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.).

United StatesSome areas of our hotel room didn't seem completely clean. The gym was a little disappointing. Some areas of the facilities looked like they had significant wear and needed repairs and maintenance. However, most of the property seemed very nice.
They acknowledged our anniversary and provided complimentary wine, dessert, and parking. It was a nice gesture that made us feel like we weren't being nickeled and dimed and set a positive tone for our stay.

AustraliaWould like to see a couple of adult levels only. While we were travelling with grandchildren and their parents they were on another level which was fine but what spoilt it was kids running up and down the hallway ringing other peoples room bells and yelling at each other at 630am while waiting to go down to breakfast. Not the hotels fault
Staff so friendly and helpfull. Like service used to be . They were outstanding with the small children Fantastic breakfast. Very comfortable rooms that were cleaned well everyday

AustraliaThe location is a bit far from the beach. Car parking is not free and you need to pay $24 per day. I was also told booking via booking.com is not eligible for Marriott Bonvoy points, which is disappointing.
Best thing of JW Marriott Gold Coast is the no doubt the pools, both my 10 year old and 14 year old love the pools. My 70+ year old parents also enjoyed the pools. Beds are comfy. We're grateful that the two rooms are just opposite and one room was upgraded to an ocean view room. Breakfast is great.

AustraliaIf you just wanted a light sandwich or salad for lunch, there was nowhere to go. I just wanted a light healthy dinner sometimes, but all the meals are big and expensive too. The seafood buffet is very expensive - at $140 per person we couldn't afford this for a family of four. But many very rich people stay at this hotel, so I guess no issue for them. In the room there was nowhere to hang things! Only two hooks for towels (we had two teens in the room also) and nowhere to hang wet bathers etc. A line across the bath would have been good.
So luxurious! Fantastic Pool and lagoon with many different areas. Spacious. Excellent breakfast buffet. Beautiful quiet and stylish rooms. Staff were amazing.

AustraliaThe rooms are tiny. Even if you book a double room to fit 4 people, it is still a double bed with limited walking space. Roll out beds only offered for a King Suite, which means 1 king bed and a roll away bed at additional cost.
The pool is what keeps us coming back. Sandy lagoon, lazy river, slide, and other pools plus a waterfall. Bar access right in the centre. Seafood and breakfast buffet was beautiful. The new games arcade with movie nights was a hit with the kids.
