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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwitzerlandThe location is very central in Kingscote, just 1-2 blocks from the coast. The owner was very engaged and responsive. All was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen and fast WiFi. Nespresso coffee machine made my day, some free capsules were provided. And to top it off, the laundry machine helped us a lot! The owner even gave us some medical tips re: child physician when daughter fell ill. Thank you Genny for everything ❤️

United StatesThe apt is very dated and needs updating. The dryer did not work which was disappointing as we wanted to do laundry. There were no beach towels (supposed to bring our own??) - we were traveling from USA and had limited luggage.
The location was right in Kingscote where we wanted to be. The apt was available which was good as we booked last minute. It was clean, had a place for the car. The kitchen was well stocked with plates etc. Appreciated the there was coffee and milk available when we arrived. The owner was responsive when we had questions and wanted us to be comfortable.

SwitzerlandSome few spots could have been little more cleaner. But we felt comfortable and the apartment was spacious. Nice big bathroom with washing machine + best: a separate toilet (comes in handy if you are 4 people).
We appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine with capsules. The fact that there was washing liquid was a wonderful gesture. Loads of space for the car to park. Nice little terrace. Supermarket and sea front is in walkable distance.

AustraliaThe shutters on the outside of the bedroom windows rattle in the wind and interrupt sleeping. They need adjusting or replacement. Some of the wooden chairs on the patio need to be tightened as they are getting wobbly and will get damaged.
The central location of Salty Air Apartments is fantastic

AustraliaThe whole apartment was incredibly cluttered. I would personally take out all things that do not need to be there. There were things rattling everywhere outside, which made it hard to sleep...but this could have been due to the very strong winds.
We liked the space and the two bedrooms. We liked that we could do a load of washing halfway through our trip. Everything we needed was there.

AustraliaI didn't get sent the access code for the lock box with the keys. I tried ringing the contact person but went through to voice mail. Fortunately, there is a second unit on the site and the couple there who were also on holiday had contact details for another person who I was able to get through to. But if they weren't there, I don't know what we could have done to get in.
The location was central and walkable to shops and the seaside. It was on a hill which gave a great view of the scenery and surroundings. The town of Kingscote is a quite town with friendly locals. The workers in the shops all seemed prepared to stop and have a chat. It makes for a very relaxing time. Kangaroo Island has spectacular scenery with opportunities to spot wildlife. The island is quite large with a relatively small population of about 5000. So if you want a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city life, Kangaroo Island is ideal and Salty Air apartments are an ideal option for accommodation. Travelling aroung Kangaroo Island was very easy. There was hardly any traffic on the roads. The only issue was that there were some delays at some locations where the road workers were repairing roads.

BrazilAccess to unit #1 is not very good, it looks like it is an after thought. Coffee machine continually leaked water on bench top, there was a pool of water on bench under machine when we arrived. Unit had a fireplace but unable to use as had sign on door not to use, if you have a fireplace in unit please make it useable as for our stay it was cold during nights. Rangehood over over was very dirty, oil over the pullout top & bottom, had not been cleaned for some time. Door from main room direct into bathroom could not be opened as carpet in room was too high, cut bottom of door to allow door to open.
Location was very good, short walk to supermarket & town. Coffee shops were great. Wineries were very good.

United KingdomIt was cold and wet for quite a lot of the time and the fireplace was out of order - would have been nice to have used it in the evenings. Bedrooms were a bit chilly, even with the blow heaters supplied to warm the room up before bedtime.
We really enjoyed our three days' stay here. The apartment was very well appointed with everything we needed to cook and do our laundry. Lots of space to spread out and enjoy our evenings, reading and good wifi meant we could spend time catching up on emails from home and work. Walking distance to some good places to eat and the excellent supermarket.

AustraliaWe weren’t aware that mosquitoes are around, so get some knockdown spray.
Salty Air Apt 2 was a good-sized, fully equipped 2 bed apartment. It’s located only about 150m from the main part of Kingscote, the largest settlement on KI, and close to the supermarket, a very good restaurant (Amadio) and the large Ozone hotel. We had a bit of a problem with a broken key in the lock which was fixed expeditiously by the proprietor.
