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.).

AustraliaWe arrived late and the room was very hot even though the windows were open. No air conditioning and the fans couldn’t cope to cool it down so we had a sleepless night. We had arrived after a long flight and would have loved to have a cup of tea and coffee but no cups/jug/ coffee/tea.
Central to the railway station. Clean.

AustraliaTold by the management that Akara is a Budget so had limited cutlery & crockery. Just as well I brought bits & pieces of both. Akara is an ‘Aged building’ so floor boards creaked at times…. creaked in bedroom upstairs.
Very central to Everything - Transportation, food retailers, cafes shops, shopping centres & malls. The bedroom 113, upstairs had a renovated bathroom & 2 windows to open for fresh air.

AustraliaAkara is very conveniently located with the CBD, very close to bus and train services. Despite that, there was little traffic noise the night I was there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The building itself is old giving a lovely old-fashioned ambience. My room was very large - I was not expecting that! The bathroom was very good. No TV in the room was actually a nice break. While not 5, or even 3, star by any means, this is a good, comfy, clean, very convenient and affordable place to stay.

AustraliaNo Aircon, only ceiling fan which you can’t feel the air, spent 4 nights there and 36-40 degrees all those day…burning inside, not including they did fire alarm check which need electricity off during hot day. No TV for entertainment and it’s complicated just if you want to do your laundry. Other place with same price has better facility.

AustraliaHave stayed here before in the cooler months and everything was fine. But this stay with no aircon and ceiling fan that created no breeze, was no good. Traffic noise was bad enough but also had ask the next room twice to turn down their music and at 3 am he cranked it again!
