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.).

AustraliaThe apartment was adjacent to a very road which was not a problem however, the road noise and sirens were extremely noisy which restricted the use of the balcony. The noise filtered inside with balcony door closed as well.
Location was good except for one thing. View was good. The apartment was very clean with followed cleaning service.

AustraliaIt hadn't been cleaned properly, the door to the laundry wouldn't open properly, and one of the dining chairs was very wobbly. Also, the king-size bed was 2 singles put together without a topper, so it wasn't as comfortable as it should be
It was quite comfortable and the location by the river was nice

Beautiful location Comfortable bed a shame the air-conditioner and shower had problems. Would it be worth the coat of money if everything was in working condition, disappointing it was not. But would definitely stay again. Staff were rather rude at check in not friendly at all.

AustraliaIts 20 mins from train station and airport so hard without a car.
As this is out of the city by 20 mins we chose this for the proximity for the dragon boat club. Lovely the walking path along the river and the river view. Not too far to the shops . Nice size apartment with dishwasher and washing machine and dryer. Loved the balcony and because we had a corner room on top floor you could leave the door open. Lots of traffic noise particularly hoons and sirens but didnt notice it once got to sleep in comfy bed.

AustraliaThe drains smelt, stinking out the bathroom. The dishwasher wasn’t clean and also stink out the room after opening it. The beds weren’t comfortable very hard. The pillows were very thin. The master bed was 2 singles put together, giving a hump in the middle. They don’t use a quilt cover, they just put sheets over the quilt. The quilts look very old and discoloured. We moved the single beds to give more room in their and under the beds was gross, full of fluff and dust and other persons odd sock. Clearly not cleaned under there in some time.
The location was great. It’s close to hockey fields and everything you need is close by.

AustraliaInstructions for late-check in were not emailed even after contacting them on phone. Brief instructions were sent on SMS and detailed instruction were in the safe. I had to call emergency contact on arrival. Not impressed with late check out options. They extended my checkout time to 11 am without any charge. They said they would charge 50$ extra for checking out at 12pm and a whole night fee if checking out at 2pm.
Apartment was clean Kitchen was well equipped Bed was comfortable Large balcony with nice view of river Nearby lagoon pools which was quite nice Shopping mall and fast food restaurants close by.

Australiathat it was non smoking even on the room balcony and I had to go very far to do so. What made it even more difficult was the fact that it didn't stop raining the entire time. And there was a designated smoking area under cover. Also there were no exhaust fans in both bathrooms so the humidity made showering so uncomfortable for us all.
the location was perfect! the beautiful lawns and river views. We were close to everything we needed.
