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.).

AustraliaI love it there. What I loved this time round was I bought my elderly parents and Martin was amazing catering to their needs and listening to what they needed before deciding on the room for them. Fletcher also made our stay 😀

AustraliaThe staff at Hotel Ernest are exceptionally pleasant and helpful, the rooms were beautifully decorated and kept, and the location was fantastic. Located right next to the Bendigo Art Gallery, Pall Mall and Rosalind park, it was easy to walk anywhere you wanted to see, and there are a multitude of cafes, shops, etc right out the door. Every part of the stay was lovely, and my partner and I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great location and a huge comfy bed. Greeted by Penny who told us about the history of the building and showed us to our room. Car parking was not an issue.

AustraliaAbsolutely gorgeous! Hotel Ernest blew us away. The old bank has been renovated into a stunning Bendigo escape. The service is exceptional and we could not recommend it highly enough. We were able to walk everywhere, from the theatre to dinner and through the gorgeous gardens that are right next door. We cannot wait to come back and stay again! Thank you Hotel Ernest!

AustraliaOutstanding stay at this amazing old building, renovated beautifully. So comfy and clean. David and Martin (and Fletcher the dog of course) were amazing hosts. Drinking a bottle of wine (from the wine bank across the road) in the old bank vaults that were so well refurbished was an added bonus. Will be back for sure!

AustraliaThe spa bath and position of the shower rose made showering awkward and somewhat unsafe. The TV was large and very intrusive (poor placement). PowerPoints were all at some distance from tables or other surfaces making charging of devices difficult. As there was no lift, getting our luggage up and down stairs was quite an effort. It was unfortunate that there was no arrangement in place to assist us and help was ad hoc. A pity no breakfast was available.
The interior decoration was absolutely lovely—thoughtful and elegant. The view from our room was gorgeous. The bed was very spacious and comfortable.
