Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaI liked the location as the trams were out the front and I could leave the car behind. The internet was awesome never had any trouble streaming movies. The staff were very helpful and very friendly made us feel very welcomed. The rooms were clean and comfortable. In walking distance to Pacific Fair and the beach. Even though the trams were being extended I had no trouble with noise or getting in and out of the area. All you need is your personal belongings so I look forward to being able to stay again.

AustraliaA bit of construction noise through the day from neighbouring buildings but hey it’s holidays get out and enjoy what the Gold Coast has to offer!
The property was in prime location, easy walk to Pacific Fair, Broadbeach and restaurants in all directions. Parking was great and secure. Apartment roomy and well designed with room and ensuite upstairs, also with balcony and spa- great view at night! Kids loved the pool and the spa was hot which we loved.

AustraliaAs a single person I had trouble leaving. Because there is only one entry and exit, I had to put the rubbish in the bin and then walk around the block to get back in.
A good central location for my purposes. Secure undercover parking. Wifi was excellent.

AustraliaWe arrived late at night and some cold water in the fridge would have been great. Only a tiny issue. Didn't go back out as roadworks on the Gold Coast highway were a bit hard to work out.
Location fantastic, room great, undercover car parking, washer and dryer in unit.

AustraliaNot having a split system in the bedroom and only in the lounge was definitely annoying given the heat and made it hard to sleep. There was also substantial roadworks and construction due to the work being completed on the tram line but that is not the hotels fault. The temperature of the pool was very warm and did not help to cool you down at all which was a bit frustrating at night time.
Location was great for Broadbeach and access to the convention center which was the main reason we went. The accommodation managers were lovely and provided fantastic customer service. Having access to an actual kitchen was also great as it saved us money on meals and if you have children with food sensory issues I can see this being a great benefit as the shopping center with everything you need is only a 15 minute walk away.

AustraliaI think the carpet had been cleaned just before I got there but didn’t get the chance to fully dry so unfortunately my feet would get super dirty at the end of the day. The couch sunk in a bit. Also the roadwork makes it difficult to access the property (which understandably isn’t their fault).
Doreen was super helpful and communicated the information that I needed to check in. The living space was functional and great, was able to cook and watch YouTube/Netflix as I wished. The bed was super comfy and firm. Also allocated parking is so useful.
