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.).

AustraliaHave stayed here many times over the past 25 years. The standard of service is consistently excellent and the pool is the best in Darwin. Recent upgrades to the hotel room bathrooms and the swimming pool area have been thoughtfully and tastefully done.

AustraliaI would like to see more dinner menu options. We would have eaten there more often if there was more variety.
The staff were amazing. They were so helpful and always able to assist with any needs. The pool was also fantastic with plenty of room for adults and children.

AustraliaBe aware the carpark is a bit of a walk.
After reading some of the comments we were unsure if to stay. I am glad we did; we could not fault the hotel re the room, it was clean, has been updated, comfortable and the facilities are excellent. The staff were very nice and helpful, and the pool was fantastic. We enjoyed the restaurant so much we ate there the next day as well. Breakfast was amazing and catered for everyone. Definitely want to come back to the NT and stay there again.

AustraliaThe only teeny down side was the sheets (whilst clean and fresh) had a rough patch where the material had “bubbled” and was very rough when you ran your hands over it.. but this was not a deal breaker.. just a Princess and the Pea comment!!😂
It was an EXCELLENT breakfast and we were spoilt for choice! The staff (from the security guy who helped us up the stairs at 2.00AM! ) to the reception staff and breakfast staff.. were ALL extremely helpful, kind, courteous and nothing was too much trouble! I just wish we could have stayed for a few more days!!

AustraliaBecause we booked through Booking.com instead of the property, they would not give us a tax invoice. It was as if we were less important or valued.

United StatesOur Qantas plane from Auckland to Brisbane was delayed 3 hours, so we missed our connecting flight and thus the first night of our reserved stay. But we were nevertheless charged for the first night of our reservation. Hotel staff "explained" that they could do nothing because the reservation had been made through booking.com. But we had called the hotel when we settled into our substitute hotel in Brisbane, and they had had no record of the reservation, although they did when we arrived the next day. We will try to sort this out with booking.com but are not pleased with the lack of communication, the passing the buck and having to pay for services not received. We may resort to a credit-card dispute. Other than that, the hotel was a bit worn, with a loose floorboard under the rug in our room and some need for a paint job outside, but nothing that would stop us from staying there again.
The location is excellent, right on the Esplanade and close to the restaurants, pubs and shops of Mitchell Street. The large pool is some 36 meters long, so good for exercise lap swimming and very clean. The continental breakfast was mediocre, without outmeal but with yoghurt and fruit, but the poke bowl and salmon sashimi were surprisingly good and healthy for dinner.
