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 had to be careful climbing the steep, winding steps to our bedroom upstairs as the carpet can be slippery. However there are ground level rooms available.
The Hotel is a short drive to the centre of Canberra - shopping centre, War Memorial, Parliament House, museums and art gallery are all easily accessible by car. We didn't use public transport. Plenty of secure parking at the back of the Hotel and hotel room easily accessible. Staff at reception and dining room were all genuinely friendly and helpful in assisting us with our requests. We enjoyed the varied buffet selection of food for breakfast, all prepared and presented to a high standard - staff did very well catering for the large number of guests on Anzac Day and prepared a take away breakfast for our early departure. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet and we appreciated having a mid sized fridge, microwave and some kitchen utensils for preparing a few meals ourselves. Heating is comfortable in the room on a cold evening. The Hotel garden is well looked after and we appreciated the beautiful view from our room. Built in 1927 we enjoyed how the Hotel is full of history and well maintained with interesting photos and books - I loved the creaky old timber floors and architecture.

AustraliaThe bathroom sink taps hot and cold couldn't be turned off properly unless with a lot of effort. Shower / internal drain in bathroom (next to toilet) flooded on last day there re had a shower and water came up drain onto bathroom floor (small floor of water/bubbles) enough to wet bathroom floor. Bed mattress very firm.
Helpful staff, good location, character of hotel, secure parking.

AustraliaDecor! Property looking very tired! Needs a good paint and new carpets throughout. Didn't like that we had to pay $15 per day to park. We have stayed a couple of times before and this did not happen!
Breakfast nice; Restaurant food was lovely, as was the beer garden. Fantastic location, close to War Memorial and various shopping centres.

AustraliaSeemed run down - the plumbing made groaning/whistling noises, as did the shower door hinge. You need earplugs if you aren’t a heavy sleeper. Bathroom door was hard to open and close. The TV didn’t work our first day. There was a fire alarm early one morning, presumably a false alarm but we never heard anything from staff.
Comfortable bed, AC, nice natural light. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking

AustraliaWe chose this hotel knowing it had an on-site restaurant however the meals could have been of better standard considering the pricing. The hotel is isolated for travellers from any close shopping centre and alternate restaurants within walking area. Rest rooms for visitors not booked in as guests are only in the bar region. When this is closed it limits facilities for those needing a rest room, such as at the breakfast room or in our case when our room had plumbing issues.
Room was good and the staff very helpful and friendly. We had a plumbing issue and this was attended to and fixed within minutes of reporting. The courtyard and garden is a lovely resting spot.

AustraliaTheres no free parking, They charge $15 for parking per day. The standard rooms don't have any Wifi. TV doesn't have any good channels. Without wifi, you cannot cast anything to the tv, nor you can attach chrome or Amazon firestick to the tv. If you want to watch any movie, you have to pay $34 separately, which is very weird. For any late checkout, you have to pay $20 extra, even for 30 mins. Never had these experiences anywhere else.
The room was average. The staff were friendly and room service was good. The buffet breakfast was good, too.

AustraliaThe place has a slightly dated appearance that I thought was charming, but might not appeal to those looking for a more modern vibe.
Very large, well-appointed room. The complementary breakfast was nice - pretty standard buffet options, but it worked well for me! 24-hour room service (although after-hours options are limited). Staff were lovely and helpful.

AustraliaGenerally a bit tired and needs renovating. Small room (standard queen) with fridge and kettle etc inside the wardrobe because there was no space. Terrible view! Looked out onto all the air con vents which hummed all night. Could do with a sheer curtain, would at least hide the view.
Staff were accommodating and gave us a late check out on request (+1 hour). Secure parking ($15)
