How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Rooms are fairly small but you get what you pay for. Can often be dusty and a little dirty, made my friends allergies act up.
Super convenient area for concerts, I’ve stayed a couple of times and never had a negative experience. Quite reasonable for how cheap it is :)

In the weeks prior to our stay I tried to call over 30 times to book a carpark. Not once was the phone answered and I didn't receive a call back from my multiple messages I left. After 2 months I finally got a response via the booking.com app.
Great location for any event in Sydney Olympic Park, The rooms are small and basic but it's all you need for a 1 night stay. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean

The kettle had seen better days and left plastic flakes in the boiled water. If a room is booked for 4 people then 4 mugs should be supplied. The shower door kept getting stuck. The hotel looks tired and needs painting.
The lady at check in was lovely. She was so friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the towels plush. Great location to Qudos and Accor arenas.

- • Stayed 1 night
Car parking cost an extra $35- that wasn't disclosed when I asked about car parking. No microwave available to reheat meals. The Ibis Budget at Sydney Airport sells microwave meals which would be handy when going to a concert to reduce costs and make it easier. Expensive for what it is.
Close to Qudos Arena- felt safe walking there for a concert. You know what you are getting as far as small room with tiny shower. Clean.

The power in our rooms was out for the first 6 hours. The staff were so busy checking in guests as there is only 2 check in staff and a lot of guests. Because of this our power did not get restored for quite some time. We still had lights and aircon, but no tv, kettle or ability to charge our electronics. We asked twice to have it fixed and the second time it was fixed right away. I noted that it took a number of hours for the staff to process all the guests checking in as the check in process does take a little while. I tried to book parking ahead of time but was not able to get in touch with the hotel which was a bit annoying. When we checked in we were told parking had been booked out for 2 months due to concerts and events. Despite this we easily secured a parking spot in the outdoor lot nearby and it was the same price.
Great location, friendly staff. Rooms small but clean and comfortable. We were able to check in early which was lucky. We requested 2 rooms close together and that was accommodated. We knew it would be busy due to a sold out concert but we didn’t have to wait too long for the elevator at any time.

We did not end up staying the night as I had a family emergency that I needed to get home to. I had checked in, gone to dinner and then had to leave. So had the room for all of 3 hours. Unfortunately, I still had to pay the entire amount.
