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.).

Friendly atmosphere. Locals visiting the bar are lovely. They had pizza night and live music the night I stayed which was fabulous. Had a really nice time there. Would stay again.

We did a quick stop here before going out to Heron Island. Charlie who runs the place was very helpful since we arrived 1:40 AM in the night. Was a nice and easy breakfast available in the morning. very good price compared to a lot of other places with the same condition.

AustraliaIn short, I guess you get what you pay for. This place is really cheap - so we didn't have high expectations... But I think it could have been cleaner. The couches were ripped and smelly, the cat was eating from a bowl on the shelf of the eating area and we got bed bugs :( . The backpackers is on a residential street in a seemingly low socio- economic area. We listened to quite a bit of domestic shouting/swearing/screaming the one night we were there. We left feeling dirty.

United KingdomWhen booking a double private room, make sure you say you want air con, (especially this time of year) otherwise you have to pay extra. Although only $12. The guest fridge had some spillages at the bottom that, looked and smelt, like it hadn’t been cleaned, for a while. But otherwise a good place to stay.
Stayed for two nights. The breakfast options of cereal and toast were good, good variety. It’s in a nice quiet area but not to far from the centre. Main areas, and bedrooms were very clean. Friendly staff. Overall good impression, would recommend and would stay again if ever passing through the area.

AustraliaThe only improvements I could suggest are having somewhere to hang or place belongings in the shower cubicles. Also, having towel rails in the rooms would be handy too. The beds are comfy but a little noisy when you roll over.
The property is located in a quiet street but close to Goondoon St and the Marina. It is a great set up with good access, multiple communal areas and nice sized rooms that are not overcrowded.

For a small hostel this place has everything! A pool, hammock, outside and inside kitchen facilities, bbq, big tv with loads of couches and a bar. Came as a solo female traveller for the night and ended up staying for the weekend, staff were incredible and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and included. Lots of activities on offer and an overall perfect vibe! Will be coming back when I go back up the coast. Thanks for the amazing weekend!
