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.).

AustraliaWasn’t the cleanest on arrival and lacked some extra amenities like broom/vacuum. No spare towels.
Location is great. Has mostly everything you need for a short holiday. Check in/out was easy and independent - didn’t need to see or contact anyone. Complex was quiet.

AustraliaLack of communication from staff upon arrival, although this was quickly resolved. We asked for extra towels but never got a response. The shower door leaked water so our bath mat was soaked after one shower. Would be good to have the basic hand wash essentials. Extra cleaning needed behind bed, wall and bed frame was very dusty

AustraliaDining room chairs are broken, one shape knife in draw is not enough, chipped bowls and plates, fan not working in bathroom to extract shower and dryer. One key to the apartment.
Good location to walk to and from Byron Bay town centre and avoid paying for parking at $5 per hour. The kitchen was good for cooking with a dishwasher. Washing machine and dryer in apartment, bbq facilities, 2nd toilet near bbq area was handy. Lounge converted to a bed. The pool was good. Access to car park from apartment. Security of the whole complex. Very considerate facilities managers with may options to get access to keys on arrival and return key on departure. Air conditioning is great. The complex Wi-Fi signal is great in the apartment with no issues.

New ZealandIf you wanted to stream on TV the internet wasn’t up to it. The security gate on Shirley street was broken so therefore anyone could get in particularly into the garage plus the light at the gate wasn’t working so dark at night coming onto the property. While I understand the complex was reasonable old and we got a great size apartment but it lacked a bit of maintenance. We only had the key to the sliding door that was a bit tricky to open and shut. The single door had no key. Light over the hob didn’t work. The battery in the clock had stopped. Plus the sofa was fairly old and dusty. With a little bit of effort it could have been an outstanding place to stay. Still wouldn’t put me off booking it again.
Close to Town. Large apartment with seperate bedroom, washing machine/ dryer. Comfy bed. Good size bathroom/laundry. Kitchen well equipped except maybe a water jug. Quiet but only because we had a back apartment away from the main road. That’s important.

AustraliaNo microwave, main bedroom was small with little place for suitcase storage or hanging clothes, bathroom shower had no door so bathroom floor in particular in front of the toilet was always wet. We had a van so had to park out on the street and it was very steep and slippery getting up onto the footpath. No accessibility for mobillity impaired.
The beds were very comfortable and clean. The balcony was lovely to have breakfast on, and the TV was large and easy to work.

United KingdomIf we booked again, we would book a poolside apartment as ours overlooked the front of the property and the main road. The bedroom is set back in the layout, so the noise was not too disturbing, but sitting on the balcony was not so relaxing at busy times.
This apartment is handy for the town and beach at Byron Bay. It is well equipped and spacious, has its own pool and BBQ area, plus has secure underground parking on site. We really liked the vibe of Byron Bay and this was a great base from which to enjoy the topwn and explore th surrounding area.

AustraliaThe street noise was terrible. I would definitely book there again but only if I could get an apartment that didn't face directly on to the main road. The traffic never stops.
Great location. The apartment was spotless and very modern. It had everything we needed. Lots of space and good storage, even in the bathroom. It was great to have undercover parking too.
