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.).

New ZealandShower over the bath leaked water in all directions making it hard to keep clean clothes and towel dry. House keeping were rushed off their feet that they didn't replace our dirty towels. Hotel was fully booked making it a lengthy wait at times for the lifts
Excellent location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Novotel doesn't have their own parking but parking is available under the shopping centre next door which has direct access to the novotel and at a special rate. Buffet breakfast was great! The room was comfortable with much needed aircon

Hong KongVery noisy. Difficult to sleep at night as the noisy are quite high even at night. The room don't have enough table for putting things. I would expect there is at least one study desk. The ventilation in the toilet is too weak. The air-conditioning is too weak. The room is a bit hot.
Convenient. Everything just at your doorstep.

AustraliaBeing an old building some parts of it can't really be renovated. The balcony door was a bit hard to use is my only dislike due to its age.
The location was the best part as you can walk everywhere in the heart of surfers paradise. Rooms are renovated and fresh Staff are friendly and helpful.

AustraliaNot enough hook or hanger for hanging wet clothes. We have 2 adults and 2 kids, going to beach, pool and wetnWild in different day. We needed to hang 4 set of clothes and bather for air dry. We used all the chairs and coffee table in the room for handing the clothes.
It locates near the shopping and dinning place. The room is clean and the bed is very comfy. My room is beach facing which is a very nice view. Hotel has the "Go Green" which help to save energy and save us some money for food.

AustraliaWe would go out during the day and had the “refresh our room” sign on the door. 4/5 days by the time we got back to the room in the late afternoon our room still hadn’t been cleaned which was disappointing - even at nearly 5pm our room wasn’t refreshed.
The bed and pillows were super comfy - usually you get one or the other but this location has both! Breakfast was good and location was great.

AustraliaWe booked a family room but upon arrival we were Informed that the room wasn't available. We got upgraded to an executive room and was advised that the room had access to a free mini bar. This consisted of 2 local beers a small bottle of water and a kit kat. Not what you would expect from a mini bar. The carpet was soaked and smelled of mould.
The lady at reception was very friendly

AustraliaThe room wasn’t quite clean: staffs forgot to empty bin with no liners, forgot to wash the tea cups, floor was new but didn’t get vacuumed probably: full of dust under the bed when I was accidentally picking up the lids of my cream jar that dropped under there. Telephone is quite old. Lifts took a long time to wait. Room does recommend helping sustainable but no bags for rubbish bin for utensils use are quite inconvenient as we don’t wanna make mess in bin directly by putting any rubbish there. We did offer change the rubbish to bag as staffs can see the bin was dirty by directly putting rubbish in after empty out. It didn’t look hygiene without having a rubbish bag for minimal hygiene utensil use.
The location is very good and next to all the shops, walk to beach and restaurants. Staffs are very friendly and accommodating.

AustraliaThe room is definitely not worth the money ($522.50 per night). 2 beds and a tiny bathroom with no kitchen appliances. It had a dirty ketel, spoons and cups. This room needs to have at least a microwave or even plates and cutlery at the minimum. Rip off, i feel scammed.
Amazing location and nice pool. Really close to the beach and cav ave.
