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.).

AustraliaI couldn’t seem to adjust the aircon and I found the room to be too cold. There were no blankets stored in the cupboard. I had to use a blanket I keep in my car. Also there were two of us staying in the room and only one towel supplied. I had to ask for another towel. There were also no cloths or teatowels supplied to wipe up spills from making tea/coffee. The room, especially the bathroom door could do with new coat of paint. It felt “run down.”
Due to food intolerances, we brought our own breakfast, so we can’t comment on the hotel breakfast. The hotel is in a good location and easily accessible to everything we needed to get to.

AustraliaI was supposed to have an ocean view corner room. It had a bit of an ocean view but was not a corner room. Meal selection on the restaurant was poor and very limited. Charlie's Restaurant use to have the best Seafood buffet, now there is no seafood on the menu at all.
Location. I grew up in a house on the opposite side of the road on the corner of MacKenzie St.

I liked the downstairs buffet. Very convenient. And, the view from higher level rooms is quite nice. Facilities were very clean and well looked after.

AustraliaThe mattress was so hard. I didn't sleep all night. It doesn't matter how great your room is, if you can't sleep!! I need to buy an eye mask as the fire alarm above, near the bed, flashes all night, which unfortunately is annoying for me.
Spacious room and clean. The view was beautiful.

Australia- I didn’t like that the shower screen was so close to the toilet and if you didn’t look as you were going in and out of the shower you may get hurt or something. - I didn’t like the housekeeping coming into my room one of the days I was there and clean it even though I didn’t leave the tag on the door handle to let them know to clean it or not. - Wish there was a PowerPoint next to the bed. - You had to leave the aircon on and it was freezing and didn’t feel that could adjust it, I had to keep my jacket on inside. - The restaurant food didn’t taste nice, I tried the beef brisket and rice and the “beef” wasn’t beef it was all fat and the vegetables that came with it tasted disgusting - People hanging out in the carpark across the road. - Only way to / from the airport was by taxi or shuttle bus.
The view of the ocean to the right and the mountains to the left , as I had a room on the side of the hotel. The walk along the beach was nice. 10min walk to nearest bus stop or otherwise catch a taxi.

IndiaThe wifi did not function properly and we had lot of issues with it. We also paid AUD $50 for an early check-in, and the hotel sent us a message that we could collect the keys from the locker on the reception. But when we arrived, we could not get the key from the locker and even after calling their helpline, we could not get the key before 2 hours. Our flight landed early morning at 4:30 AM and we reached the hotel by 5AM but the staff comes in at 7 AM, so if you are really looking for a smoother check-in, reach the hotel by 7AM.
The view was pretty good. The rooms were of a good size, and the bathroom was OK
