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.).

AustraliaNothing comes to mind.
It was exactly what we needed. It was clean and tidy. The shared bathroom was spotless. To be honest, I didn't see anyone the whole time. It was so quiet and a fantastic location with a view of the Harbour Bridge. The parking was fine, we parked onsite.

AustraliaProbably that the room was a little cramped but not much a problem really. Clean and comfortable
Great location and only 5 minute walk down to neutral bay wharf to catch ferry. Room small but cost and covetable with TV and ammenities close by.

AustraliaThe stairs to the kitchen were VERY steep and narrow and again potentially dangerous. The carpet throughout the Lodge was well worn.
The location was excellent. We managed to park our car on the premises each night. The facilities were very clean however during the torrential rain on the Thurs/Friday, water was covering the kitchen floor in the morning which made it quite dangerous to walk on. The reception and cleaning staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient.

New ZealandAs mentioned above we had a problem with the smell of bug spray in our room
We had a small problem with our room when we arrived, however the lovely girl in charge did her best to accommodate us and was able to swap our room for the last few nights, her customer service was 10/10. The location is great, nice quiet suburb but close to the ferry meaning it’s a short ride to circular quays.

AustraliaMuch of the decor is unattractive and dated. The Compendium is out of date - there is no longer a BBQ area. There was only one restaurant within easy walking distance. There is no lift, and the stairs are steep and narrow (as you'd expect in an old house). No air-conditioning and no evidence of heating.
This old house was a boarding house in the 1930s and some parts of the building don't seem to have changed much since then. The bathroom was modern and clean and the bed comfortable. The Lodge is a short walk (up a hill) from the Neutral Bay Ferry Wharf. There was no traffic noise. Close to May Gibbs' Nutcoat.

AustraliaNo air-conditioning on a 35 degree day! I wish we knew this beforehand..we both could barely sleep in the heat and the mattress felt really hot so my friend just slept on the floor! It's an old building, but I thought it might still have some mod cons!
Good location, close to our event. The staff were very nice.

AustraliaMy only bugbear, it's now the middle of summer and no aircon is a huge issue. Hoping for my next stay in a few weeks to be more comfortable, as I have a room with a bathroom booked.

AustraliaThe No lines out the front for car parking - or a sign or prior warning of how many cars can fit in the parking space. I would be interested to know what that building was back in the day, what it was built to be - I support now using it as a hotel over developers building medium density apartments. I wish I knew there was a corner store just down the road- I should have been more organised. It was Thursday and I was going to a formal gathering, I hadn't had a shave since Monday. Google maps made it fun to find the place. The ferry wharf nearby made it easy to get to the city - where I was going.
The heritage features and size of the small sized [meaning personalised size] of the building and owner operator feeling. The fact I could get a room there last minute. With on site parking.
