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.).

Very comfortable and spacious unit. We loved being in the quieter canal area, but still an easy walk to the beach, coastal pathway and eateries.

AustraliaThe washing machine seal was mouldy. The window screens & blinds were dusty in the bedrooms & bathroom. The patio glass doors were all smudged & needed cleaning. There were ants running along the Bathroom shower wall & up into the ceiling. The shower was a bit small & the water escaped out the gap next to the door.
We stayed next door in a Riva apartment. The outlook to the river & boats was lovely. The beds were comfy. The kitchen & large Living & Dining area adjoining the patio were spacious. Parking under the building was handy with lift access. The Spa pool was nice next door in Excellsior. Having 2 bathrooms worked well.

The apartment was a great size and only a short walk to most of the activities we had planned.

AustraliaI paid for an upgrade which was supposed to be on 3rd floor or above. I was allocated a unit on the 1st floor and the had to pay an additional amount to get a higher unit. The parking spaces were very narrow and I couldn’t get my car into the first space I was allocated. There were no coffee pods for the coffee machine and no dishwasher tablets. I had to get these from reception the next day. The table only had 2 chairs and it needs replacing as the top was peeling off. The blinds needed cleaning.
It had a nice kitchen and bathroom with a washer and dryer. The bed was comfortable. It was close to attractions. Great view of the canal.

AustraliaThe apartment is a bit humid and I guess, for this reason, the curtains throughout the apartment were very moldy. I'm quite allergic so this and the dust in some places like inside the table lamp in the rooms, walls and in the ceiling, made me a bit itchy.
The location is great, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed. We had a very pleasant stay at Sailfish Apartment.

AustraliaBeing an older apartment block, there was no lift - unfortunately I was in a moon boot and struggled with the stairs. We were gifted the top floor which would have been a fantastic plus under normal circumstances. Acknowledge this is not the fault of the property managers - they do make you aware there was no lift.
Although a little older, the apartment was in perfect order. The bed was super comfortable with lovely soft pillows and bedding. The bathroom had been renovated. Laundry facilities were excellent size. Kitchen was very well stocked with cutlery and crockery, as well as basic cooking facilities and some supplies. Also does have a pool (kids were disappointed it was out of order being repaired, however totally understandable being winter!).

AustraliaThe shower was open with basically no walls allowing water to spray on the bathroom floor. For older people a slippery floor is dangerous. There were some areas where cleaning was not up to the mark; but generally where it matters, very clean.
The apartment was well situated, very homely and comfortable with everything you need to live comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay and would return at another time.
