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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaThe only thing I didn't like was that the bed felt very hard and you could feel the springs. It did remind me of staying at a grandparents place and using their spare bed, so that was a little nostalgic. The remote took a bit to respond when pressed, but that could be because the batteries were old.
The location is very close to the train station (about a 10 minute walk), which makes it very ideal, it's also in a quiet area of Sydney. The room was quite spacious and had a desk, chair and double bed, the bed was rather uncomfortable, but for the price and location I really can't complain. The bedding and pillows were clean and stain free, and the towels were soft and fluffy. There was plenty of toilet paper in the bathroom for the stay, and the towels were replaced daily. There were plenty of lights, including 3 lamps and 1 overhead light. The staff were friendly and helpful, letting me know when breakfast was, etc. They provided free fresh fruit 24/7 in the lobby for guests, which was a pleasant experience. When walking to the front desk, I never had to ding the bell to get their attention, they would just appear as I stood in front.

AustraliaNothing really, aside from usual difficult hotel room power point placements.
Situated close to Central Station, top of George St, the main street. Hotel and room is no-frills but very clean. Bed and pillow possibly the most comfortable I have ever come across in a hotel. Couldn’t believe it. Reception check in and check out quick and easy; the desk people were lovely and incredibly obliging. The guy actually said good morning Deb when I was at the coffee machine. That’s another thing. A Nespresso coffee machine in the lobby! And various complimentary snacks, pastries, cookies. What?! Sets this hotel apart. Also the quiet good manners of staff really was outstanding. Would definitely stay there again. Don’t know if the shuttle driver guy who took me to the airport is associated with the hotel but he too was unbelievably well mannered and courteous. Great choice if so.

Excellent position, minutes from Central, yet not too noisy as it is on a side street. Fantastic touch the nespresso machine in the lobby with snacks at breakfast time. Just for this reason I will visit again on my next occasion in Sydney.

AustraliaOccasional chair would be a nice addition to watch tv in large empty space or a luggage rack. Layout seemed more about cleaning ease & less about practical functionality. Eg TV on benchtop rather than wall mounted, therefore less room on benchtop for microwave, kettle etc. Microwave on shelves in hanging space however not forward facing so difficult to get food out if clothes hung in space next to it. Bathroom had room for a shelf but there was nowhere to put my toilet bag on the sink. Toilet was in way of shower door & a bit of a stretch to the toilet roll. If in the shower no one would be able to stand at the basin or the door would hit them.
Friendly staff that go above & beyond to help. Complimentary pod coffee, tea & fruit in the foyer all day, snacks & pastries til 10am. Room 504 was a large & roomy Queen rm (windowless was fine for me). Very clean room & all amenities, including bathroom & kitchenette. Microwave, glasses, cups, spoon, ironing board & iron, hair dryer, tv on benchtop a bit odd but no biggie & comfy office chair at benchtop. Hanging space in open rack style. Secure entrance, room key to use elevator & 24 hour Reception. Ask for Map behind Reception as it has free walks listed around city landmarks. Art is subjective but I liked it in my room & Foyer. Great location to Central Station & Lightrail, walking distance to Woolworths at Central Park Mall Chippendale for supplies including sushi bar & cafe within it.
