inconvenient and probably unfriendly for people with mobility issues. Location of the soap dispenser vertically above the toilet roll is bad planning. The towel rail over the bath is so low it can’t be used. There could be more hooks for towels.
The unit was well laid out and had good lounge and kitchen facilities. Laundry was excellent. Outlook onto the pool was very pleasant. Gardens were well maintained.

AustraliaRequest for 30 min extra at check out went through a painful charade. Delegate simple things like this to receptionist. We are Accor members. No wifi in rooms was very poor. Reception only place to have wifi. Bathroom lights very dark. Please note - I very rarely give any negatives in our large number of stays. So please act on the above for the sake of others.
Ground floor request was granted due to knee problem. Room clean and average size. Pool area lovely and good access to esplanade.

AustraliaThe layout of the property. Absolut confusion to find the right exit out of car park to your room. Maze like feel. Why all these steps up and then down and up again to a terrace room. Weird architecture. Can't see that property to be wheelchair friendly or any other reason for mobility issues. But if your legs are great, and you are happy climbing stairs, this is a splendid place to stay.
Comfy beds, friendly staff. Great pool.
