How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA spacious apartment that had everything we needed for a young family with an active 2 yo toddler. He wouldn't go in the cot, but we could push one of the double beds against the wall to reduce the chance of a fall. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, including some tupperware to store leftovers and a blender, which you don't normally see. Laundry, dryer and a clothesline meant we could wash clothes every day and have them ready the next morning. After we put our son to sleep, we loved having access to the Playstation, X Box and Nintendo Switch as well as streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ etc. Our son loved the rooftop, especially doing movie nights and BBQs, along with some of the games available (like cornhole). Izaak was always contactable and gave us lots of great recommendations for where to eat. He was also flexible when it came to checking in, and where we could store our bags before our departing flights, which we really appreciated. The location is also A+. It's a 5 minute walk to the marina, which has a heap of restaurants and bars as well as the Sea Life Aquarium, and then just a minute further to Mooloolaba's foreshore, which has even more places to eat and drink, as well as playgrounds. Bus stop is just around the corner, which we used to visit Sunshine Plaza in Maroochydore for a day out (about 20 mins away on the bus). We were given keys to the garage, which we didn't need as we didn't have a car. Access to the apartment involves a digital lock, which is easy to use and saves the hassle of needing to take keys with you when you leave. We'd definitely stay again. Thanks Izaak!
Families with young kids, and prams, should note that the penthouse is on the third floor and there is no elevator. We didn't find it too much of a problem but appreciate this is something others would like to know about.

Verified reviewThank you for allowing early check in, this was really helpful and much appreciated
It was expensive. Also we had thought from description that we had private pool and rooftop terrace but infact pool was a small shared one on complex, and roof terrace was accessible to all. Also broken day bed and no sofa covers on roof terrace a minor inconveniance, but given the price (over $2000 for a three night stay) not unreasonable to expect.

Verified reviewI felt that the place was no where near as good as described and pictures were way better than what we got, not clean, towels terrible and all the hoo ha on how good Izzak is to deal with was over rated, too ages to respond to messages and didn’t respond to others that didn’t suit him.Over all very disappointing and a classic example of not judging a book by it’s cover.

Verified reviewIt's location was fine and was clean inside unit.
The rooftop was falsely advertisised and disappointing things where broken and didn't work (Nintendo Wii, all door handles where loose an didnt lock. More small things that where disappointing. For $690 a night it was very disheartening and frustrating.
I find this review extremely harsh, booking was a last minute over New Years so of course the prices are higher than normal. The rooftop now has an outdoor sitting area for 6 people instead of the bar which was damaged by guests recently alongside the Nintendo wii. Given the back to back booking I was unable to fix a few items that were damaged by past guests. I offered the guest a portion refund and due to that fact they we're unhappy about the rooftop bar. Don't be disheartened by this review
