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.).

AustraliaThe check in was a bit confusing with the phone installed near the door not working. There is a large sign with the old / wrong number and a much smaller one with the new / correct number to call if the desk is unattended (which it was)
Fantastic View over the ocean from the balcony. Mountains are visible from the bedroom windows. Short walk to the beach and shops, including supermarkets and restaurants. The flats are a bit old but very well maintained and clean. There were sharp knives in the kitchen and enough cookware to meet all our needs. We cooked most of our meals at home.

Late check-in was easy with good instructions. View was magnificient, front ocean, with the whole side of the apartment facing the sea being glass for spectacular ocean views! The apartment was nicely decorated, beachy vibes. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

United KingdomWhen we visited it was extremely windy and raining hard, which whistled through the windows and sliding doors, but once in our bedrooms for the night with the internal doors shut it wasn't too loud.
Excellent location just off the main esplanade for Surfers Paradise, everything was in walking distance to the apartment. We were on 13th floor, which gave us amazing views of the beach, ocean and the esplanade. We had a large balcony and lots of windows to get loads of natural light and fresh air in to the place. The main living room was large open plan, kitchen with hob, oven, microwave and large fridge freezer, a dining table with 4 chairs and a large sofa and chair. The TV was massive and connected to the streaming services. There were 2 bedrooms, master bedroom had ensuite bathroom and were connected by a smaller balcony, with a washing line/clothes airer. The main bathroom was just off the living area and was a large size. The outdoor pool was heated and looked good, we didn't have enough time to use it. There were plenty of sun loungers also. The beach was a 2 minute walk, there were plenty of lifeguard areas to go swimming in along the beach. We were very unfortunate with the weather and had a lot of strong winds and rain for our time there. Everything was very clean and tidy, we were very impressed with this property.

New ZealandOnly one extra blanket in the twin room. We would have liked one more blanket so both kids could have two blankets on their beds.
Location was excellent and the views from our apartment were wonderful. We had views from all bedrooms and the lounge/kitchen. Loved how clean and organized it was and that we could wash and dry our clothes there. Loved the heated pool and hot spa too. Bonus was the rainbow loriketes that came to our balcony in the mornings.

AustraliaThe fan in the second bedroom was very noisy, so we switched it off. Not able to sleep with it on. The twin beds were very uncomfortable.
Across the road from the beach, the location is amazing! You can smell the fresh ocean air and see glimpses of the ocean from some parts of the resort. Not our room, unfortunately.

AustraliaThe bed had no bed frame and was just mattresses on the floor with a thin sheet for a blanket, the warmer blankets in the cupboard felt itchy, like those blankets your dad had when it was his weekend with you. The main room incited really bad hayfever, and my partner and I would wake up with itchy throats. Upon checkout, we had to throw out our bins and replace the lining with the singular bin bag provided for the four day stay. The bin chute we had to use is very small and we ended up having to take our rubbish home with us as it would not fit.
Location was great! Near the beach, Ripley’s, Timezone, popular fast food areas, locals busking, and stalls. The room had a fantastic view of the beach, sunset looked stunning on the water. The receptionist was super friendly. The lounge was comfortable, the balcony was good, amazing view. The kitchen was cozy and had the basics. We did not use the pool but it looked nice. Parking was available under facilities in a first come first serve basis, but had no real issues locating a park.

AustraliaThe bathrooms are pretty dated and old, the spa tiling needs a redo as is a bit sharp. The air con pipe when it's on drains into the balcony. The car park spaces are teeny tiny.
The location is perfection. If you are on the higher levels you are guaranteed the most amazing view. The lower levels may be blocked by the building in front. The balcony is large and the unit itself is huge. Big lounge/dining area, fair sized kitchen, big bedrooms and fair sized bathrooms. Pool and spa is dated but does the job. The value for money in terms of location has to be one of the best on the coast. The visiting lorikeets are a must see.
