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...).

AustraliaWe upgraded at considerable cost when we arrived as we didn’t like the original room and were disappointed that it did not include breakfast. There is no evening turn down service which surprised us. We also returned to the hotel at 11.30pm one night and were locked out. It took a while to raise the security guard to let us in.
We liked the position of the hotel and the underground parking for our car

AustraliaUnfortunately the bed wasn't supportive enough for me. I didn't sleep as well as hoped. As a vegetarian, the food options were terribly limited so I needed to go looking elsewhere.
I was nicely surprised at the size of the room...like a suite...so much space. The amenities were excellent too. I had everything needed such as toiletries, lots of hanging space, comfy lounge chairs. As a guest, it was great to have free car parking. The hotel is a bit isolated from outside services which is positive in that it was quiet and close to the beach. The proximity to the beach encouraged some good walks on the beach and along the beachfront. There are some more foodie options along the beachfront walkways. Despite the sad state of/loss of businesses in the shopping centre next door to the hotel, there were some good options including the Farmer's Market on Saturday, a lovely Asian restaurant, and an excellent coffee shop. I stayed at the Imperial because I was attending a wedding reception there. The venue is a perfect one for that purpose.

AustraliaThe very minor details in a true 5star resort that you don’t think about until they’re not there. Shoe horns, shoe polish kits, extra towels, bed turndown. Toilet seat not installed straight, towel racks ditto. “First world problems” of course but there are standards to be upheld.
It’s been a 5 resort, under previous management and probably still qualifies as such. Quite large room, yetweirdly narrow corridors (allows more lettable space) plus excellent breakfast, and pleased to see decent flat white coffee rather than the low rent drip filter brews preferred by many US chains. Two double beds in our room, and very comfortable they were. Free self parking.

AustraliaWe were initially allocated room 148, which had a full-height, brick wall balcony and an awful smell because of its location within the hotel. We asked to change rooms and our only option was a room that cost an additional $50 a night, yet the hotel wasn’t even close to capacity. It appeared as though it was a tactic to push paid upgrades onto guests. This was very disappointing as the image on our booking was not an accurate reflection of the room we were allocated, and ate into our first day. We also ordered the $34 cheese platter based on a visual we saw on Instagram and it wasn’t presented in the same beautiful way, which was also disappointing. However our stay was otherwise pleasant.
The hotel is located right near SeaWorld and although there are rumours that it is dated, it was honestly absolutely fine.

AustraliaPrice of the buffet was excessive, although it was really a seafood buffet and our family doesnt eat Seafood so we paid a premium unnecessarily. The meal was actually significantly higher than the accommodation so I guess thats what didnt make sense to us.
Hotel looks amazing, high quality and very impressive from the entrance to the rooms. Staff were helpful and the pool was excellent. Kids really loved the pool and it wasnt too crowded even during school holidays thankfully.

AustraliaThe lighting in the bathroom was very dim, it would be an advantage to have an option for brighter lighting. The spa bath jets had not been cleaned / flushed out with appropriate cleaning products. As a result of this procedure not being done, scum and obviously residue from previous guests dead skin cells and bodily oils etc had built up in the jets, when I emptied the bath the bathtub was when I discovered the problem. It is essential that spa baths are cleaned and maintained to ensure that hygiene is maintained.
The staff were very attentive and professional.
