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.).

AustraliaBehind the Colonial Motel is a converted church which is now four "king" suites with spa, we had booked the four units for our visit - very interesting place, still had the super high ceilings and the doors and windows were original to the church, unfortunately, there was a couple of small things that were a bit of a let down, there was very little choice of tea/coffee, only one small milk so 1 or 2 cuppas and you're done, bathroom soap, shower gel & shampoo/conditioner in unit seemed to be the same thing and everything was just about empty, the microwave door was cracked, bathroom door wouldn't stay shut if the exhaust fan was on and this had to be turned on to turn the lights on, 2nd switch on wall did nothing?, TV remote only worked sporadically but as we were only there for one night none of these things bothered us, if we had been staying longer it probably would have been an issue. Most of this picked up by family member who works in accommodation.
We were in Castlemaine for a wedding at nearby Ravenswood Homestead, which was a lovely spot for a wedding/reception. We arrived Saturday afternoon and checked out Sunday morning so did not spend a lot of time in Castlemaine, we did however visit Johnny Baker (downtown) for breakfast which is a lovely bakery that has a great park across the road where we had our coffee. Unfortunately on this trip, we didn't have any spare time to do much else in the town.

AustraliaThe toilet door had been broken the weekend before and was still not replaced. There was broken window with a roughly saucer sized piece missing. Decor was old. When checking in the manager had an open bottle of beer behind the counter. I didn’t see him drink from it and he didn’t smell of beer, but it was not a good look.
Good location close to town centre. Bed was great, very comfortable. Plenty of space in the room. Manager was helpful.

Gorgeous room and we loved the spa, although some instructions for the strange spa set up would have been helpful.

AustraliaThe toilet didn’t flush and the shower didn’t drain so water went all over floor and under vanity. Also was give only one towel and a face washer. No bath at or extra towels and there was three of us. The white paint on parking bays need to be done again as parking very hard to define.
