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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomThis hotel could be a jewel but at some point needs a bit of TLC renovation ( repainting / changing floor corridors going to rooms / and cleaner in corridors/ and pool surround). the pool area is nice but : 1. There are unclean things in areas inside the pool and 2. The white table by the sun chair was disgusting when it’s so easy to clean … Aside from that I would highly recommend and will be back !
Port Douglas peninsula boutique hotel is a well located cute hotel that has character. Only 5 mns walk from Main Street and shops. The manager and staff are very nice and helpful . Upon arrival my room was great and clean . Mattress and pillows were very comfortable too. Air conditioning worked well and there were no bugs🤗. The included breakfast was fabulous and dinner nice .

AustraliaIt would be a lovely treat to be able to stay on a local price. I would like to take the opportunity to stay more if there was a local discount price. Other than that, everything was exceptional.
Most comfortable and in an accessible position. Staff were friendly and pleasant. Happy to not have children at the resort, so felt comfortable and a quiet environment.

United KingdomReception closed at 6pm and we arrived at 8 so had to find our way around the hotel in the dark. I would expect someone to have been on reception later. Only one robe in the room and general house keeping could have been better as towels were taken and not received. Bar also closed very early (before 5pm)
The situation was perfect to walk into town or on to the beach. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay in a ground floor Oceanside room. Breakfast was excellent with the choice of a main and two sides, a fruit platter and good coffee. Pool was pleasant to sit by and water temperature was good. Great to have the beach across the road and a short walk to the Main Street.

LiechtensteinHousekeeping didn't consistently refill the coffee capsules, and the floor could have been swept better, as I often felt sand on my feet or socks. Otherwise, the room was clean. Reception was not open 24 hours. On Sunday, when I checked in and wanted to book a massage, the reception had already closed by around 4 pm. There were not enough deckchairs.
The room was exceptional, in great condition, and featured a specially designed large bathroom with both a shower and a big bathtub. I loved the warm and welcoming design, with terracotta tiles on the floor and small greenish square tiles in the bathroom. The kitchenette was amazing, equipped with a small dishwasher drawer and a coffee capsule machine. I requested a high floor with a good view, and they fulfilled my request. The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, making me feel welcome and valued as a guest. Given the small area, the pool was nicely integrated with waterfalls and multiple levels. The breakfast was delicious and sufficient to get you started for the day. You could choose a main course with sides and a hot barista drink, and all in-house guests received a fruit platter. Additionally, there is a laundry room on every floor, and usage is included in the room rate. Overall, it was a very good hotel in its category.
