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.).

New ZealandUnfortunately the lift was out of service when I arrived but I was only on the 1st floor so not a big problem for me.
Location was ideal for me. Staff at the front desk were friendly and helped me with a couple of queries I had. The beds were comfortable and the rooms had a reasonable amount of space.

AustraliaThe lift only worked the morning we were leaving. Tried the rooftop/games room once, lots of rubbish overflowing bins, and limited options with guys sitting around watching TV.
Good location. It is relatively inexpensive for the space. Appreciated having an ensuite.

MalaysiaThe hot water kept coming and going in waves. There is no bidet provided but I guess that is in all of Australia. Could hear the street noise if someone revved their vehicle loudly. Not enough electrical sockets, At times if felt like there was no heating.
The towels were really thick and fluffy. The room I stayed in had 5 beds with a pull out bed below the queen sized bed. Toilet in the room. Kettle provided. Good solid large table and 2 chairs and a 2 seater sofa. Quiet part of the city. Location is close to city centre, bus terminal and the sights are just less than 3Km away. Beds and pillows were comfortable with 2 pillows given per person. Used bluetooth and app for the room and main door keys. Lift provided. Nice and cozy common room on the 3rd floor with a pool table. Wifi was good.

AustraliaLack of cups and cutlery in kitchen. Vacuuming of room substandard. I cleaned around the legs of the table in my dorm after dropping an item and on picking it up, also picked up a tangle of hair. Tangled mass of hair around both front legs. Dodgy elevator which stopped on the 2nd day of my stay and was still out of order on the morning I left necessitating getting my bags down 3 floors of stairs at the bottom of which, on the last step, thank goodness, I fell. I did not report it to the staff.
Great location, friendly staff and longer term stayers, comfy mattress. Very hot water in kitchen with excellent signage in reference to it. Goki entry system. Very quiet area.
