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.).

AustraliaA slightly larger bed (we prefer king sized not queen) and the glazed bathroom doors/walls are not suitable for couples who don't know each other very well!
I almost don't want to say how happy we were with this hotel and the charming owner - we want it to be our best kept secret!

Very comfortable, a delightful hotel that has managed to turn a disadvantage - no breakfast room- into an advantage, great coffee machine in the room and free coffee and pastries served daily at reception. Friendly and helpful staff.

Australiathis is a petty pick but if there's one minute improvement it would be the temp of the hot water for the bath tub. It takes 30mins to fill up, and the temp of the bath water was cooler than the shower so the tub was more warm than hot once full. that's a tiny thing... the rest was great.
The suite we stayed was perfect. Seeing it online is one thing, however once you enter it was fantastic, spacious and functional. The bed was very comfortable, the lounges were soft and relaxing.

AustraliaOnly one piece of feedback - the show screen doesn’t seem big enough because water splashes everywhere, into the bathroom and soaking the floor by the toilet. it just meant wet feet/socks and slippery
The staff were exceptionally friendly and relaxed. Great location on Oxford Street in beautiful Paddo with lots to do around and see close by. Its a stylish and sleek hotel, very comfortable rooms and the bed was so nice.

AustraliaThe lighting in our twin room was such that you couldn’t see what your make-up was like when putting it on. Not ideal if you wear make-up which many of us do. A shelf or something to put your stuff on in the bathroom would also enhance the experience, rather than having to put your things on the floor. I personally like to be able to open a window in a hotel room - I think you could possibly open the bathroom window but I couldn’t work out how.
Everything was wonderful - my only constructive feedback relates to the lighting in our room. Coffee and tea facilities in room were great. Love that you provide healthy brekky in foyer area downstairs.

AustraliaNo carpark is a drama as the local options are limited. Not the hotels fault but it's worth knowing. Would have loved a King bed but the queen was very comfy.
Modern and clean hotel with excellent facilities and friendly staff. Bed is comfy and the room has everything you need. We enjoyed our stay.
