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.).

The location is a bit outside the city center. The hotel doesn't clean rooms automatically every day. Breakfast is expensive and does not give value for money.
The hotel room was quite and clean. It has a safe for valuable items. The beds are comfortable.

The room wasn’t the cleanest, bed sheets has hair and stains on it. The headboard and light switches has oily fingerprints on it, and fridge still have previous customers drink. I mean overall was acceptable, but it could be better.
The room view was great, and we loved the location, it was so convenient walking everywhere, only 15-30 mins walk to the harbour and restaurants near by. And right down the hotel there’s the Metro grocery store, super convenient!

There's really nothing I can fault the Sydney Boulevard Hotel on, though if I had to knit-pick it would be issues getting through to reception on the phone, whilst I was still in Canberra making arrangements. They are a big, busy Sydney hotel so I understand, and they did try to phone me back. Once I got through on the phone, the staff were extremely helpful.
Love the rooms at the Sydney Boulevard Hotel - really spacious, comfortable beds (even the rollaway), and fantastic views out over some significant Sydney icons at an affordable price (including onsite parking). The location really cannot be beat - everything within easy walking distance, Woolies next door, fabulous French-inspired restaurant across the road, and Hyde Park just up the hill.

It was a very busy weekend due to a concert on so our room was only cleaned once during the 4 nights.
It was a great central location, and comfortable bed.

Would have preferred a menu to buffet for breakfast. We arrived at 6am from Canada and were told our luggage could be safely stored at hotel only to find our luggage was stored in the lobby.

The room was not serviced during our stay. Although, they explained they only serviced rooms every 3 days, this period is too long: at the end of our stay, dust was already accumulating over surfaces, trash cans were totally full and we run out of toiletries. Although there was a TV it did not have any operating channels. We wanted to watch local news, but it was not possible.
Room was spacious with a really nice view. Location was good, close to CBD and main attractions. Personnel at front desk were nice
