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.).

AustraliaI love that it definitely felt more like a resort than a hotel. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and all the ammenities were great too. I like that you can order food and drinks from the poolside as well as the rooms. I’ll definitely stay here again.

AustraliaDidn't realise there was a rooftop bar, on a Saturday night. Rooms are NOT soundproof, and bar is open until about midnight, so if you're a light sleeper, this perhaps isn't the hotel for you. Note that the noise from the street etc was pretty minimal. The comfort, location, and breakfast balanced out the bar noise.
Rooms were well appointed, with comfortable beds. Shower was AMAZING, as were the calibre of the shower toiletries. There was plenty of room to sit at the bench in the room and work as necessary. View from the verandah was nice as well, ocean could be seen quite easily. Breakfast downstairs in the morning (not included - happy to pay though) was fantastic! Compliments to the chef, who made one of the best eggs benny ever. Hotel was central to Cavill Mall. Pool was really pretty (and freezing), at least the outdoor spa was warm!

AustraliaA little noisy being in the heart of Gold Coast. Unfortunately, you can hear a lot of what goes on outside, But if you are a deep sleeper like my boyfriend, then this just wouldn't class as an issue. I am a lighter sleeper, yet still feel overall content with our stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed at The Island Gold Coast after a road trip from Sydney heading back to Brisbane. When booking the room in the car, I loved the pictures and the vibes and went with my gut and booked! I put in the comments section that my boyfriend had come all the way from Finland to visit me here in Australia and that we were looking to have the best last evening together and The Island staff went above and beyond for us. We booked a basic room and were upgraded to a suit on the 11th floor. We had the best view in the hotel from our balcony and overall this gave us the best experience. We hadn't had the best of luck with our rooms in previous hotels but we were together so we tried to not let that bother us. This upgrade and the quality of the room and the generosity of the staff really boosted our spirits allowing us to be the best version of ourselves that night and we look forward to visiting Gold Coast again and staying here at the Island hotel. Also, the food downstairs was delicious! Also LOVED the salon quality soaps and shampoo in the shower! Perfect after a swim in the ocean. Location is fantastic, you can see the ocean from your balcony.

AustraliaOnly has 1 pool and looks like they don’t clean the pool at all. The water is very cloudy. So much glass cups and left trash around the area. No one cleaned overnight.
We like the location as it is close to surfers beach, shops, restaurants.

AustraliaIts a little dated and hasn’t dragged itself out of the eighties just yet, but sometimes I feel like I’m stuck in the eighties, so we are like kindred spirits.
Great location and value for money. It’s a little dated but if you pretend you’re starring in an episode of Miami Vice it makes it all worth while.
