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.).

AustraliaWe noted that we had a car but all parking spots were full when we arrived. The driveway is steep & it is very narrow to turn around once you enter. It took us many attempts to get back out, had to do a lap around the block to find street parking (then our car got ‘egged’ overnight), quite frustrating after travelling interstate & we just wanted to turn in.
Great location, funky decor, complimentary mini bar, great rainfall shower head & comfy bed. Loved that it’s a short walk from the beach.

AustraliaAircon/heating in the lounge area of the 2 bedroom unit would be a great addition!
This is my second stay at the Cheshire Cat and I couldn't recommend it any more! The contact free check in was smooth, the communication was great, the facilities are exactly as picture and the location is so convenient. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

AustraliaWe stayed here as our flight was cancelled last minute. It was close to the airport and the Cat made it very difficult to not extend our stay even longer! Epic, thoughtful design. Loved the shampoo/conditioner and the surprises in the fridge - especially the Travla!

AustraliaI had a great stay at The Cheshire Cat Motel. The location was perfect – just a short walk to the beach. The interior really did have a nostalgic charm about it and made the space feel cozy and inviting. Plus, it’s close to some great restaurants. Also, a special mention to the playlist they had going in the morning – so good! MEOW :)

AustraliaIt is a bit costly and it would be nice for a “clothes line” of sorts for swimwear and towels.
I originally came across CC on Instagram and fell in love with the aesthetic. I chose CC not only due to the vibes but the proximity to the airport. We stayed for one night as we had accommodation in Surfers prior, but knew we wanted a night closer to the airport for our morning flight. As we had suitcases and bags we messaged via the GOKI app on the day of departure from Surfers and our arrival to Palm Beach to see if they were able to accommodate an early check in so we could stow away our luggage and explore, which they were able to do. We had a glitch with our code to enter our room but they were able to fix it promptly. The room was clean and what we needed. The pool (also a vibe) was nice and private. The complimentary mini bar was appreciated, we love to try local! Close to the beach and eateries (100% recommend The Collective for a meal; we were hoping to try Rice and Rhymes and Cadillac Supper Club but they were closed when we stayed). Overall we were very happy with our stay!
