Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThere is a pool, but not that special. The stairwell was grungy, but I guess most people use the lifts.
There are a lot of places to eat and relax in Cullen Bay, within easy reach of the hotel. There is a great variety of places to eat, a beach to watch the sunset or picnic, even a laundromat and hairdresser. The location is great. The hotel is a little older, but still comfortable and well maintained. The parking was very secure.

AustraliaWe found the price of the room was a bit excessive with the age and condition. There has obviously been water damage in the kitchen as the floor boards were all lifted and is a trip hazard
The view and location of our room was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed being close the the wharf

AustraliaThere were hotplates and a microwave but no oven. Also there were odd numbers of cutlery and not many pots/pans to make a proper meal, although it was fine for breakfasts.
The apartment was quite spacious with a nice balcony. There was a full size fridge as well as washing machine and dryer in the room. Apartments were serviced half way through our 8 night stay. There was good off street parking for my vehicle that was too high for the underground carpark.

AustraliaWe were a bit disappointed when we took plates out of the cupboard and they were dirty. We then realised that the cutlery and glasses also weren't very clean. We ended up having to wash anything before we used it. The washing machine leaked water and the water damage on the kitchen and bathroom kickers taped up with gaffer tape was a bit of an eyesore? Perhaps a manual on how to use the convection/microwave could have been helpful as it took a while to work it out? Did mention to reception that perhaps the cleaners could tick off a checklist when cleaning the apartments as there was no vegetable peeler and limited wine and drinking glasses that perhaps when broken haven't been replaced?
We were happy to be upgraded to a premium room from a standard room and enjoyed the view from all windows and balcony. Loved that we could walk to the foreshore and restaurants and cafes and Woolworths was not far to walk in to the city.

AustraliaThe entire building and our room was a bit dated, although comfortable. It could do with a bit of a facelift, peeling paint on the ceiling needs to be redone. Furniture is a little old and probably could be replaced. Cleaners need to give a little more attention to detail, cleaning fingerprints from key touch points like light switches, doors and door handles etc.
What a great spot! If you want to stay in a quiet, harbourside area, Cullen Bay has a lot to offer. Our room was clean and comfortable. If you want a bit more nightlife and be closer to Darwin city, you'd be best to stay somewhere else as you'll be either driving, calling an Uber or taxi because it's about 15 minutes' drive. But we were very happy with our room and the location of the accommodation. We had a 1-bedroom fully self-contained apartment which suited us perfectly for our trip this time around. Secure under cover parking for our car and walking distance to the local restaurants and bars of Cullen Bay. Would definitely recommend this venue. Room was clean, bed comfy, shower was ok. Ceiling fans in each room which was great!
