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.).

AustraliaThere was no map offered on arrival. The wifi in my room wasn't working on the first night. Also, when I ordered fish and chips for room service, the fish came out of a box. It was exactly the same fish out of a box that I had eaten two weeks before. The chips were frozen chips - well cooked but not fresh. Charging $35 for fish and chips from the supermarket is NOT ON. Also, there was no vegetarian option on the room service menu.
The room and bed were good. Comfortable.

United KingdomThe second day, we returned to our room around 6.00pm to find that the room had not been serviced. I complained to the manager who stated that all the service staff had gone home as if that was an end to the matter. I persisted, saying that was his problem, not mine, and I wasn't sleeping in an unmade bed. Pointing out the we were paying him a lot of money for the privilege of no having to make our own bed. He eventually found someone to make the bed, but the rest didn't get done until the following day. I remember thinking at the time that it would have been nice to have an apology. I guess that was too much to expect. The pillows were too hard and uncomfortable. There didn't seem to be a softer option . The breakfast was a little hit and miss. One day, the bacon was perfect, and the next, it was burnt to a crisp. One day, the scrabbled egg was swimming in liquid the next it was not
Not a lot. This used to be a really nice hotel when it was a Travelodge. Presumably, the new owners thought that they could do better, but they haven't. It's a cold, soleless place, self service check in is OK for a 25yr old but in your 70s it's confusing, expected to download their app when your UK phone doesn't work in Australia is a joke. We ended up being helped by a young lady who seemed to be there just to help customers use the machines. So if you are going to have people hanging around, why not ditch the machines and bring the receptionist back. There is nothing nicer than being greeted by a smiling face.

AustraliaThe bathroom shower design means the floor gets very wet. Not a problem for me as I had a spare towel to dry things up a little, but probably not ideal for the hotel!
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is very close to my work needs, but also close to the train station and Sydney shopping area.

United KingdomNot enough storage space or coat hangars which we did get when requested.
Have stayed at this hotel a few times over the years and found the change to Novotel positive. We were greeted by Thushara on reception and he was extremely helpful with providing the right room for us. We also found Thushara made time to explain things in Sydney and checked with us on our return that all was well. We found the room very comfortable but it could do with some drawers and top space to put things on. We had to ask for more coat hangars as we only had three and were staying for a week, they arrived within ten minutes of asking, good service. We didn't like the menu in the restaurant so didn't use it this time. We will use this hotel again when we return to Sydney, the location is excellent for getting around to the main sights in Sydney.

PortugalThe street is quite noisy at night and you could hear the noise. It would be better if they change the windows for soundproof ones.
The hotel room was quite big, the beds were comfortable and a decent size. The location is quite good if you want to visit the center by foot.
