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...).

AustraliaReally nothing major to complain about. A little magnified mirror with a light might be a good addition to the bathrooms, we found the light too low (for applying make up or shaving etc). The fountain just inside our front gate is loud at night. Perhaps the fountain pressure could adjusted or turned off after 10.00.
We were very impressed with the villa and gardens. The plunge pool was private and relaxing, adding that luxury quality to the open balinese vibe of the accommodation. Everything for a comfortable stay is included from washing machine, dryer to bbq. Staff were attentive and friendly. Looking forward to our next stay there.

AustraliaVilla 73, was very nice, but needs maintenance. It's looking a bit tired and outdated. It needs a few dollars spent on it to keep up with the others. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but for the cost of the rental it should have been better. The other couple we visited seemed fresher.
The restaurant is adequate. The communal pool is awesome. The villa private pool was heated and great.

AustriaThe location is not walking distance to the centre of Port Douglas, one have to drive or order a shuttle bus. It was all right for us but might not be ideal for some travellers.
We loved the design and the tranquility of the place. It was very comfortable and well stocked. Our private villa combined with luxury hotel facilities, like spa, big pool and restaurant, was ideal! An extra bonus: the hotel is near a kitesurfing and wing foiling beach, which we used a lot!

New ZealandThe reception was very welcoming, restaurant food was truly delicious, absolutely 5 star quality dining and extremely reasonable .
Firstly you must realise every Villa is privately owned, so a review reflects one villa not all. We were ungraded to a 3 bedroom villa when we had booked a 2 bedroom. Extremely spacious, beautiful private pool, lots of space

SingaporeThe oven didn’t seem to work at the temperature that was meant to be, resulting in a much longer time to cook our dishes…the dish washer also didn’t work but since we were leaving, we didn’t bother to get the technician to come and repair it.
Very well kept estate with beautiful landscaping and spacious villas. Each villa is fully equipped with a full kitchen and dining room. The plunge pool was also a highlight of the stay during the hot summer afternoons.

AustraliaThe restaurant menu was a little restrictive. We would have liked to see an all day menu.
The villa was fantastic and the staff were very good and made us welcome right from the start. Ordering food to be delivered direct to the villa was also a nice touch. Just meant we could spend more time by our own private pool.
