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.).

I have stayed at 11 different hotels in Australia on this journey, and out of those this has been my favorite so far. It's classy and clean with very professional staff, yet it has that "homey" feeling. And even though it's right where there's a lot of traffic, once you're inside you don't hear anything but silence. The detail that I loved the most, that most hotels miss out on was this: A magnifying mirror in the bathroom and good light! I appreciate that so much. The bed was comfortable, the Wifi was fast and steady, the shower was big (two showers, a waterfall type of shower and a regular) the AC was easy to operate, plenty of TV channels, a modern clock with two USB chargers on the bedside (if only ALL hotels had this!) two bottles of cold water in the fridge and some small goodies, fruit and biscuits available for free in the little kitchen by the front desk... One morning I asked the guy at the front desk if he knew what the weather was like today. He actually got up and went outside to find out for me! How is THAT for great service! I loved this place. Every city needs its own little Mrs Banks Hotel.

It is a lovely boutique hotel, with very nicely decorated rooms which are very clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. It is in a great location with lots of pubs and cafes and boutiques for shopping in the same street. It’s walking distance to the SCG, Hordern Pavilion etc and a short bus ride to the CBD and Bondi.

AustraliaCheck in wasn’t great. We were asked to take a seat as only 1 staff member was checking groups in, then another staff member asked our booking and then came back with a key card. No info given on facilities or breakfast etc. Mattress was very soft, but that’s a bad thing as you need some support.
Fantastic location for Allianz Stadium.

AustraliaRoom was comfortable but smaller than expected. The window was glass bricks and the blind didn't fully cover the area so let in some light.
Front of house was helpful and friendly, great location, nice little coffee area in foyer to help yourself. Liked the movement activated night light in the bathroom. Great hot water & shower pressure. Managed to get free parking just outside over the weekend.

AustraliaI would suggest doing a quick check of the carpets and doing a more thorough vacuum as I noticed some crumbs but that’s it. We also had a small issue of our room keys being also given to another guest but that was resolved quite quickly and with grace, thank you to Dylan for giving us a personal apology.
The rooms were exceptionally clean, I usually do a quick check of all the essential areas and it was pristine. I quite liked the water refill station that helped us save on buying bottled water, very convenient! Overall the rooms was super comfortable.

AustraliaThe only thing that bothered me were the lack of power sockets in the room - none near the writing desk, none in the bathroom. There only seemed to be one socket (right next to the bed) that wasn't already occupied by a light or a clock or an appliance.
The staff were brilliant, the facilities were clean, light and cute, checking in and out was an ease, the front refreshment area was great.

AustraliaWe took rooms up the top(4th) floor cause we thought there might be a better view. But to our surprise the window was glazed and although it let lots of light in you cannot see anything outside. But as we weren’t there for long we didn’t mind too much. Unfortunately too when the concert finished it was around 11:30 pm and hardly any eateries or restaurants were open in the area around the hotel to get something to eat. We had to go to bed hungry.
Best location when it comes to seeing a show/concert at Allianz Stadium. Only a 5 minute walk. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking for the weekend was not too bad as you had to park on the streets.
