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.).

AustraliaStaff signed me up to Accor which allowed for late check out to 12pm. At 11am the hotel locked us our card/room access and required a few up and down lift trips to get it sorted with staff (was told it was fixed when it wasnt). I now get a daily spam call from Accor about offers. Blocked the number but still getting calls!!
Excellent view and amenities, hotel was clean and easy to access the carpark. Quick lift despite many levels.

AustraliaNegatives: - nearly every time I needed assistance at Reception I had a lengthy wait, especially at check-in, there never seemed to be enough staff on, they looked tired and over-worked, nonetheless they were still polite and friendly - room telephone did not work, cable broken - Google Chrome on TV did not connect - Wifi extremely slow and intermittent - for a Superior room, it was fairly small - room was not cleaned daily despite leaving the sign on the door - when it was cleaned, beds were quickly made and garbage emptied but nothing else, floor needed vacuuming and surfaces wiped down - the bins don't have plastic garbage bags.... I've never stayed in a hotel with that before, staff just enter bin contents into their big garbage bag, not sure how hygenic that can be! - the irony of the room phone not working meant each time I needed assistance, I had to go and queue up at Reception again for a lengthy wait - had to call 3 times to have room cleaned as we were missed - daily parking charge had gone up since I checked website the night before checking in... website said $18/day, Reception informed me it had "just gone up to $20" - wish I'd known how to access ice, cutlery and water at the start of our stay... found this out too late on the 7th day - one time I used the mobile number provided to order an ice bucket for the room, I was told it would be about 10 mins (which was no problem) but it still hadn't arrived after an HOUR. Sent a follow-up message to the mobile number and they apologised they sent it to the wrong room, got the numbers mixed up. This significantly delayed our plans that afternoon,
Positives: - two comfortable double beds - brilliant view of the Hinterlands, great at night, especially watching people on the Slingshot ride from the balcony! - quiet room - great location - can borrow free boogey boards at Reception to use at the beach - when I was provided with a mobile number to use in lieu of my room phone not working, each time I needed to use it I had a quick response with action taken - decent gym with good equipment, liked the Peleton program on the bike (however it took me about 20 mins to successfully connect via Bluetooth) - pool is a good temperature - wasn't available due to upgrades/maintenance for our first two days stay there, but we were at least offered an alternative pool at a nearby hotel

AustraliaTiny tiny bathroom was ridiculous. Not a place to stay with a family, . Had to sleep most nights with the TV going to drown out the music from outside that was keeping us up well after midnight. No restaurant at the Hotel. Old mate in the cafe was more interested in being funny than getting our order correct. For the money we paid, I expected this place to be significantly nicer!! Not one greeting from the concierge over the four nights we were there!!...
The Location is pretty good and the main bed was quite comfortable.

AustraliaCheck-in was a little hectic and our room wasn't ready still at 3pm. We shared a little hallway with another room (I'm guessing you can book these as adjoining) and the noise was pretty loud from people coming and going at all hours.
Great location, right on the mall. Room was very comfortable. Kids loved the pool and the breakfast service.
