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 reviewThat the accomodation was close to my family
Oh where to start, soon as I drove to my park, I knew I had been ripped off, 60 year old units, open food and there is a bed,like a maze to get gear in, had to walk sideways, other room the same, no legroom to go to toilet in the night, back to the wall to get to end of bed. Beds good, unit clean, no cockroaches, stiflingly small. Outside garden same, walk through a maze of dirty stained lounges, rubbish in garden, pailings piled up one end, good for snakes to hide in, as a whole, unkept, dirty. My son banged his heard on the box aircon, once again no room to move when car is parked. This is the most amount of money I have ever spent on accomodation $420 a night, this is disgraceful that someone can profit from another's misery, I was heartbroken.

Verified reviewLocation - one street back from the beach, close to shops and restaurants. Great price for this location
Unusual layout. Front door opens into main bedroom. Second bedroom was small, hard to get down sides of bed.
Thank you, Andy, for sharing your feedback. It’s greatly appreciated!

Verified reviewThe location is great, very convenient for food. The pool is also good especially with kids to play in and cool down. The unit has a very relaxed feel to it and fulfilled our needs.
The front door that opened straight into the bedroom doesn’t have a security door.
Thank you Anita for your review.

Verified reviewGreat location-close to beach and local restaurants. Property was clean, had everything we needed and the extras available were great-beach towels, coffee and cleaning materials. We really appreciated the quick response of our hosts when the coffee machine stopped working.
The entrance through the bedroom and the lack of light in the kitchen was a bit challenging at first but we got used to the size of the property and enjoyed our stay.
Thank you Louise for sharing your feedback.

Verified reviewGreat location, private courtyard, nice pool.
Lovely fenced courtyard but requires removal of old fence palings and broken umbrella. The garden definitely needs a general tidy up.
Thank you Lynette for sharing your feedback we will check the umbrella ASAP!

Verified reviewRambling Rose is located one block from the main street, beach and restaurants. Beds were comfortable and it was relaxing having a wine in the private fenced court-yard (although it was on a side street and visible to passers-by). Having no limit on the internet, Netflix & You Tube was an advantage. The apartment was comfortable for our week's stay. Having a cupboard filled with basics which could be used on a 'replace if used basis ' was handy as the main supermarket is a car drive away.
Although adequate, the apartment was outdated and wasn't as it looked in the photos. If you stay there be careful with your hire-car as car spaces are compact and backing out difficult. A clothes-airer would have been a useful addition to the dryer.
Thank you Legn for your review.

Verified reviewLocation was great.
I found the property was compact. The living/kitchen area and bedrooms were small. It was great having the outside seating but a pity about the mozzies.
Thank you Yvonne for your nice review. We are trying to fight mozzies as much as we can but unfortunately, they just love our tropical climate. For the best experience we recommend colder months (June-August) when it's not raining much and the weather is just beautiful :)

how the bedroom is at the front door, slightly poor water pressure
Thank you Makenzie for sharing your experience with us:) Yes, there are two entrances to the apartment. One from the garden to the living room and one from the carpark to one of the bedrooms. We will definitely advise the body corporate about the water pressure, hope they'll be able to adjust it.

Verified reviewThe location and the laundry facility. Sweet kitchen and garden!
Would have much better first impression if entering from the garden rather than the bedroom. Feel better after get use to the layout. Can hear noisy neighbours as the flat is not that solid, but still manageable.
