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.).

AustraliaRestaurant staff were mixed, some relaxed and friendly, others stiff and uncomfortable. Many staff were hard to understand, English probably their second language. The shower badly designed so water leaked under the door and spread all over the bathroom floor.
Front desk staff were helpful, professional and friendly. Room was comfortable.

AustraliaSaturday night the people staying in the room across from us were having a party. At 12.30am I rang reception 3 times but no one answered I walked down to reception and asked that they asked the people having the party to quiten down so we could sleep. Eventually they quietened down and we finally got some sleep
Breakfast was good, great dining area, terrace outdoor area, staff were friendly

AustraliaWe have to pay extra for the parking.
I booked two rooms which are connected. It is convenient for a big family. The rooms are wonderful. The double bed is very big and my little one really like it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, for example, when we asked for help in heating up some dishes using their microwave.

AustraliaUnfortunately the housekeeping aspect of the room was poor. Our bathroom had not been cleaned properly when we checked in. There were toe nails on the floor and urine stains around the toilet. When we told reception they did organise getting it cleaned. The daily clean and room make up by the house keepers was really poor. They did not make the beds properly. They left pillows on the floor. They did not vacuum or clean anything. It was very surprising given the standard of the hotel. But sadly the cleaning aspect of it was extremely poor.
The hotel has a lot of history and heritage. It’s a great location with easy access to all the sites. It’s been renovated nicely and looks lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaDespite booking for three persons (two adults and one 14yo) we were initially given a room with only two single beds. The concierge told us we should have requested an extra bed however it was quite self-explanatory through the booking that we required bedding for three. Thankfully the matter was remedied quickly and we were transferred to a suitable room. No streaming services available (eg Netflix) and our personal devices would not connect to the television.
Excellent location and staff. Room was also excellent, very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Internet connection good. Ample parking at hotel.

AustraliaThe room could have done with a microwave. Resturant prices seemed pretty high.
We chose Kurrajong Hotel principally because of its location due to urgent business with the Colombian Embassy nearby. We had to drive up to Canberra from central Victoria to make a morning appointment next day. It was a perfect location for us on the next corner. Staff were excellent, courteous and helpful. Room ample size and comfortable bed. We loved the 1920s design of the whole place reflecting the .days of early Canberra.
