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.).

AustraliaIt was unfortunate that the main hotel wasn't open for meals or drinks over the Christmas break.....but most likely this is due to the post covid staffing issues.
Fantastic location in an historic hotel. Beautiful room and very clean, well appointed shared bathroom facilities. Loved that they haven't tried to modernise the room too much given it's circa 1890's or so, but it has everything you need for a short stay.

SingaporeShared bathrooms n toilets which is a distance to walk down the alley, especially in a cold dark night😅. However the shared bathrooms are as pretty as the rooms, with all the necessary amenities for a relaxing shower.
The hotel is so pretty! Right in centre of a picturesque town. Quiet at night. King sized comfy beds.

AustraliaIt was quite noisy in the room. Recommend turning off the mini-fridge overnight. We slept better the second night without the intermittent whirring.
Great location, very clean, well priced, nice coffee for the morning. The hotel itself is old fashioned and beautiful, and the beer garden attached to the restaurant is fab.

AustraliaThe hotel does not have staff after hours. Called at 9:30pm upon landing in Melbourne but no answer. Check in hours stated 3pm-10pm. We arrived at the hotel around 11pm and there was not a single person in sight nor was any self-check in instructions provided. After some panic, we were fortunate that Sanctuary House Resort Motel was able to accommodate us with such short notice and so late at night. The staff was nice when I called the following morning explaining our situation from the night before, we were able to check in to our room and we were refunded for the first night. To avoid this experience, ensure you do communicate with the accommodation well in advance if there is a chance you might arrive late. Would have liked a bit more follow up from staff as well.
Old timey hotel rooms on top of a pub but clean and well maintained. Location on the main street, easy stroll shops/cafes. The room was spacious, beds big and comfortable. Note: there are about 7 rooms but two shared bathrooms - we did have a small sink/mirror in our room (wish there was a full mirror in the room though).

AustraliaUsually one of my favourite places to stay when I travel to Victoria, however this most recent stay was disappointing. No staff on site, restaurant closed and a group of loud, rowdy men were running up and down the halls and making a lot of noise til late. As a solo female traveler I was very uncomfortable.
The bedroom was spotless with excellent coffee/tea. The toiletries are always beautiful and I love that they are sourced locally. Excellent location.

SingaporeWe didn't expect the toilets to be shared by all the occupants of the hotel. But there was enough toilets and baths such that there was no queue, and it was spotless and super nicely furbished such that we were more than happy with them. It got really dark and spooky at night. The decorations were old and traditional, and some of the paintings at night gave us some chills.
Location was fabulous. Rooms and toilets were clean and bed was comfortable.

RussiaThe bathroom is shared and on the other side of the corridor. somehow I missed it and didn’t expect such thing. Personally wouldn’t choose the place with shared bathroom, though the bathroom as such is super pretty and big. Also couldn’t use facilities as they don’t operate on Monday-Tuesday, which were my days of the stay. couldn’t get tips where to start my trip to explore the valley, only the map
great location, just on the Main Street of the town center, rooms are big, super nice and cozy

IrelandNever met one member of staff throughout stay. Other than process of check in over the phone, very little about the hotel facilities etc explained. Met elderly guest who knocked on door during the night who was worried about an alarm. She too was disconcerted by lack of staff presence or guidance.
