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.).

AustraliaAir conditioning was poor and did little to cool the room. There was no warm bedding, only a thin throw blanket. Beds were uncomfortable. The iron was broken. Rips in curtains. Having to wash up own cups in the bathroom sink makes me wonder how clean they were from previous guests. I would expect a professional cleaner to deal with a hotel room and not expect guests to clean it. Everything was old and needs a facelift, especially the bathroom and grout. There was no fan in bathroom. The WiFi was continually cutting out or freezing. The door to adjoining room was unlocked and not able to be locked from our side which posed a security risk. Being told that the owners were in the other apartment and not to worry about it did not settle my nerves. I wanted to change the dates a month before travel, as my husband was still going to be away on deployment however the letting agent would not allow this and so I had to go or lose the entire letting fee. The location of the office to collect keys from was not convenient and not easily walkable with baggage. Also having to drop the keys off to their office when leaving was inconvenient. I will be certain to only book direct through the hotel next time as my parents came to stay for one night and they had zero issues with their stay. Their room was nicely presented with working amenities, comfy beds, and no ripped curtains or dirty grout. They also had proper shampoo and conditioner, which we did not.
Location was good. View of ocean was nice.

New ZealandWhere do i start! fridge didn't go we lost all our food, microwave didn't go, washing machine didn't work properly, the house was dusty and there was food scraps in the cupboard. hot water was out for 24 hrs, the spa was also out for 24 hrs, the fire door didn't close properly which was a major safely issue in our second bedroom where our 4 children were staying. the air con was low and didn't go very good, the room above us when they would shower late at night it was extremely loud right above our bedroom. NO PARKING ON SITE had to walk for 10-15 mins most days to park on the street. For the high price it was absolutely terrible! this is an air bnb inside of a hotel that they dont manage. no beach towels and the hotel wouldn't give us any as the booking was through the air bnb not the hotel. kids had a great time running water all through the lobby :P
Honestly the only thing that was enjoyable was the pool- everything else was a nightmare and one of the worst hotel stays we have ever had. Would have been far better if the keys were at the hotel not down the road out of a lock box not even located at the location.

AustraliaBalcony Door was half broken, no cleaning supplies, no new fresh towels provided at all. minimal facilities, tiny rooms, I understand that it is for 7 people but would be better if rooms were bigger. Mantra legends facilities were ok but nothing spectacular.
It was a good location, buffet breakfast was good, should've got it included in the package. Um, not too sure what else was above expectations, everything was pretty standard, best thing about the room was the price.

AustraliaWiFi was useless, there were ants in the room, nothing available to clean cups and cutlery in the room. Air-conditioning also didn't work well at all. Based on the website photos and description it was hard to know what the room set up was going to be, if there was going to he a kitchenette or not. The room name it said I booked didn't match any room names ok the website. No face washer
Location was great, the room was clean when I arrived.

AustraliaWe booked via a letting agency and as such did not deal with reception. The letting agency policy for key pick up was arduous after hours and somewhat unsafe to be honest (selfie pic with credit card and drivers license?) Our joint rooms were fairly run down. The dishwasher wasn’t working and this had not been on the booking. Both fridges were broken. One obviously so. The other we only found our about the next morning. The letting agency did replace within a few hours though. Cleanliness wasn’t amazing. Hairs in bathroom. A few cockroaches. Balcony doors very hard to open. Chipboard in bathrooms bulging. They were very strict about the need for everything to be washed up and put away (despite no dishwasher) but no dishcloth was provided. Needed to use washer from bathroom. Rubbish needed to be removed but no rubbish chute on our floor. Needed to take it to the car park basement. Just not what you expect for the price really.
The location of the hotel was excellent. Central to everything and only 100m from the beach. Pool, spa and gym facilities were excellent. Clean and plenty of chairs for all. Bar made nice cocktails although the order by the pool option wasn’t working. Plenty of lifts.

AustraliaFridge in main unit didn't work, baby cockroaches found in unit, sliding door to verandah difficult to open. Older units which could really do with an upgrade. No carpark means extra expenses of $35 for 3 days at nearby public carpark. Due to units being privately owned and rented out means reception staff at Legends are not overly helpful with answering questions.
Great location in Surfers Paradise, very close to beach and Cavill Ave. Price was great. Lovely breakfast offered in Hotel restaurant which is reasonably priced.

New ZealandDidn't actually deal with hotel .... AFTER booking and paying I get a text to say you have to pick up keys and fill in paperwork with bond at another location... after we did that and arrived at accommodation we then get another message listing that we clean down room and remove rubbish before we leave or that gets taken out of our bond..... we were there for a week and had to request extra towels as we had 2 to last us the whole week and no linen change or make up service ... this is just basically an air bnb but in a hotel without using the hotel niceties such as room service, car park, linen and towel change and cleaning services .... which would have been fine if we were aware of that before we paid and then we wouldn't have booked. The advertisement sells you the hotel and you realize the rest of the stuff later
