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.).

United KingdomCustomer service required a phone call to an office which cost me on my UK phone. The washing machine wasnt working but the service person fixed it (needed water taps turning on). It was a little shabby.
Soundproofed (lots of construction nearby - couldnt hear it). Well kitted out. Spacious

AustraliaOur bathroom light was highly flickering, it would be on for a few minutes then it would turn off and flicker etc. we stayed in room 2501. Also the safe wasn’t opening, the pillows were uncomfortable, good enough for a couple days but the bed was two singles connected so it had a gap in the middle which was hard, then one of the blinds in the bedroom was installed backwards so it let in a lot of light during the morning, had to put stuff up against it to keep it dark (I suffer with migraines from light) Considering it was a one bedroom high rise suite but it had a connecting bed rather than a normal double one was quite disappointing. Also couldn’t use the dishwasher as the way it’s been installed you can’t open it probably without popping the door off. One of the keycards were left in the room before we arrived and was snapped so couldn’t use that either
Always stay at the Ruby, has basic necessities and good location still quiet and away from everything but close enough to walk everywhere

AustraliaUnfortunately the room 1409 was in need of maintenance & repairs. Ten minutes into checking in, we discovered a teared roller blind, broken clothes drying rack, unscrewed toilet paper holder, loose/detaching towel railing and damaged knob on the shower handle. The property manager was quick to replace the clothes drying rack only. The cutlery provided was below satisfactory standard lacking food storage containers and decent steak knife's which were blunt and did not cut food effectively. We have booked previously with Ruby so we have our previous experience to compare and this time it was not as good as the first time.
At Level 14 the room had beautiful view of surfers paradise and beach to the east and nerang river to west (sunset was great!). We also enjoyed the facilities provided being a pool and sauna. The distance to both tram stations being cypress and north surfers made it easy to get around. Additionally public bus 704 was within range to travel. 7 eleven was just around the corner and if you didn't want to catch public transport it is at distant to walk to main surfers for coles and woolies and eateries.

United KingdomLack of kitchen equipment to cook and prepare meals. Just 1 pan and sauce pan. No strainer. Kitchen cupboards are to high. I cut my leg badly on the first evening trying to get glasses and cup, from them.
Location was very good close to both beaches, and shops and entertainment. Build security very good, and very nice reception staff.

AustraliaNot having the management company that I booked through on site is a real pain. The on-line check-in was very painful for someone that is not particularly smart phone literate. An older person without access to, and good knowledge of, how to work a computer or smart phone would simply not have been able to complete the online check-in, leaving them with no place to stay and nobody on site to sort out their issues. The company I booked with is based in Melbourne and while somewhat helpful on the phone, there is no substitute for an on-site presence. This is a real detractor for those that aren't technical wizzes, and I would not book with this company again as it was way too painful to sort out an on-line check-in the day before I travelled with no access to a computer.
Despite several poor reviews, the unit was clean, tidy and comfortable. The air-conditioning was spot on, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms well maintained. Views to the north, east and west from the balcony were excellent.
