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 reviewthe location was good
there was a trip hazard at the bathroom door the kitchen facilities were poor, one can not really cook here, no kitchen sink, only one kitchen knife, no cutting board and you are expected to take out your own rubbish when you have enough to deal with your own luggage view over roofs and grafiti was dissapointing
Sorry to hear this. I am guessing you booked the studio by mistake, which is of course much cheaper than the one bedroom apartment. Had you opened a draw you would have found all cutlery, coffee and cooking facilities, toaster, electric fry pan. I cannot change the view from the studio. I can however next time offer you a waterfront apartment, cost is $595 per night. Kind regards, Carolyn.

Verified reviewGood communication. Comfortable, well appointed with kitchenette items. Photos were confusing, they are of two different apartments one large, one small.
Small room for a couple but adequate for an over night stay. Very musty drain smell in bathroom.

Verified reviewWiFi was fast and reliable. Short walk to the marina and a Woolies. Pretty quiet at night. We enjoyed sitting out on the spacious balcony.
The two burner cooktop wasn’t very useful. You couldn’t really use two pans at once.

Verified reviewGreat location, nice apartment well equipped and nice big tv.
The ironing board needs replacing it's old and hard to use it kept collapsing. The kitchen facilities were good but no sink attached you had to use the bathroom sink.
Thank you for letting me know Fay. I will replace the ironing board asap.

Verified reviewGreat location, easy to walk around Cairns, lovely at this time of year. Great unit with everything we wanted and needed. Everything worked well. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Very quiet. Undercover carpark and lift great. First impression on entering unit very good, looked very nice.
We personally don't like a shower without a door, as the water goes everywhere. A lower towel rail in the bathroom would have been helpful.
