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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaCould be cleaner. Front desk staff could be nicer. Vanessa was lovely. Housekeeping was great.
Conveniently located on the pier and close to many restaurants. The room and hotel was nice but this Shangri-La isn’t like the others I’ve stayed at, not as premium as you’d expect. Not as tidy, foyer isn’t as welcoming, awnings are dirty, etc. Still, the hotel and room was pleasant for our group with kiddies and grandparents. Kiddie pool is great height.

AustraliaThe bathroom could do with renovating as it has a shower in a high sided bath which was difficult to get in & out of as an older person. Also the shower head was very small. Parts of the decking around the pool area was warped & it was very hot to walk on without shoes. We were also very unhappy with having to pay upfront a $100 per night security fee ($600 in total) which was deducted on arrival and not refunded to our account until 5 business days later....unsatisfactory.
We stayed in the executive suite and there was a lovely balcony that overlooked to Marina. Spacious sized room with a very comfy king size bed Lovely sized pool with lots of comfy sun lounge chairs and the pool was not hidden in shade by the surrounding buildings (unlike some other resorts). Great location if you plan to do a boating trip. Lots of restaurants nearby.

AustraliaMaybe could have been some more umbrellas around the pool, but minor problem, I’m sure they would have got more if asked.
The location is fabulous. The hotel itself is filled with friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. It is clean, well resourced and well thought out. The chamber staff spent a great deal of time in each room, which could only mean attention to detail. The rooms were spacious and the quality of bedding, towels and robes were luxurious, we really felt very spoilt. The view from our room was spectacular, very surreal and had an enormous WoW factor.

Location was so convenient, close to all major activities in Cairns. If you’re looking into reef tours, the location can’t be better. Breakfast was also great, especially the egg dishes made on order. Wonderful breakfast to start the day. Staffs were also professional, and very helpful. The tour desk was exceptionally helpful in making my trips easier rather than trying to book it myself. Would definitely recommend!

United StatesFor someone who drinks a lot of coffee, the coffee shop was hit or miss depending on what time of day you head down to it.
Located right in the center of Cairns on the water. We got a great value for the stay and our Great Barrier Reef Tour location was right across the parking lot and a nice developed walk area down by the water.

Australiathis relates to the shopping mall not the hotel, it is only 50% occupied
The Location is fantastic, numerous choices of restaurants attached to the complex, close to boardwalk and other areas to walk and just a short walk to the city centre. The room was great, air cond worked well and lots of room. Lastly and most importantly the Team are awesome, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
