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

Your car parking arrangements you sold me a hotel car park, and upon trying to find a car park in the evening in the hotel section that I paid for there was not a car park to be had. I was told to park in the public parking area by the front desk attendant. I feel I paid for a car park in the hotel section but you are over selling them if you have 60 parks then that’s all you can sell why should I pay you for public parking . I feel a little ripped off over this. And I believe your practice are wrong .
There seriously was nothing not to like about this staying.simple to book and check in and out and being pet friendly is just brilliant

Pre online check in is a waste of time as was repeated at reception. Also requires prepayment which then rules out any chance of free parking. Something we have been offered previously. Also possible to park for less than advertised rate in non hotel parking on weekends. In house restaurant not open on Sunday night. Not a big deal as other eateries nearby.
Location is convenient to shops and restaurants. Also close to Lake. Rooms are well appointed if a little on the small side unless you are upgraded. Nice lap pool and gym.

The corridors are long, I mean really long. For someone with difficulties in walking, this could be a bit of a problem, although some rooms close to the lifts are available. CO2 measurements during the stay revealed that the room's ventilation did not receive a high enough amount of fresh air to keep the air quality within the Australian standard range (<800ppm). Rather, air from the room seemed to be recycled. This should be fixed.
Abode Belconnen is excellently located near the Belconnen Town Centre, Lake Ginninderra, the CISAC pool complex, the University of Canberra, etc. The rooms are well-appointed. Having a separate bedroom that can be closed off to the living area is a bonus. A small supermarket is right across from the hotel. There are also coffee places and restaurants nearby.
