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 two nights that we stayed where extremely hot but the air conditioner that was in the room was efficient and quiet, allowing for a good night's sleep. The property is close to a hotel which has quite good meals and table service. We booked and paid on line so we didn't see the owners. The room facilities were as expected, and clean, bed was comfortable and had a good selection of pillow sizes. The shower was a bit hard to regulate, but once finely tuned it was ok. As a general comment about motels, I don't like long life milk and it would be good to be able to get real milk on request. Admittedly I didn't ask.

AustraliaOn a main road but was quiet as it possibly could being behind buildings at the entrance. lorikeets were noisy but who would complain about that? Not me. Only writing something here to keep a balance review but if either of those bother you, you should stay home.
Budget motel. I was delighted to find something i thought didn't exist - A nicely furnished room that was neutral but had character by the clever use of patterns and textures with the furnishings and artwork that didn't look like mass produced rubbish from a bargain shop. Facilities provided were good, clean and nicely arranged. I will return here when I'm next in Geelong. Given the price point and it being an old style motel I was pleasantly suprised and delighted with the room. I was here for the Ironman event

AustraliaUnfortunately, the palm trees attract a great many parrots that roost in them over night and at dawn they are very loud. Other than that it was very quiet.
It was clean, comfortable and convenient to what I needed to do at Deakin University near by.

United KingdomStill operating a no-contact policy due to Covid. However, all guests have to use the same phone outside a closed reception yet no sanitiser offered. Guests are also instructed (not requested) to wash all items used and return them to the appropriate cupboard (again under the guise of Covid restrictions) - which is underwritten by a warning of a cleaning charge if the instruction is not followed. No problem at all with washing the items used but true Covid restrictions firmly place the responsibility on the host, not the departing guest! This also suggests the items are only as clean as the last guest left them. In short, it seems that these 'restrictions' are present to protect the host rather than the guests. All a bit strange to have stayed at a motel in 2024 yet not met anyone in person and with no official Covid restrictions in place.
Comfy bed. Good shower.

AustraliaWe didn't have breakfast at the hotel as we were mostly camping and had our own supplies, but enjoyed our stay once we found the hotel's location, as coming from Sydney, and driving around the ring route by-passing Melbourne, I as the driver was somewhat disorientated, even though I'd attempted to research map and location on the internet. Other than that problem it was a good place to stay.
