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):
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.).

AustraliaThere was not a lot of information about the resort or the facilities available - for instance, there is a laundry there that weren’t advised of. It would have been great to know to be able to do some washing whilst staying here.

AustraliaI can’t fault anything at this point.
Even though it’s just an overnight stay, we felt like we’re treated as guests staying for a week. Transport, comfort, and atmosphere made our bachelor weekend a success. Our interactions with staff were just phenomenal, natural, and not scripted.

United KingdomThe chaotic nature of breakfast. You couldn't turn round without a small child running into you when you were carrying hot food and drinks.
Our room was spacious and well equipped. It had a small balcony with fabulous views over the ocean and the lagoon. Generally the staff in the hotel were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaWe had a truly exceptional experience at JW Marriot Gold Coast Resort and Spa. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top notch. The staff were warm, attentive and went out of their way to ensure every need was met. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed and immaculately clean offering the perfect blend of comfort and luxury with a breathtaking view from the balcony. Waking up to a panoramic view of high-rise buildings of gold coast along with a view of sea was an unforgettable and mesmerizing experience and added extra layer of relaxation to our stay. The amenities were outstanding with elegant and relaxing ambiance making it an ideal place for both business and leisure stays. Highly recommend JW Marriot Gold Coast Resort and Spa to anyone looking for a luxurious and seamless stay. I look forward to returning!

AustraliaThese are very minor complaints, as we really did enjoy our stay. I feel the food in the main bar can get a bit boring quite quick if you're staying for a few days. It's decent, but the menu is not extensive, and can feel quite heavy. There was construction on site while we were there, which made the lagoon time a bit less relaxing than we'd hoped. Finally the sports outdoor area is looking pretty tired. Tennis court was out of action, and the other area could do with some love too.
Really enjoyable school holiday break. The hotel was extremely busy, but still managed feel quite comfortable. There were always plenty of deck-chairs available by the lagoon, we rarely had to wait around for busy lifts during the breakfast rush, and even the occasional queue for the breakfast was handled very well. Rooms are impeccable, and the staff are excellent across the board.
