Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The apartment was good, however items like toilet paper, washing cloths, rubbish bags were few and far between! They could have provided more of these items in order to keep the place clean!
The Waves was a good venue. Location was great, close to public transport, close to both major shopping centers and boutique shops. We loved the location!!!

When we arrived there was a puddle of water in the kitchen leaking onto the carpet. Apparently the dishwasher was leaking. We had to mop it up ourselves each day and put towels down on the carpet. Reception knew of the problem but offered no assistance. Not a change of room or someone to come in and do an extra clean. We had to ask for more towels to mop up the water and I had to wash them when they became too soggy. Four days after our arrival the dishwasher was fixed. But the carpet as still damp. I was very disappointed.
Perfect location. Close to Oasis and lots of restaurants. Close to buses and tram. Easy walking distance to Pacific Fair.

1) Would have been better with a games room for the kids to enjoy 2) Pot didn't work on induction cooker and could not be replaced 3) Amount of crockery and cutlery was just enough. Easy change would be to increase the amount in the room 4) Noise from the nearby bars and restaurants downstairs (even though we were fairly high up)
1) Great location with restaurants, shops downstairs. 1 block away from Kurrawa beach (has lifeguards). 2) Great gym facility 3) Secure parking

Nothing everything was brilliant, our room had everything we needed. The only suggestion would be to offer a coffee machine for convenience, but saying that there are plenty of coffee shops around (starbucks is located underneath)
The facilities, location were amazing. Everything you need is within walking distance. We had a car and the option of having your own secure carpark was a bonus. An option of having two pools was fantastic and used on a daily basis. The rooftop pool had an amazing view of Broadbeach and surrounding areas.

Crumbs all over the microwave on arrival. Not a big deal, but should have been clean. Lots of small steps everywhere including between rooms in the apartment. Trip hazards that in some cases had tape as warning, but still a risk for more vulnerable customers and we stubbed our toes a few times.
Location, view, pool, room had good spaces. Secure and off street parking. We enjoyed the apartment it had all we needed.

Very unfortunate that the main pool heating wasn't working, and there was no prior advice about that. Markings on the oven were missing, and on the dishwasher were unclear, making both difficult to operate.
Very spacious, clean and well equipped apartment in brilliant location. Staff were helpful.

Wish there was more dishwashing liquid, sugar and tea variety in room. Small stuff really. Not much we didn't like.
The layout of the 2 br apt was perfect for a family. Kids in one area and parents in another. Loved the pool. Loved the convenience of location. Close to the beach, Oasis shopping centre including a supermarket and cafes, as well as a quick walk to the G Link tramstop taking you straight to Pacific Fair or the other Theme Park direction.

Very annoying that you cant access other levels when you have friends staying on different levels. We heard this many times in the lifts.
The apartment was spotless and spacious.The view although glimpses of the ocean was still lovely. The location was the best as you had everything at your door step and could walk everywhere or get the tram not far from your door.
