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.).

AustraliaSome of the rooms need modernising but this won't affect the comfort of your stay.
The rooms are basic, but they're clean, tidy and comfortable. Great value for money. We travelled to a music festival in Ipswich daily and we chose the motel due to it being walking distance to the train station.

AustraliaYou state to have $1 coins for washing machine and dryer - is that $1 each? How much?
Having the shower over the bath (uneven surface) makes the surface unsafe and slippery. You could improve safety by placing a right hand handle on wall. (I did slip a couple of times, particularly when washing my feet)

AustraliaIt should have been cheaper for the location on the wrong side of the Brisbane River and away from the CBD, I had to spend quite a bit on uber rides. If it was a place of better quality then it would have matched the price I paid or if the location was more convenient.
It had everything I needed; some basic appliances in the 'kitchen', a bed and a toilet. Staff were really friendly.

AustraliaA bit noisy but not unexpected being close to transport and being an old style motel.
It was a convenient location for us and the room was a good size plus clean and tidy with a very good size bed. Bathroom facilities are made for midgets but otherwise clean and very serviceable. Staff are very nice and great to deal with. Booking etc was very easy.

AustraliaWhile the location is great it also means that it is a little noisy, particularly with a train line close by. Reception closes at 6pm but this isn't a problem as they will arrange to make your room keys available to you after hours.
I have stayed at the Benson Court a few times over the last few years. It is very convenient to the University of Queensland and to downtown Brisbane with bus, train and ferry connections close by. It has always been clean and functional. My room this time had clearly been refurbished and was very nice.

AustraliaIt would have been handy to have some basic crockery and cutlery. Just a bowl, knife, fork spoon would have been useful as the room is set up for a basic level of self-catering (fridge, microwave, dining table) It was great that the rooms were serviced daily however as we were holidaying, we weren't prepared for the pre-9am housekeeping! So we opted to pass on this service for two of our three mornings.
The rooms were spacious and the bedding was comfortable. We had a small lounge and a dining table also. I really enjoyed the outlook onto the private courtyard. We had a hire car, so the location suited us as a base, and it was only a short stroll to the shops for groceries and a few dining options.
