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.).

Absolutely filthy. Faeces in the toilet, floors were dirty and needed a vacuum and mop. Could not use the kettle as it had brown grim in it. The whole unit stinks so bad. Owner did not believe me, I've got photos. Over priced and I warn you do not waste your money, there's plenty of other resorts around.
We were very surprised to read your review, as it does not reflect the standard of our property or the feedback we consistently receive from other guests. Cleanliness is something we take extremely seriously, and our apartments are professionally serviced before every check-in. Had there truly been any issue on arrival, we would have been more than happy to send our cleaners back immediately to resolve it. We also note that your comments do not align with the condition the property was left in at checkout, nor with the experiences of our many guests who have rated us highly. While we respect everyone is entitled to their opinion, we do not believe your comments are an accurate reflection of our property.

Verified reviewProximity to everything was very good. Good sized apartment for a family or group of friends. Decent value for money.
There was mould throughout the apartment. The bathroom and third bedroom smelt so strongly of mould it was off-putting. There was dust all over some walls and artworks. Not very good for someone that has allergies or hygiene concerns. Ants throughout kitchen and even living room.

Verified reviewEasy to access, location wise. Shane Kelly was always available and really nice to speak to. A good basic place to stay overnight with our grown up kids. Roomy enough. Good shower pressure.
We were on the ground level, might be a bit warm in very hot weather, not sure that it would be so comfortable getting ready in the afternoon for a special function. Glad it wasn’t a hot day for us.

Verified reviewThe property was about a 10/15 minute walk to restaurants and shops. The property was clean and practical. The beds were comfortable. The property manager was excellent and the communication around the booking was great.
We had issues with the internet and the ceiling fan, however the property manager came directly over and corrected the issue immediately. The property is old and it is noticeable in the bathroom,kitchen and furniture. The grass was very long behind the apartment.

Verified reviewThe location
Didn't like that it was below other residential properties as the neighbours were noisy. Spent most of the night/ 3am awake due to the people living above. Can hear voices swearing coming from next door early hours of the night. Security door didn't lock. Didn't feel 100% safe. Glad it was only 1 night as we weren't there for most of the stay apart from sleeping. Musty smell as soon as we walked into the place from being locked up. The place looks tired due to the building being older.

Verified reviewGreat homely space, and a quiet neighbourhood. Very comfy beds. Loved the spare toilet paper roll ‘flower’.
The bathroom needs to be repainted near the shower as there is mould coming through the paint.

Verified reviewThe location was great for access to the Alex beach, and both Alex and Mooloolaba strips. It was also a large and comfortable space for 3 couples and/or family.
The room had a slightly musty smell from being closed to start with. This aired out quickly. TV reception was sketchy and only one or 2 channels worked most of the day. I was able to watch the football in the evening, so that was a good consolation. Again, not having TV is arguable whether it is a positive or a negative.

Verified reviewConvenient location
After driving 14 hours with 4 kids, we had to walk the street at 1am looking for the mailbox to confirm the address. The mailbox was hidden well inside the bushes making it very difficult to find the unit. The unit itself is quite old and needs an upgrade. The unit was quite dirty, large build ups of gunk and dirt in areas, dirty dishes placed back into cupboards, dirty kitchen cabinets and there is mould around the walls and ceilings. The 'supplied' toiletries were all empty, 'supplied' cleaning products were empty, not enough utensils for the number of people booked for, continually ran out of hot water due to the tiny size of the system, so only 2 out of the 6 booked for could shower. Will not stay again and would not recommend.

We got tricked into booking this place. The photos make it look like it’s a high rise apartment, we stupidly booked it by the photos. On arrival the place was disgusting, there was mould everywhere, the place smelled like stale piss and there were literal ants in our face washers and towels. I took photos and videos of it all. Yuck.
We are sorry that you feel tricked , We have stated that this is an older unit , but in an amazing location with a short walk to the beach , And also the price that you paid to sleep 6 people is the best part of all
