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.).

SingaporeThe servers at breakfast could have told me to order my food at the counter. The prawn pasta i ate at dinner could be better if fresh tiger prawns were used instead of rubbery-like shrimps.
The room was cosy and comfortable.

AustraliaFirst room we were in was incredibly noisy. Very noisy bar fridge and water pump annd other things outside the room kept me awake the whole first night We had to be moved to a different room for the second night, which was much better. They shouldn’t use room 136 for guests.
Breakfast was excellent but coffee very average. They need a proper barista and to purchase good coffee.

AustraliaThe food and beverage prices were overly pricey I thought for what you got. I think most of their clients are on government expense accounts! The breakfast I ordered was very disappointing for the price.

AustraliaPillows in room extremely soft. While the breakfasts were very good, on two occasions my meals arrived cold. Staff were quite busy so I didn't bother to complain. My last breakfast my meal arrived with gluten-free toast which was actually ordered by my dining companion as a side. The server was very confused when I pointed out the error. It took him a long while to comprehend that I wanted him to bring me the regular toast as per the menu listing. After 20 minutes nothing had arrived so I had to explain again what had happened to a more senior server so that I can finally receive my toast. Self serve coffee/tea station only provided wooden sticks for stirrers not teaspoons. On one occasion there were no stirrers available and it was necessary to request teaspoons from the bar.
Nice location and lovely building which was nicely decorated. Staff & service friendly & accomodating

AustraliaOur room was a very long walk from front reception and also the main carpark. This normally wouldn't be an issue but I had my elderly mother with me and she struggled with distance and "finding her way" down all the corridors. It would have been nice to be changed to a closer room when requested.
Very clean and well appointed.

AustraliaWe enjoyed the entire historical but comfortable feel of the hotel. We stayed in the Chifley room, a great surprise for a rusted on ALP supporter like myself, and the room itself was impressive with its details (sturdy built-in wardrobes, interesting ceiling, historical items, Kerry O'Brien's book on our other great Prime Minister, Paul Keating) and the huge bed comfortable. The garden bar was also very pleasant. And the hotel is only a short walk from Old Parliament House, the other nationally significant nuildings, and Lake Burley Griffin.

AustraliaI didn't think the breakfast was of the standard I would expect from a hotel of this caliber.
I had a large room at the front of the building. It was well appointed, clean and modern. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was quiet. Breakfast was ok, but didn't match the standard of the hotel. The check in and all interactions with staff were excellent. This was my first stay at this hotel in Canberra and I thought it outstanding and will definitely return.
