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 reviewLocation was great, customer service was friendly decent size and the outdoor area was good
There was dust everywhere, in the lights, lamps, door frames, fans. The bathroom tap was leaking, the BBQ barely put any heat out to cook, the dishwasher didn't work and there seemed to be no light switch for the lights above dining table or they just didn't go. Its a real shame as first impressions were awesome but the longer we were there the more we realized how dirty and run down it is.
Thank you for your feedback, though we’re genuinely surprised by your comments. Your stay with us was clearly for an extended period, and at no point did you bring any of these concerns to our on-site manager — who is always available and more than willing to assist. We also want to clarify that Booking.com no longer permits or supports anonymous reviews. This one appears to have been submitted through an outdated version of their app, which unfortunately prevents us from following up with you directly or verifying the accuracy of your claims. Had you raised any of these issues during your stay, we would have acted on them immediately — as we always strive to ensure a clean, well-maintained, and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Most of the points you've raised could have been resolved quickly, had we been given the opportunity. We take all feedback seriously and have since double-checked everything you mentioned to ensure it does not affect future guests. We simply ask that guests communicate with us during their stay so we can address matters in real time.

Verified reviewWe were 6 pax plus a child. We had an extra bed. Assigned at 1A family room big and very spacious enough for all of us. 1st floor Which is good bec we got 2 senior citizens. The building manager is very helpful. The place is clean. The living room design is elegant. It is pretty close to the beach. They have a spa as well, tennis court and gym. The view is great.
Just no door in the bathroom of the main bedroom. Other than that its perfect.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed staying at Marriner Views - it was a great location, stunning views and overall good value for money we thought.
Some of the facilities were a bit tired and broken, and there was broken glass on the floor when we arrived, a number of light bulbs not working, no gas in the BBQ, a few things that could have been easily addressed.
Dear Nicola, Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay at Marriner Views. We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, views, and found your stay to be good value—those are some of the things we love most about the property too. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced. The broken glass was the result of a recently replaced balcony door panel—while we did a thorough clean-up, it seems we may have missed a few glass crystals, and we're truly sorry for that oversight. Regarding the lighting, all lights were checked prior to your stay and were in working order, apart from the laundry light, which had a loose connection and has now been fixed. As for the BBQ, thank you for raising this during your stay. The gas was promptly replaced using the spare cylinder we always keep at reception for the communal BBQ area, and we're always happy to assist with this if needed in the future. We genuinely appreciate your constructive comments and hope to welcome you back again soon for an even smoother experience. Warm regards, Steve

Verified reviewFantastic location 1 street away from beachfront. Spacious and very well appointed 2 brm/2 bathroom unit on the 9th floor with full laundry and deep bath. Great views of the water and sunsets, walking distance to Cahill Ave. Spa and heated swimming pool.
Main bed was very hard and as bouncy as an airbed - not great for 2 people. I like a firm bed, but this was uncomfortably hard. Pillows were also either very hard, or flat. Not much ambient lighting - all were very bright
Dear Anneke, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location, beautiful views, and the spacious, well-appointed apartment. It's great to know the proximity to the beachfront and local attractions, along with the amenities like the spa and heated pool, helped make your stay enjoyable. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the bedding and lighting. Comfort is such a personal thing, and we're sorry to hear that the main bed and pillows didn’t quite meet your expectations. We'll be reviewing these items with our team and considering possible upgrades to improve the overall guest experience. Your note about the lighting is also helpful, and we’ll look into options to create a more ambient atmosphere in the unit. Thank you again for staying with us—we hope to welcome you back for an even more comfortable stay in the future. Warm regards, Steve

Dear Kaylee, it was an absolute pleasure having you and your family stay in this very popular apartment and thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the many positive aspects of your stay, like the beautiful apartment, pool area, and the convenient location. It’s also great to hear that we were able to assist you during your time here. We do so wish that we'd been given the opportunity to address your concerns at the start of your stay, rather than learning about them on your day of departure.

Your feedback about the wear and tear is valuable, and we will be taking immediate steps to address it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to host you again in the future.
