Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaOverall the hotel is a bit dated, the pool facilities definitely need an upgrade but at least it was heated.
The views and location were great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Buffet breakfast was pretty good.

Australia- Some mould in bathroom - Toilet seat broken (but fixed very quickly) - Ocean view room had an ocean view only if on the balcony and facing right, it was more a surfers paradise strip view which wasn't bad but not really ocean view room in my opinion - Pancake machine broke during breakfast which was a little disappointing (staff were doing their best to fix it however didn't manage to while we were there)
Great location, staff very friendly and helpful, beds and pillows very comfortable, room clean!

AustraliaThe only minor downfall was the noise from the night-life. The doors provided around 90% of noise restriction but it still echoed through the bedroom. Other then that it was a perfect stay right in the heart of surfers paradise.
The beds and the pillows were so comfy, the kids and I loved staying here and would stay again. Staff were just amazing. Easy walking distance to Surfers and everything Gold Coast so parking the car and walking was the way to go.

AustraliaWe were told we had a refurbished room. Bath was very old. Big chips in the enamel and white paint used to cover it. Germs in it. The room next door was smoking dope. We were told we had an ocean facing room. Not on the 6th floor! We saw the pool which was noisey with kids and late people using it.
The location was great.

AustraliaThe heating in the room did not work. The lack of a dining restaurant for dinner was disappointing and the racket and rudeness of the tour groups was really not a good look for your hotel.
The breakfast was great with a lot of choice and great atmosphere. The meal served in the cafe was also very good

AustraliaThe elevators are very slow. The food at breakfast was nice and had a good variety however the eggs, bacon, sausages etc were a bit cold unfortunately
Rooms were nice and comfortable, good beds. The hotel is great for group/family booking - there was 12 of us - and the property is in a very handy location, close to everything and good if you have young adults staying with you venturing out to enjoy the clubs etc as it is located with walking distance. Had a nice little cafe/bar area in the lobby.

AustraliaThe floor in my room is not very clean. I still can see dust and hair. The tap is not friendly for kids to be reached.
The location is really good, walking distance to the beach and fabulous food. My room is wide and has sufficient room for family stay. The staff is friendly, especially Michael who greeted me on my arrival and help me get my luggage to my room, introduced the surrounding attractions and other useful information.
