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 reviewWe had a first floor apartment which was comfortably furnished. We have stayed in a number of apartments in Port Douglas over the years and return to Mowbray because of the size of the balconies and proximity to the beach. The staff are very pleasant and helpful to deal with. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
The bathrooms are becoming a tired when compared to more recently built properties. There is no lift so accessing the upper floor apartment requires climbing stairs which would be a challenge for people with mobility issues. .

Verified reviewThe (heated) pool and resort location are winners! Martin ( manager) was very helpful and attentive - inc lugging our heavy cases to and from our top floor unit. Thanks Martin!
I think that it’s probably time for some refresh of some aspects. Eg. Our bathrooms were very modern and fresh but some kitchen floor tiles were chipped and doors did not shut easily ( I go understand the swelling of woodwork in a humid climate).

Verified reviewThe location is excellent. It is very close to the patrolled area of Four mile beach as well as some seaside restaurants. It is only a short walk to Macrosson street where most of the local shopping and eating places in Port Douglas are located .
I would be happy to stay here again however I think some attention needs to be given to improving the cleaning. The basic cleaning is adequate but the louvres are very dusty as are the fans etc. If this were improved It would be a faultless stay.

Verified reviewnice pool, great location, responsive hosts and helpful when asked. The apartment is spacious enough, big balcony. 2 ensuites to make it comfy too. Host is responsive and provide support when asked.
place was not very clean when we arrived. host made up for it. Could do with more of the basic stuff - provide coffee, tea, oil (none available). provide more shower gel, toilet paper, etc. Suggestion - soft close for the pool gate, as the unit is just next to it and can get a bit noisy in the morning.
