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.).

AustraliaThe property needs some tlc but we slept well and felt safe at all times. The area is quiet and we were treated really well so I would go back there.
This is a very quiet location. You can walk to the shops. The bus stop is at this location. There is an RSL next door and that was convenient and quiet too. The staff are nice.

ItalyHost insisted about upgrading the room for no reasons at all (pretending "sorry I didn't understand") , like 3 times with texts and direct chat at the check in.
Good service at a very affordable price, good location and surrounding area. Easy to reach the Jenolan Caves.

AustraliaThe mattress on the bed was very firm, which may suit some people.
The motel was close to town. We walked to the shops and cafes although it is hilly. There is a bus stop outside the door and you can pick up a shuttle bus to take you down to the 3 sisters and walks at Echo Point. The room was clean and large enough. Staff were very friendly.

Basic and dated amenities but comfortable and quiet for the price - especially on Xmas Day! Central location within walking distance to everything you need and right next to the RSL which had a nice bistro for dinner.

AustraliaA little outdated/run down but still good. It’s expected with three and a half star though. Breakfast area was chilly so take your jacket!
Great location for sure! Staff were fantastic. Lounge area was great and had a few toys/games for our younger kids to play which was great! Older kids really enjoyed the foozball and pool table as well. It’s always good to have a breakfast provided which was a decider when booking. It was simple but filled our bellies for the day!

AustraliaThe room was very smelly at first, like an old lady, but we left the doors open for few minutes and it was okay to be inside a bit later. Also, anyone driving with a bigger car, just a note that the parking space is super small. Maybe they have a different one (not sure).
We stayed in the beginning of November and it was freezing. I was so happy to find that the room had an electric blanket and a heater, it made so much difference. The staff were very friendly. The room was small, but it was okay. The parking spot was right in front of the room.
