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.).

AustraliaWe neglected to check if there was a lift, and of course there wasn't as it is an old heritage listed hotel. So with a heavy bag it was a bit of a struggle up the stairs. There are other rooms on ground level but we had booked the last room available at the time. Next time we'll pack lighter :-) I'd still prefer to book the heritage listed rooms over the ground floor. The standard small bar fridge, no cutlery, plates or bowls limits your plans if you are a 'bring you're own cereal' traveller.
They have a great bistro & restaurant on the ground floor. We ate at the bistro 2 nights and enjoyed room service 2 nights. Food on all occasions was great quality and the service was great too. The rooms have very high ceilings and the bathroom had been renovated some time back in keeping with the heritage listed design. The ocean view from our first floor room was from a an easy access verandah, that wraps around the side and front of the building. Sunsets were lovely and the pier walk was just across the road. We took the train to the city most days which was a 5 min walk from the hotel and about 30mins to the city. A very efficient service ran on time, every 30 minutes going in and more often on the way from the city. There is also a lovely cafe around the corner for breakfast and lunch, and a bottle shop at the rear of the hotel.

AustraliaThe room layout was a bit weird, had to squeeze between the wall and the end of the bed to go to the bathroom.
Great convenient location, free parking, spacious rooms, tastefully furnished, comfy bed. Mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities were handy, and the bar stays open late!

AustraliaI filled out the questionnaire and asked the management to have the staff clean the ceiling of the room. There was little cocoons, webby looking things scattered around the room. If these were removed it would have completed the picture. Its not hard to get a broom or cobweb broom and go around the ceiling. Our daughter visited briefly for lunch and also stated "whats that on the ceiling". She thought I hope the rest is clean. Her words not ours.
Meals were excellent, location was excellent, staff were friendly and accommodating, rooms were a nice size towels were lovely and shower supplies handy. We didnt have breakfast at the Hotel.

AustraliaThis is an older property and as such the room we were given had a bathroom door that did not want to close properly & windows with thin panes that did little to block outside noise and rattled a lot with passing traffic.
Convenient location to train station to access to city and walks to beaches. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.

AustraliaI would have liked to have been notified along with booking that there was a wedding that night and the loud music went on till late. We only knew this as we started to see wedding guests arrive and a function room with a note on the door saying private function. A little heads up may have even changed our minds at staying for this particular trip as we were saying good bye to a loved one who recently passed.
We love the area. It's across from the beach so nice nightly walks. Beautiful sunsets. Close to where we needed to be.
