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...).

AustraliaAbsolutely loved this place. It was near the beautiful Clifton Beach and a really quiet, peaceful street. I loved walking to the beach and exploring the local parks. The room was super clean and equipped with everything and more I needed. There were details they provided that showed the owners really care about their guests and I felt very looked after. Thanks for a beautiful stay here.

AustraliaWould have like some smaller tea/coffee cups. Being older, thought the mat beside the bed would be a danger to slipping on it. But just have to fold up and replace on leaving.
What sets Sea Turtle apart from others, is the attention to detail and extras added. Beautifully decorated in a turtle theme. Kitchenette had kettle, toaster, fridge, crockery, cutlery, bug spray and cleaning products. Good sized bathroom with rain shower head. In drawers were extras like bandaids, sanitiser, sun screen, Kleenex and facial cleansing pads. We appreciated the treats supplied like biscuits, fruit juice, two types of milk, chocolates, cup of soups, crackers and nut bars. Bed was comfortable and extra blanket available in chest of drawers. As well as a small round table, there was an enclosed deck area to relax on. Easy access to Clifton Beach at end of cul de sac. Beach towels supplied if you wanted to go for a swim . We enjoyed relaxing here after long drives. Only 25 mins from Cairns. Thanks, Tania, Rob and Sandy for making our last night in the area enjoyable.

Beautifully styled, spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed. Just minutes away from the beach and a short drive to Palm Cove. We could not fault the property and wished we could have stayed longer.

Staying in Clifton Beach was such a wonderful experience! The apartment was well-equipped, comfortable, and even better than expected. I especially loved the small details—things like coffee, body wash, and little treats really made a difference. The hosts were incredibly warm and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The location is perfect: a peaceful retreat yet within walking distance to Coles, Palm Cove, and the beach. I would absolutely stay here again!

AustraliaThere are 2 barking dogs on the property, right next to the apartment and they always bark at 7am. Feel like it needs to be noted in the booking description at least.
Very good location, clean and modern. Had all the necessaries.

AustraliaNothing comes to mind.
Sea Turtle was a great find, located in a very quiet street in Clifton Beach. It was only a short 5 minute walk through the park to get to Clifton Beach and close enough to the shopping centre for any supplies. The studio unit was very tastefully appointed, with everything catered for and very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The area is very peaceful and in a cul-de-sac of neighbouring houses, all some distance away. Off street parking is provided. Very clear directions upon arrival and good communication with the co-owner Sandra. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Excellent value for money, given the location and high standard of all facilities.

AustraliaThe fan on the air-conditioning unit wasn't very effective so the room got a bit warm at times. We didn't want to use the air-conditioning unless it was really necessary. A ceiling fan would be good.
Everything. Quiet spot, easy walk to the beach. 2 minute drive to the shops. Well appointed, very clean, with private courtyard, comfy bed, air conditioning

AustraliaWe recently stayed at SeaTurtle, and I have to say, it exceeded our expectations in every way. The check-in process was smooth and the host was incredibly responsive, making sure everything was set up for a comfortable stay. The apartment itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a blend of modern amenities and cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home.
