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.).

AustraliaThere was an ongoing reverberating sound that travelled through the bedroom - sounded like the AC/heating was on causing it when it wasn't (we turned it off to try to stop the noise). It was quite audible and annoying at night when we were trying to sleep.
Breakfast especially good, loved the layout and the overall vibe of the hotel. Beautiful overall fit out. Staff were lovely in the restaurant.

AustraliaWalls are paper thin, we could hear very noisy guests in the next room and everything they did. Pillows were so uncomfortable. Pool is great but you have to walk past the restaurant in your swim gear/robe, quite a walk to get to. Shower taps were either way too hot or too cold.
Beautiful location and facilities, free mini bar is great, lolly station in the lobby, heated pool and spa. Cool design and layout.

AustraliaThere were two half opened beverages left in the fridge from the previous guest, as well as a dirty mug.
The interior design skilfully blends quirkiness with industrial cool. It pays respect to the heritage of the building whilst boasting modern facilities (Alexa, Bluetooth speaker, USB ports) and furniture. The blinds and curtains are automatically controlled by a switch. The far wall is made up of floor to ceiling windows that maximised the water view - absolutely beautiful! It being my first time staying in an Ovolo hotel, the all inclusive mini bar, goodie bag of snacks and tote bag were a delightful surprise. The bed is super comfy with no shortage of pillows. I asked for a late checkout and was kindly given an extra half hour. Conveniently located within walking distance to bars, cafes and restaurants. Or a short commute into the CBD. What a dreamy staycation. I wish I could have stayed longer and can’t wait to come back.

AustraliaOur only complaint was that the spa pool wasn't working, but hopefully that will be fixed soon. Otherwise everything was perfect and we will stay there every time we are in Sydney!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Ovolo Wooloomooloo. We were upgraded to a suite and it was very spacious and well appointed - it even had an Alexa and a very good speaker for music. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The building is amazing - a converted finger wharf with an interesting history, and huge inside. Loved the pool as well. The location is great with lots of good restaurants just downstairs (particular shout out to China Doll) and the Art Gallery and Botanic Gardens are just a short walk away.
