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.).

AustraliaThere was some renovation on the 2nd floor and the first morning we were there, they were drilling at 8 am. It would have been better if they began working at around 10 am when guests were checking out. There were no instructions on whether to leave towels hanging or on the floor, only a sign for the door advising whether the room was to be cleaned or not. As the shower screen is not long enough, water escapes onto the shower floor and therefore the towels we placed on the floor were quite wet. We hung our towels on the shower screen in the hope that they would be changed or dry; the towels were not changed, on the first day. The second day we left them on the floor and then they were changed. The bed was made, but only half-heartedly, and although the milk was replenished in the fridge, and the rubbish was taken out, the tea and coffee were not and the cups were not washed. The WIFI died on the 3rd morning but was soon fixed, however, we had to continue to log in everytime we came back to the hotel. Attention to detail!
We have stayed at the Ultimo before and we love the location and the hotel is quaint. A 10-15 minute walk, from Central Station, opposite Paddy's market, and close to the Tram and close to Barangaroo. a quick walk into town, if you don't mind walking. The apartment was spacious this time and had tea, coffee, milk, shampoo, etc in the bathroom. Staff were polite and helpful and we could leave our bags at reception after check out. Thank you.

AustraliaThere are lifts to the higher floors, however on Floor 1 where I stayed, there are still 3 or 4 steps to negotiate along the corridor. People with mobility issues or large suitcases would struggle.
Location was excellent. Walking distance from Central Railway Station. Close to Haymarket restaurants and walking distance from Darling Harbour. Room was spacious and very clean.

New ZealandI stay at The Ultimo reasonably often for business trips. It is within 6-7 minutes walk of Central station, it is comfortable, and there are great places for a meal out nearby. This time we stayed while on holiday, and because we were there for several days, we really experienced the team and facilities. The Ultimo front desk team are friendly and always helpful. We had a large room with comfortable beds and a great shower. This is an old (historic) building that has been renovated, so it has real character as well. We loved the location - Ultimo, Chinatown, and Darling Square are all within quick and easy walking distance.

AustraliaNo restaurant at the motel, but there were plenty of authentic Asian restaurants nearby. Our room was on the second floor with elevator access, but there were a few stairs in the hallway that needed to be negotiated with our suitcases. You may be able to request a room closer to the elevator so you could avoid the stairs. Also, it did not matter to us but there was no on-site parking if you drove.
Excellent location, only a short walk (10 minutes) from Central Station. The staff were good and allowed us to store our suitcases safely while we explored the nearby area. The room was clean and quiet, and the bathroom was great. It was also directly across from Paddy's Market.
