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.).

AustraliaLimited parking available when its busy. We were on top level with 2 flights of stairs. Bit of a challenge after a marathon.
Great location to walk to shops, friendly and helpful staff, facilities were clean and well maintained.

What a lovely overnight stay. I enjoyed the tour of the property and feeling like I was in history. The place was comfortable and can imagine will only improve. We also got a good deal, last minute deal on booking, so felt it was good value for money. Location was close to town, staff were friendly.

AustraliaMy husband and I found the room in need of some TLC. Our bed was too firm, but the electric blankets made up for the discomfort. The carpets are very old and worn out, not good for you have allergies. The friendly staff did tell us that it’s under new management and the lounge and dining room weren’t in use, but will be in the near future. All this won’t discourage us from coming back. We look forward to have a cocktail in the lounge sometime soon.
We enjoyed staying at the historical Leura House. Staff was welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. On our one night stay, the night was cold and we cosied up in our warm beds (electric blankets-bliss!) Our room was spacious and the girls slept well in their single beds. Best part is the close proximity to Leura town. Less than 10min. Safe to walk over to the restaurants, cafes and shops. We would love to see this place in winter when the snow falls on the grand lady- Leura House.

AustraliaAs Leura House is old it is a little tired and shabby but that didn't bother me as I loved the history of the place. A minor annoyance was only having shampoo and no conditioner for use in the bathroom.
N/A Breakfast not available. Staff were very helpful, considerate and friendly. I enjoyed the tour of the House and hearing of the history. Suggestions of cafes and restaurants in town were appreciated. Room was clean and I appreciated the upgrade to a larger room. The location is excellent.

AustraliaThere's no bar or restaurant facilities. Not much of an issue with Leura Mall 5 minutes walk away.
Just a beautifully kept historic home. Large rooms with high ceilings, elegant but relaxed communal spaces... Gives the real experience of old-world charm and comfort of the Blue Mountains. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, gave us lots of help when we had car trouble on the way out, made sure we were looked after. Thanks!

AustraliaNothing.😀We’ve always been interested in the history of the area and of Australia’s history so it’s been fascinating building on what we know.
Location was absolutely brilliant. It’s probably the best located hotel in Leura. Minutes to the high street. Minutes to the train station. No parking problems. A lovely old pub, the Hotel Alexandra a 4 minute walk. A 6 minute drive to Katoomba. Leura House is an absolute treasure trove of history of the Leura area. We learnt more this trip than we’ve ever learnt before. The owner/ manager gives you a guided tour of the house and is frightfully well informed of the houses history. And gave us wonderful tips on where to visit. Despite being a historic house our stay was very comfortable. The mattress in our room was super. And we had a wonderful sleep. The balcony in our room looked out over the garden with a very refreshing view. The lack of a restaurant in the hotel was no problem as it was only a few minutes walk to the Polar Bear restaurant in Leura High street where we ate a delicious gourmet pizza. And Leura Cafe where we had breakfast. The lounge downstairs has been extensively renovated and sported a comfortable area. We had brought a bottle of wine( bought inSydney) but we were horrified to discover it tasted awful.
