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 reviewGreat location. The views from the verandah were fabulous.
The kitchen equipment was very basic. We couldn't find a teapot or anything to make coffee in. Things like pepper in the pantry would have been nice. We were three single adults staying for a week. The second bedroom wasn't really big enough for that, I'd recommend the place for families not friend groups.
Happy you enjoyed your stay. All the appartments in the Oaks are the same. We supplied tea coffee, milk and some condiments. We don’t supply anything else. We supply what most motels supply.

Verified reviewLight apartment with nice view of the sea. Lovely main bedroom. Two bathrooms.
The second bedroom has no outside window and the inside one is blacked out so no natural light nor fresh air . This contrasts with the lovely main bedroom so difficult if you are travelling with friends. Stove top was cracked. No basic food stuffs supplied.
All the apartments are the same in The oaks. The second bedroom can’t have a window that you can look out of because it is part of the corridor. The cracked stove is safe, there is a new one at the side of the fridge to be installed.

Felt un safe in the shower. No hand rail, no anti slip mat so we used a beach towel on the shower floor for safety.

Verified reviewA large, well equipped and comfortable apartment close to the centre of Darwin Has a spectacular view over the bay to the east. The sunrises are great and the balcony is also nice for dinner al fresco
It is a private apartment, and has a strict 10am checkout, so there is no possibility to leave luggage when you have a later flight.
Hi James, Happy you enjoyed your stay.

Verified reviewDidn't get info on locked box. Had to ring and request. Difficulty finding locked box due to poor directions. Perhaps needs a photo to assist or clearer directions.
Place hadn't been cleaned upon arrival. The patio door didn't lock-security issue.
Hi Libby, The information was sent to you. You realized after you looked on booking.com that I had sent you the information. No one has trouble finding the lock box the information that I give is well explained. The cleaner hadn't been but was there straight away. This has never happened in the past and you were very understanding at the time. The patio door will be fixed but on the 15th floor there is no issues with security. When I spoke to you, you were happy with you stay.

Could have had a bbq on balcony and the place was smaller than I thought. Was good for just 1 couple but not for other people or kids to stay
Hi Maggie Unfortunately we are not allowed to have BBQ on the balcony being in a motel. It is 2 bedroom with 2 bathrooms and a full size kitchen, lounge and dining room. It is a very good size for a motel room.

Verified reviewGreat location. Clean.
The property is an Airbnb even though it looks like it’s apart of oaks hotel. You have to transfer $300 into sue Gibbs personal bank account before you can receive the keys. Very dodgy! Her phone manner is poor at best. And I felt extremely uncomfortable transferring her from the get go. She has now only returned half of my deposit claiming we damaged/cracked a fob when we didn’t. Sue only provided 3 adults with 1 key/fob initially and we had to fight to get a second set. Sue is not a good host and I would not recommend staying at her Airbnb.
Hi Ashleigh, I'm sorry you feel this way. The property is in the Oaks building which is a residential & Hotel building. In my profile, it clearly states a damage deposit must be paid to be withheld to cover accidental damages during your stay. This is inline with many other short stay rentals, and supported by all booking platforms. In this case, you, or one of the other guests damaged the key fob, which needed to be replaced at a cost of $150.00. This was also granted, after an investigation from Booking.com. All information about the property including rules and a requirement for a security deposit are provided prior to your confirmation. Please take time to read this information when making future bookings so you can avoid disappointment and providing a false and incorrect review.
