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 hotel has obviously been refurbished with some facilities being a little dated, elevators, hallways and pool but it wasn’t a problem.
Rooms were modern and aircon worked very well! Rooftop bar was a vibe.

South KoreaWhen I checked in, the hotel staff assigned me a room above the club on the 1st and 2nd floors, so it was so noisy until dawn that I had a hard time sleeping.
Amazing breakfast!!! delicious meal and lots of portions. Location is the best. The location is great and convenient to wherever you go on the Gold Coast.

AustraliaWas told by reception our 5 rooms were ready but as it wasn't 3pm (it was 11:30) they wanted $50 per room to access the rooms, receptionist told us she hated this policy but its forced on them. Felt it was slightly ridiculous considering the rooms were ready and we was only throwing the bags in. Sums the hotel up, its 3* but popular due to its location and lively bar so they can do what they want so the service level is lacking.
Decent room, good location, lively bar, fairly priced food and drinks.

GermanyBar closed too soon (20:30?) and we were thrown out the back door, having to walk around to get to our rooms. That was weird and done in a rude way. Rest was great.

AustraliaNothing. We loved it so much that we have booked to come again in a few months time! The location is brilliant! Only bad thing we experienced on this trip was the rainy and damp weather which is no fault of the hotels!
We booked this accommodation 30 minutes before arriving due to our other hotel cancelling on us when we got there with no prior-communication. We are so glad that they did because we LOVED our stay at The Island and have booked again to come for 2 nights in May. The location is perfect, staff were friendly, hotel decor was very clean, modern and fancy. The bar and diner was wonderful and the food was lovely. We paid $100 for 2 alcoholic beverages, 2 starters, 2 MASSIVE mains and 2 kids meals. Good value for money. Staff were willing to go above and beyond to accommodate our two small children who struggled to sit still at the dinner table. The pool area was lovely. Bedroom and ensuite bathroom were beautiful and very clean.

AustraliaEvery staff member that we interacted with was lovely. We did however witness one of the male staff undermining one of the managers at the rooftop bar and it was quite hard not to hear it and not to feel sorry for her. The manager walked away very upset while the staff member continued to bash her behind her back. Didn’t think this was the sort of culture that the hotel is providing for its staff.
Greeted by all staff with friendly smiles and they were all very helpful. Everything about the hotel was clean and a great holiday vibe. Our room was clean, great set up and bathroom clean and spacious for a hotel. Great value for money.
