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.).

AustraliaNeeds to be cleaned to a higher standard. Bathrooms could do with a revamp.
Location was very good. Quiet considering it’s just around the corner from George street, and it was easy access to the light rail. Made getting around the city a breeze.

AustraliaThe room was hot. No air conditioning and it had a noisy fan I couldn’t use. Way too noisy to sleep. There was constant construction noise all day. It was awful. I wouldn’t stay there again. The hotel needs new carpets and all the walls painted. It was really sad place.

AustraliaIt was quite hot the 2 days we stayed here and there is no AC so it was very uncomfortable to sleep in as there is only a small fan which is also quite noisy. The room is rather dim and could use some better lighting. There were also cockroaches running around in the hallway.
The check in staff was very friendly, informative and helpful! The room was very affordable for Sydney CBD and the shared bathrooms were clean!

It's a nice pubstyle hotel, the "Grand" is a.name. The rooms are rather small and have no private bathroom as in the description. Bath, showers and toilets are kept clean and are adequate. The location is superb, very central and Close to the train station. Staff in the pub - that's where you check in - are super friendly.

AustraliaOnly one key available for two people with conflicting schedules made it very difficult to access. Elevator door triggered an injury in shoulder as it was too heavy and there were two parts to it's use.
Location was great and the room was clean and nice. Staff were fine but not attentive, I don't think that's their fault though as there wasn't many of them and the bar was busy.

AustraliaHowever, the building was pretty old. What surprised me was that I needed to manually open the lift's door. The sink in my room was clogged. The room was a bit dark and it looks like it hasn't been renovated for many years.
I like the location because it's in the CBD. They provide towels, glasses for tea and single-used thongs, which exceeded my expectations. I can access the pub easily because it's on the ground floor.

AustraliaCheck in time is too late for anyone - 11.00 am preferred to 2.00pm. Particularly when one has arrived in town early and as one can visit the bar once arrived rather than wait around. Electricity access to hot water jug in room ?
Location suitable for CBD overnight stay with convenience to public transport. Light breakfast included. Bar and food downstairs.

AustraliaBring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper - it was pretty loud (to be expected!) I didn’t realise it was above a live pub (they offer a discount!) - have to check in at the bar and leaving your bag only works for certain hours the bars open. Not an issue - but something to keep in mind.
Great location - very easy access from Wynyard Station Bathrooms were really clean and never had to wait even though they’re shared

FranceThe room was dirty. I think it is really important and necessary to clean the room... the fan was full of dust and spider webs. The mirror is dirty, the window can't be closed (too old...). The lavatory with separated cold and hot water is useless. The photos of the rooms on booking.com are from the best room the hotel has, but the others rooms are totally differents. Dirty, with a bad smell, cigarettes ends in the flower pot, common shower broken with water spreaded everywhere.
The staff was very gentle, they store our luggage and proposed a discount of 10% on the beverages and the food. The hotel is a very beautiful building, with an old and ancient charm. We really feel the history of the old Sydney. The location is perfect and the bed was confortable. The dining room and the bar are very beautiful.
