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.).

Verified reviewBeing close to everything
No internet whole time. Bedroom aircon did not work for a week. Beds were uncomfortable. Second shower was no good. Was not enough couch for four people. Was not what pictures say and was definitely not worth the money we paid.

Verified reviewThe unit itself was all good, we had a bit of trouble getting into the front door, perhaps that was my fault maybe I didn’t read the instructions correctly, it was central to everything so that was ok. I never slept at all was very noisy outside which dampened the whole experience.

Verified reviewLocation was good. Didn't know about breakfast. Cleaners who met us with the key were very helpful and polite.
Lounge was dirty. we found something to cover it. Air conditioner in one bedroom leaked very badly all over the floor. we messaged but no one attended. Had to use towels to avoid slipping. One towel was threadbare and frayed. Towels were hard. Pillows (not the linen) were badly soiled. Key collection was a nightmare. Service station couldn't get code to work. Cost extra $30 for taxi fare waiting for code. Then had to meet cleaners for key instead. Very nice people who showed us the way in. Details were texted to mobile and too small to read.

Verified reviewLocation was fabulous. When we needed to call for assistance the staff who answered were terrific. I have forwarded an email and spoken with the owner re a few small pointers to assist people in the future. We would certainly use Katara if in Darwin again. Location location!!
Some extra seating for the dining table as it is a 2 bedroom apartment it would be nice to have 4 dinning chairs not just 2. A broom and brush and shovel would be handy to sweep the floors. Also the intercom system in the building was not working properly. Also due to there being 2 couples in the 2 bedroom apartment 2 sets of keys would have been nice.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect. Apartment was very secure. Had nearly all the facilities required. Plenty of room.
Aircon systems need upgrading. The TV sound is very poor and echoes badly. One of the fans doesn't work. No hairdryer.
