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.).

The traffic noise was loud and present for most hours of the day.
The manager was capable and helpful. She set us up with a customized, half-day taxi ride to the highlands. There is a modern, inexpensive cafe across the street. Hot water in an immaculate bathroom. They willingly stored our luggage.

Our room faced the back- not as nice as some other rooms.
The location is great- we liked being in this part of town. Best coffee across the street, vegan food nearby, easy walk to the center of town, close to dive shop we used (Scuba Iguana). The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I bought a pineapple and needed to cut it up the day we left- they helped me do it quickly and gave me a bag to put the pieces in. It was nice to have a small kitchen with a table and a sofa. I would stay there again!

Everything was great for me. I would have loved if I had time to stay longer. There aren't rooms with sea view, but the terrace and rooftop views are nice.
I had a truly enjoyable stay at Ocean Dreams. The hotel is in a good, quiet location about 15 minutes walk to the port. I had a route that passed by pretty flowers and was very pleasant. The hotel is 4 floors and is quite nice and modern, as well as exceptionally clean. The included breakfast was excellent. Staff were kind and helpful, especially the owner was very nice. My room was large, clean, and comfortable. I had a great bed, nice tv, wardrobe and table, and the bathroom was very adequate. There were clean water stations on each floor of the hotel. There is a sea view from the terrace of the top floor which is very pretty. Overall highly recommend and I would stay again.

The breakfast is - like everywhere here - pretty sweet. Besides the scrambled eggs everything else is sweet (croissant, fruits, jam). We are more on the healthy side so this was not a perfect fit for us. But again: this is the standard here. At least we got a little bit of cheese after asking ;-)
The owner is incredibly nice and helpful, even with very basic English skills she makes everything work. She takes care of you and any requests you might have. The tour and taxi she organised was very good and cheap as well. The hotel is nicely located with like 5 minutes to the sea and 10 minutes to Darwin center (no need to go there). The air conditioning works, the water pressure is okay (it's excellent in some rooms), the whole hotel is clean - so I can recommend Oceans Dreams absolutely and without any doubts. I can't emphasize enough how likeable and nice and heartwarming the owner is. Being there didn't feel like business but more like family.

Lovely room on the roof terrace, the whole place kept spotlessly clean.

Our seaview room had all of the air conditioning fans in the terrace attached to it making it impossible to sleep with the noise. But the staff immediately changed us to another room once we complained and it was much bigger and better.
Central, clean, good breakfast.
