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 air conditioning wasn't working. The room temperature was at a constant 20-19 degrees c. I told the staff and they were willing for me to change rooms, but I didn't take up the offer as I was otherwise happy with the room and just put a jumper on instead.
Great location close to light rail, Chinatown and Central Railway. Staff friendly. Really good meals in the pub attached to the hotel.

AustraliaIt got a little loud, however that is to be expected above a pub and in older buildings, so this was ok.
It was a good price over the Taylor Swift concert weekend and was central to food and transport. The room was clean and comfortable, and felt secure.

United KingdomMy room was fine but there was an air conditioning unit, I think, attached to my wall which was going all night despite my air con not being in use. I did mention it to staff.
It was ideal in location, I could walk to most places I wanted to visit and the Light Railway was just across the road for going further. As well as going to all the places I wanted to visit, I also wanted to do a cycle tour and thoroughly recommend Bonza Bike Tours which had good quality bikes, an excellent guide and include cycling on the Harbour Bridge...4 hours well spent! As well as cycling, another hobby is Tower Bell ringing so I was delighted to find a church near the hotel with some ringing in progress and was invited to join in when they heard I was a ringer...what a treat!

United KingdomThe location is great however on occasion you can hear people outside of the bars shouting. The room we stayed in was quite dark and only had one window which couldn’t open but the air con was good.
The property was in a great location and close to shops and bars etc. The staff were polite and helped with a few requests we had.

AustraliaCouldn't open curtains for fear of others walking by and looking in. The bed needs replacing and the bed linen too. Was like cooped up in a box. We heard the guy next door come in and talking around 3.30 and by 4.30 we were listening to snoring, so that was our sleep window gone. When i got into the bed i had a feeling odf getting into a dirty itchy area it wasnt but it gave that impression, i had to get the extra blanket out as i was freezing but the aircon was on 24
Breakfast was limited and not my usual un healthy choice

I have stayed in this hotel prior to this visit. It is great value for money and so convenient for transport to any part of the city. Would not stay anywhere else. Staff are great and helpful and room has all the facilities one requires.
