Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaMattress shocking on the sofa bed. Unsleepable with springs sticking out. Main mattress was just average and pillows terrible. But it was cleaner than the Novotel rooms. Buffet breakfast needs some work on consistency. Very hit and miss with fruit and supplies. Overall the restaurants need more variety since the Chinese closed down.
Room was nice enough and beautiful outlook to gardens. Pool nice but spa still broken over 1 year since we were last here. Julian at front desk was exceptional. Some rowdy customers staying causing trouble at night.

AustraliaThe renovations and changes to the reception area (moved to Novotel next door) make a mission out of checking in and out, the pool is in need of aesthetic maintenance but still makes for a nice cool place to enjoy some time.
The bungalow was clean and in a good location for a 2 night 1 day stopover, located close to the airport so convenience was key.

AustraliaMy only concern was that for the pricing of the room , that water even a bottle would have been in fridge upon arrival, it is the tropics after all and standard for most places. For visitors coming to Darwin I feel it is needed . Customer service at reception was good , There was a gentleman at the restaurant/ bar who was great, however the trainee behind bar needs further help with customer service skills , we were asked to leave pool area as it closed at seven which I was unaware of quite rudley, I suggest he works on other alternatives, ie suggest we may like to sit at bar or order drinks in room.
The property was clean and the pool area was excellent, I had the pool villa which was great , it felt very private clean and tidy . We had pizza from room service menu and tried all the desserts which were fabulous, the pizza could have been in oven bit longer however still nice. The next day went and had brunch in the main restaurant, lovely setup and the sandwiches were so good. I live in Darwin was a quick staycation to celebrate birthday, will go back again in the future. .
