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.).

AustraliaIt was a little distant from the waterfront. we walked a lot - that's good and we used the buses as well.
All Day Breakfast/snack available. Very handy when a little late night snack is required. John was very helpful and informative. Definitely will go back next time in Hobart.

Host, John, was very friendly, readily available and helpful. John provided excellent access to a well stocked kitchen with fresh bread, local produce, fresh picked fruit, wide variety of cereals.

We stayed twice and both times it was great. First time was a room with a shared bath. Not an issue at all. There is more than one bath/toilet area and they are clean and convenient. Second time we had a private bath and that was great too! Both rooms were very spacious. Either room we had we would be happy using again for a future trip.

United StatesOne consideration for some travelers might be the location. I love to walk and so I didn’t mind the extra steps to and from the waterfront area.
The property is very well managed. John was so friendly and easy to talk to. My room was clean and comfortable. The self serve breakfast was a perfect way to start my day. I love the character of the old mansion converted to a B and B.

AustraliaCould really fault anything. Kids got told from another guest to be quiet at 2pm but not a problem as we were leaving to explore.
Photos all true representation. Great stay with young family. Rooms comfy. Felt very safe. Convenient to have breakfast station in the morning. Good location to explore Hobart/attend Mona/Salamanca markets. Some walking involved which we didn’t mind at all.

John is very responsive and friendly. He made us feel right at home when we arrived and assured us that we could leave our cars at the property after check out and retrieve them before 2 pm. This was most helpful as we had planned to go to Salamanca market but didn't want to go through the hassle of finding a car park near the market. The complimentary breakfast was great. There was even our children's favourite chicken noodles available. This is one of very few places that I would definitely stay again the future!
