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 reviewApartment could get way too cold. Would have been handy to have some spare blankets in the rooms as it was too cold to sleep sometimes

Verified reviewLoved the location! The hotel facilities were great, we had everything we needed. We will be back! The kids loved the pool and thought it was fun to have the pool noodles to play with
The only complaint is that our room was quite close to the lift and the lift was very noisy especially when people were leaving early in the mornings.

Verified reviewThe apartment complex was lovely, and the apartment great - had everything you wanted, including a nice balcony looking out to the sea. The swimming pool was also very pleasant.
I have stayed in the hotel part of the building and the Internet was great. But hardly worked in this apartment - it didn't spoil our stay at all, as our phone "hotspot" worked well.

Verified reviewGreat location. All services and dozens of ethnic restaurants within 5 blocks. Nice swimming pool. Great view of the park and the sea from the 4th floor, above the palm trees. The apartments are very clean and roomy but feel austere with very little decoration.
The kitchenette in the one-bedroom is small and limited but we were brought additional kitchenware at our request. It took us a couple of days to find the way to adjust the air-conditioner temperature to our liking. Actual temperature control would be helpful. The WiFi was unreliable for communication with family and friends so we bought our own. There is no parking included. We rented one parking stall from the Mantra hotel but the fob giving us access to the parkade didn’t always work. A nightmare as the entrance to the parkade is on a steep incline! Overall, the company running the apartments was very responsive and acted within hours to our requests.. Their staff was very good. Adjoining apartments made it quite comfortable for a longer stay. We stayed for two weeks in late October after the tourist season.

Verified reviewThe location was excellent! Particularly because our apartment was on the ocean side. We met people whose apartment was on the city side and it was very very noisy. Ours in comparison was very quiet with a gorgeous view.
Only issue we had was the shower is over the bath. Not the safest for climbing in and especially out. Grab rails in more pertinent locations would be helpful.

Verified reviewReviewed: 8 September 2023 · Stayed in September 2023
Verified reviewThe location was good - walking distance to Mitchell Street - and view was lovely. However being a front unit - lots of screaming at night heard (from the street below)- and 6.00am Garbage/delivery trucks servicing the streets.
This is actually 2 un-serviced separate apartments (not a 2 bedroom apartment) - and access by 2 separate keyed doors, thereby the sparce living space is small in the main unit - with the one small balcony only accommodating 2 people. Bathroom is tired and desperately requires re-grouting. I would suggest an investment in some quality Latex pillows (pillows were pancakes) - did not see a coffee machine as advertised - (basic coffee/sugar slides with a couple of milk pods in the fridge), toiletries on offer - (just shampoo & conditioner) - ran out of linen over the 5 days, (you were not allowed to wash the linen provided) - no late checkout on offer - and under threat of a fine - had to carry out the garbage from the bins - really expected a little more luxury for the $1793 paid for 5 days - which is was at the top end of accommodation prices (in same area when booked) - so a letdown.

Kitchen, was useless, smoke alarm in the area. Couldn't cook anything as smoke alarm would go off. Someone else set theirs off and building was evacuated. Very poor design, not being able to prepare your own meals. Advertised as apartment but kitchen was very poor.

Verified reviewLocation was excellent, nice roomy apartment and the balcony view was quite wonderful. We had a couple of minor problems whilst we were there but the owner fixed them immediately and when we requested a linen change it was done without a fuss.
It's just a bit of a nuisance to have only enough cutlery, cups and glassware for each person. 4 knives, 4 forks, 4 spoons, 4 plates, etc, etc is a pain to deal with because we were forever having to wash dishes or put the dishwasher through the 30 minute cycle and then having to dry them anyway. Other than that we have no complaints.
