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.).

AustraliaThe milk provided in the common area kitchen for tea or coffee had started to go off.
Very clean and comfortable room for a single person - it could be a little cramped if 2 people were using it. Room was well equipped and quiet. Check in process was easy. Free onsite parking. Friendly staff.

Australia1) Slight traffic noise which can be fixed by closing the window. 2) Not allowed to cook due to COVID but I could easily order yummy food from restaurants at the Macquarie Centre as well as McDonald breakfast close by. 3) Some people did not like that some lights did not work in their room and bathroom. I have spoken to the Manager and they have addressed this issue ASAP. it should be completely fixed this week. * Due to safety reasons the electrician will not fix the lights until the excess water is dry. This is understandable. The weather in NSW has been unusual and apparently non stop rain. I am from the Sunshine Coast so it sunny all the time.
1) Great value for money! Cheap accomodation in Macquarie Park. Very clean and tidy, Great facilities and friendly management and staff. 2) Well presented room comes with own bar fridge and tv, inc a cool fan for summer. Common areas include big flat screen tv and comfy couches along with dining table and chairs. 3) Kitchen includes detachable mini oven and microwave to heat food. There is also free coffee/ tea and biscuits. 4) I would recommend staying here to International Macquarie University students looking for a place close to Macquarie Park. As well as interstate travellers and people looking for a cheaper option than an expensive hotel. 5) 15 mins walk to Macquarie Centre via underground tunnel when you turn left at The main rd (Epping rd). 5 stars!

AustraliaThe mini fridge is mouldy at room. Many it's better to clean it before the guest cone. But you can still use the public fridge at kitchen.
It's close to the shopping center and Macquarie uni, I don't mind to walk around. It only took me 18mins to walk to the places where I want. The owner-Helen is nice too.

AustraliaThe lights in our room were having technical difficulties, when I messaged the host she was aware of it and apologized. She suggested that we use the bedside lamps we'd been provided. The toilet seemed to have a plumbing issue as you could smell something lingering even before using the restroom.
The room was as described, good sized bed and an ensuite bathroom. The hosts were well organized, finding the key to enter the house and notes describing check in and check out procedure. It's in a great location, not far from the airport or CBD, couldn't have asked for more.

GermanyIt was a very bad experience. 3 days without internet. The staircase lights did not work despite claiming it. the bedroom drawers, the kitchen utensils, such as oven, microwave, water dispenser were very dirty. The windows had mold. Something black like charcoal came out of the air conditioning and fell on my pillow. To my regret, Mrs. Helen said that she would not refund my money if I left the hotel.
