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.).

AustraliaThat my holiday had to end
The location is second to none. We wanted to be close to the beach and feel the wind off the waves and not be stuck high up in a tower. The facilities are all well maintained and accessible. I will never forget the sunrise I saw from my little table on the balcony. Amazing

Australiathe hardness of the lounge and bed, similar to lying sitting on rocks. There were ocean/ beach views, but the way the lounge was situated you couldn’t see it, so I moved it so you could. the 2 shower stalls were old fashioned, you had to step up and over a brick step in the ensuite, and in the other it was almost 40cm high. not really suitable for elderly people. the cupboard doors the kitchen were a mismatch, ie didn’t fit together. the unit was a mix between 70’s and 80’s

This is right on the beach, views of ocean fabulous. Apartment very clean and spacious. Easy walk on the beach to Burleigh Heads or Broadbeach. Local shops and cafes were great, no need to venture too far if you don’t want to. So lovely to sit and relax and watch the ocean. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay again.

AustraliaCleaning was not 100% - my 2 year old found a nail file and pill box within an hour of being at the property and the aircon units were very very dusty.
Great location, two doors from the surf club and a good child friendly cafe and walking distance from plenty more stores. Very quiet location and perfect on the beach. Very comfy beds. Nice spacious unit, great for families. Hospitality of check in team was really good too. Would stay again in a beachfront unit.

AustraliaThe apartment is very basic. Everything needs renovation. It is fairly uncomfortable and not very clean. The hairdryer was cheap and covered in a white film which looked like dry shampoo. There is no coffee machine. The furniture is uncomfortable and they didn't even supply shower gel, just a tiny soap. The windows looked dirty. Beautiful view from the balcony but the outdoor furniture was so uncomfortable. There were no lamps in the living area just the bright spots. It's fine if you're happy with a beautiful view and beach access but the accommodation is nothing special at all. It's a classic example of not making an effort because they don't have to due to desirable location.
The view and location is fantastic. It has beach access and is a quiet beach.

AustraliaThe apartment we stayed in was not clean. We had to clean it ourselves. The shower screen was falling apart, and both bathrooms did not have ventilation/fan. No air-conditioning. There are no fly screens on Windows. I'm not going to stay here again.
It was near the beach. And close to shops and surfers paradise.
