How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewManager was really helpful when we asked for anything they helped immediately . Pool and hot spa were very nice. Secure parking was available.
The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom was a wet room which smelted most of the time. There were not many pots and pans in the kitchen

The manager knocked on our door at 9am to remind us that check out is at 10am. We already knew that but to knock on the door to notify us was a bit awkward.

Verified reviewIt was great to have a laundry and full kitchen and ensuite. Free parking also a big bonus and close to everything. Murray was very friendly & helpful and we enjoyed the pool & spa and the barbecue was clean
Very outdated and not very clean. Aircon in 2nd room not working and you could feel the heat in that room even at night with ceiling fan on. Room walls and carpets were dirty. Only 2 toilet rolls, all the beds were rock hard so we barely slept at all. Only a sheet on main bed with no blanket or spare bedding. Not enough dustbin bags provided to get rid of your rubbish, 3rd floor with no lift was a pain! Only 1 small soap in bathroom so we had to buy more for our stay. Cutting knives are blunt and useless. Lounge recliners were broken and double chairs came apart. Overall it looks like there’s no actual cleaners that come in when people leave so you probably rely on how much the previous person cleaned the place.

Verified reviewThe apartment was clean and had all the basics. The pool was lovely, and well maintained. Murray is very friendly and helpful.
This is a very basic apartment. For example, there was no lamp or side table in the 2nd bedroom, no bins in the bathrooms, only blankets and sheets as bedding, no spare bedding, no tea or coffee etc provided (not even one teabag). It was advertised as air conditioned, but only has one unit in the lounge area. It was advertised as having Foxtel, but there was none. Only free to air TV available, and not a smart TV, so couldn't Chromecast, or log in to any paid providers. I had to ask for a tea towel as there was not one provided. The kitchen is stocked, but is as minimal as it could be (e.g. - One wine glass only) You are expected to put your rubbish in the main bin, but no spare bin liners are provided. In short, it is a practical apartment, but none of the comforts I would expect from a Gold Coast holiday let. It is in need of a refurbishment, when this is done, it would be much better. Other apartments in the complex must have been refurbished, judging by the pictures on the website, just not the one I stayed in!

Verified reviewLocation was great and the host was very friendly and helpful. The 2brd apartment was spacious, had its own laundry (washer andd dryer) which was a godsend. The ensuite was great size too. Pool is clean and inviting. TV could sign into Netflix (internet was pretty slow though). Previous guest had stolen the HDMI cable and extension cord for the TV/DVD, Murray the host went and bought new ones for us the next day which was great. It was run-down but for our budget in that area it was still good value. Plenty of places to eat in walking distance, servo across the street came in handy too.
The place is very run down and needs some love put into it. When we first walked into the apartment there was flakes of ceiling on the floor and a dirty towel. Holes in walls, missing skirting boards in kitchen, the oven dials had all worn away so had no idea of settings or temperatures. Minimal kitchen utensils and pans, had to buy our own to cook spaghetti. The air-conditioning in the kids room wasn't working and we were on the top floor so it was pretty uncomfortable in there with just a fan, spoke to the host he said it would cost too much to repair which is the general gist of the complex. Venetian blinds only on the windows so the sunlight coming in at 4-5in the morning is like having a flashlight shone in your face, we purchased eye masks to help, but don't expect to be able to sleep in. There is no elevator, be warned. Master bed was rock hard, I ended up sleeping on a thin single kids mattress we found in a wardrobe on the floor the entire stay as I just couldn't sleep on it. We were also missing a blanket from one of the beds, only a thin sheet so purchased our own to use.
