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...).

Australia- Breakfast was pretty standard, not really 5 star, not really different from a 3 stars. It wasn’t bad, just regular. -there were not enough sun beds that had wide umbrellas, so people were struggling to find a spot out of the sun. And therefore hotel had issue with people blocking sun beds. - the rooms were a bit tired and dated. Rooms need renovation. A bit of dust here and there but really needs renovation in the next year to continue being the best. - the spa bathtubs on the balconies look good but so loud, so really nobody would turn them on. There is nothing relaxing in having a bath with such volume of motor. Save yourself a trouble, just remove them during your next renovation. Simple bath is much cheaper and more useful. - the restaurant at the front of the property looks very poor and uninviting, just plastic and a bunch of tables. Just look at Vivo, this is the style of the venue you’d expect to see at the front of a 5 stars property. People nowadays don’t just go for a meal deal, people require a good vibe and an aesthetically appealing ambiance. - some places, I noted had a cosmetic renovation, but the quality is low. Lobby and pool toilets and changing rooms: the wallpaper is peeling, finishes are cheap, doors are scratched, no ventilation, not a 5-stars property vibe. - toilets in the lobby shall both become unisex toilets. Have seen multiple times people waiting on one toilet while other gender toilet is free. Overall the renovation shall be done and designed by a professional hotel architect/designer, not just repaint or stick wallpaper. Quality finishes and materials must be used, like quality contemporary tapware, wall finishes and furniture. No plastic or limited plastic for the restaurants.
Swimming pools were fantastic.

AustraliaBreakfast was too expensive for us, which was disappointing Housekeeing was fairy average and the supplied products were awful, I went and purchased soap, shampoo, conditioner and wish I had bought laundry detergent myself. the shampoo and conditioner smelled very strongly of cloves which is NOT a universally enjoyed smell to have in your hair and the shower gel was so watered down it was almost unusable. The laundry detergent was truly useless, I am currently re washing all the clothes I washed while away as they are not at all clean.
The reception staff were lovely and extremely helpful, especially with booking last minute tours. The pools were beautiful and a real highlight of our stay. The room was larger than we expected and the outlook and views were really gorgeous. The hotel was very well situated, everything was super easy to access. We appreciated being able to use the pools before and after checkout very much, especially with an excited small child

AustraliaThe pool is not heated, too cold to swim in on 28-degree days in August. Needs to be heated or at least the spa. Long walk to lift access rooms, hard to confirm prior that we would be given a room with lift access even though disability issues were explained. We took the risk. Felt it a bit abrupt when I asked if I should book another accommodation due to the disability issue the person on the phone said "yes".
I liked I was given a room with lift access as requested. The day spa was awesome. Breakfast was great. Reception staff lovely during our stay. Parking was excellent.

AustraliaNo lift - we carried a pram up and down stairs multiple times a day. Out of touch with their customer - a family 3x room apartment didn’t have plastic bowls/ plates, there were no hairstyling tools. We wouldn’t do the breakfast again. An omelette or juice station would be great.
Pool & beach pool. Location was excellent.

Australiadifficult to get pool sun lounges as everyday they were reserved very early morning by people but never used til mid morning. The resort did realise this problem and did take actions by advising all guess that reserving sun lounges was no longer possible. The situation did improved but again not easy to get a pool sun lounge
