Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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🤔...nothing! The cooler climate and the rain that came...not a problem 🥰. We just kept warm as we watched the birds, fish, boats, ships...all close by! And the shopping area was lovely. If I could, I would live there...ahhh well...just go back for another stay 🤗!
No...I didn't like it! I loved it!!! We all did! Excellent place! Dave and Bec are wonderful managers, and from all the places I have stayed at over the years, they have been preferred by me. I hope I can get back there as I grow older 🥰.

AustraliaThe internet was too slow, which did not allow you to access some channels on the TV.
The apartment was spacious, well-appointed and the furnishings were comfortable. The large balcony had incredible sea views. We also had secure, undercover parking.

AustraliaCouldn’t use bath 😫. I rarely get a break away from caring for my mum and when I do, I love a good bath to relax. One hour to me is a week to most people. Foxtel. Sadly so many channels not accessible. The wind created havoc with free to air tv. Taking grandkids away, tv is a must. Couldn’t get any free to air channels working ( yes we were advised on check in) but no point in foxtel because even family channel wasn’t available.
The space. The view. Nothing was a problem with help from reception

AustraliaCoffee machine was grotty, we cleaned it out but ended up not using it. Limited foxtel and normal TV, couldn't access Netflix although not enough time anyway.
Check in process quick. Lift access by secure key. Apartment clean and tidy. Spa bath in main ensuite. Pool looked great but didn't have time to use. View is spectacular and the bonus was the access road being a cul de sac so no passing traffic noise. Some great cafes just across the road, Vietnamese is recommended. Will definitely stay again. Two bedroom only has front view. Lovely 30 min walk to the town and head south as well as Power Boat club worth a visit.

AustraliaI only had 3 nights to enjoy it. I would have loved to stay a full week. Shop 5 mins aways in town as the local IGA is very expensive, with limited stock.
The view! The apartment! The location! You get a view of the glass house mountains on the back balcony and the ocean from the front balcony. Apartment was completely stocked for cooking for the family and had a spa bath.
