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 drunks coming back in at 2am who don’t care if others are trying to sleep.
It was definitely only very simple as described but you weren’t even able to drink water from the taps and besides going to the bar during ‘business hours’ had no other options, even a communal area to make a cup of tea would have been amazing. Doors all need a good hit of WD40! We stayed on a Sat night and I loved listening to the live music in the bar and it was great it stopped at 10.30pm.

SingaporeThe men’s shower room didn’t have any soap/shampoo, and there was no one around to speak to about having it refilled.
The location is fantastic, just seconds from the Great Ocean Road with free overnight parking. Staff were lovely, food downstairs was decent. A little expensive for pub grub, but the portion was huge!

ChileThe room was tiny, had thin walls so you could hear everything. The window didn’t close properly. There was a water pipe in the room that got very noisy every time someone took a shower. And to finish, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night.

AustraliaAs other reviewers have said, it does get quite noisy so bring earplugs! I know it's pub accommodation and expectations are low, but the female shower is actually really dirty and moldy. As a pub bonus, woke up to the aftermath of a guest's evening with vomit over every surface in the shared female toilet!
The room was clean with fresh linen and the location was wonderful.

AustraliaThe female shower was VERY dirty with mould on the floor of the shower, floor covered in hair and sand and just generally unclean. I can accept the facilities are dated and don't need updating whilst they continue to function, but they need to be clean. I can't comment on the male facilities.
Location was good, staff were friendly and the room, bed and linen were clean. Bathrooms need to be cleaned.
