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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaHousekeeping could have been a bit better. E.g. no kitchen facilities in room, cleaning/replacing cups and utensils would have been nice. Bathroom very outdated, could do with an upgrade.
Location was great, beds were comfy, views from room were good.

AustraliaFirst night there was a function and hotel restaurant was not staffed properly to keep up with it. The staff were very lovely but there was no sign or telling that there would be over an hour delay in orders which was difficult to manage with young kids and we had to ask several times if our orders were coming? We were only told at the 45 minute mark why there was a delay and we would’ve been happy to order elsewhere for dinner. In saying that the staff were really nice and offered us free refill of our dinner drinks ( soda and juice) . Food was cold when it got to our table.
Close to the beach, clean , lovely staff, room was good size and easy to navigate for us, the door to the balcony was safe to use with young kids.

AustraliaHair drier was literally melted Insufficient entertainment options for kids. Chromecast doesn't work properly. WiFi not fast enough to support streaming services to the TV. Takes forever to set up, works for about 5 minutes then drops out and fails to reconnect. When you have young kids, especially ones that are feeling a bit ill, the in room entertainment really need to be better
The room was very nice. Beds comfy. View was stunning. Breakfast was delicious

My stay was truly remarkable, beginning with the perfect location of the property. Situated in a prime area, it offered easy access to local attractions, dining, and transportation, making it an ideal choice for both sightseeing and relaxation. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, providing a peaceful sanctuary after a day of exploration. However, the highlight of my stay was the exceptional staff. Their warmth, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond made a significant difference. From the seamless check-in process to their helpful recommendations and attentive service, they consistently exceeded expectations and made me feel truly valued as a guest.

AustraliaWifi reception was poor Phone in the room wasn’t working The floors in the room were new but everything else was outdated The balcony is very narrow, the ocean views are not as seamless as there is a building in the front, so you really only get to see the side ocean view The bathroom was clean but there was barely any space to keep any belongings. The bathtub was missing the drainage stopper so couldn’t really enjoy. The room service gave us one, but that didn’t function properly. I had an upset tween as she couldn’t enjoy bath bombs

AustraliaWe booked 3 rooms for our family & requested them to be together or close-they were on different floors! We booked weeks ago. Our room for 2 adults & 1 child had 2 towels & 2 cups?
Location is perfect, Caville Ave is just around the corner. Pool is great. Rooms spacious. Lifts to all floors were fast. Parking was handy & reasonably priced.

AustraliaThe Bathroom was a bit dated for a superior ocean view room. The lighting was poor for make up, the shower screen was on a hinge for some reason and swung open with a God awful creak that could wake the dead. It also didnt lock in the water so the bathroom floor became soaked. The toilet seat also slammed down shut if you didn't slowly lower it and the clatter was like cracking a whip. The facilities are nice just a bit old, considering there are a million places to stay up there. The carpet and furniture smelt a bit like dust. Considering that the Novotel is marketed as a bit up scale, it's disappointing. It was a nice stay, just not a luxurious one. The buffet breakfast was pretty ordinary. The melon was under ripe, the eggs were extra runny and the pastries were not fresh baked.
Right above Cavill Avenue and right in the heart of Surfers Paradise. The location couldn't be better. It's really central to everything and the bed was very comfortable. Parking is $22 a day but you use the shopping mall parking lot next door. Good when you get a spot not far from the carpark elevator, though sometimes you are half a building away. The view was magnificent and the staff were very friendly.
