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 ZealandCould have done with more towels and cloths as we stayed for a week. If not more towels, then more washing powder so we could have washed them more regularly. The fan in the bedroom did not seem to be working to speed, so we had to crank the AC all day to get the room cool enough to sleep in.
The heated pool and spa was beautiful. We had great privacy off of the balcony of our apartment and all windows and doors had bug screens. Working wifi. Staff were super friendly. The apartment was well equipped with lots of things to make our stay easier. The location was excellent, as it is very close to the Broadbeach South public transport station.

GermanyUsing two hands to open doors with a key, it's a little fiddely for old hands.
We liked the ground floor, even with a few steps. Close to the rear gate for easy pick-ups.

TaiwanAnts will go into the apartment. There are two floors in the apartment, but only the living room has air conditioning. It will be a bit stuffy when sleeping at night. It's a pity that there is no lift. Although we already knew that there was no elevator when we made the reservation, we didn't expect that it was on the fourth floor. The key to entering and exiting the community gate is actually not very good, and it takes some practice to open it.
The staff were very friendly and tried to assist with luggage even though there was no elevator. Very close to the tram station and shopping mall. Excellent location. nice laundry and shower.

Marty and Dorelle are excellent hosts at Portobello, always friendly and helpful. The pool is kept clean and the little bit of shade over the pool is welcome. The beach is just a short walk away and Pacific Fair is a short walk.

SwedenNo air con in the bedroom which made it very hot. Our second bedroom was on the upper floor which was too hot even with the fan. Would have been nice to open the windows but there was no mosquito net. Would be really nice on the upper floor but also in the kids bedroom. The kids bedroom had a mosquito net however there was a big hole which made no sense using it. Could have been a bit cleaner, the fans were dirty and the wardrobe and stairs.
Really nice location, calm area but close to the beach and a huge shopping area. Since I’m not a fan of the surfers paradise area this was the best location for relaxation. Best is the pool area! Pool was really nice. Great parking. Nice outdoor at the resort. Nice with laundry. Two bathrooms Nice balcony, we had two.

AustraliaI would have appreciated aircon/a ceiling fan in the bedroom but we did find a pedestal fan in the cupboard that passed muster.
Great value for a money, and super close to the beach. The managers were lovely and very hospitable. The space itself was very nice - I would’ve stayed longer if I could’ve!
