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.).

SingaporeHowever, the major boo-point here was the extremely poor response from the people who manage this apartment. Any questions to them takes them days to answer, if at all. This is even with the messaging platform they offer. Isn’t a messaging platform supposed to be instant or at least fairly quick, witching a few hours? Even prior to our arrival when we enquired if they were able to store our bags because of our early arrival, the response had been a list of bag storage facilities around the city, with no information about which might be the closest to the apartment and hence more convenient, just a generic list. In summary, they failed miserably when it came to communicating with us. And when they did, it was functionally curt and lacking in any warmth or sincerity. That said, if you are familiar with the area and the local practices, and don’t require much help from these people, then yes, The Castlereagh is a viable accommodation option.
We booked a 2-bedroom apartment at The Castlereagh for 7 nights. It was in a great location, well within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, malls, and supermarkets. We even walked to The Rocks and Circular Quay for Vivid Sydney. The high-rise apartment itself was spacious and reasonably clean. It was also well equipped with appliances and utensils. It received enough natural light, and had a sliver of a view of Hyde Park between the buildings across the street.

New Zealand4pm check in is a bit later than standard and wouldn't be great if staying one night.
Stylish apartment in a perfect location for rail stations, museums, Darling Harbour, Circular Quay etc. You HAVE to visit Le Monde Bakery Cafe just around the corner - food is superb and Dimi is a top guy.

AustraliaThe connection between booking.com and Blackbird seemed to be lacking something. I ended up having to call Jodie because I did not receive the necessary message with the details to enter the property.
Very convenient location, lovely bathrooms.

Hong KongThe drain at the sink in the bathrooms doesn’t function well, used water flows out quite slow. Plus there were some hairs stuck inside the drain which could be seen as there was no sink stopper. The host was not communicative. Even they provided 2 emergency phone numbers, when I contacted both numbers to inform them one of the lights on the bathroom was out of order, no one replied me in timely manner. Not sure what was the purpose of giving emergency contact. For early check in / late check out request, they kept saying no need to ask them specifically. If the apartment was available for early check in or late check out, they would contact us automatically. Felt like I was communicating with a robot. Understood that it couldn’t be guaranteed as it was a special request. However, as a tourist, I was not familiar with the city, it would be very helpful if the host could have more lively communication with the guests to try to accompany the request so that the guest could have more enjoyable stay. In general, just couldn’t feel the host was very welcoming and friendly, felt like they rent out the property for pure business. Though the location was very convenient location, it was right next to the fire station. The noise from fire truck was quite disturbing.
Very convenient location, can easily access to many touristic spots on foot.
