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.).

AustraliaThere were a few marks on the walls, and the bed wasn't overly comfortable
The staff were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The room was clean and tidy, and had everything I would expect for a standard hotel room. The parking was very handy, especially in a busy area

SwedenThe fact that the restaurant’s porcelain storage was next to our room was really no success, when they started to pull loads out of the storage early in the morning ( and chattering loudly… ). So much for a quiet room…

AustraliaBathroom lighting was poor. Needed to use the torch on my phone in order to have a shave. Wi-Fi was not very good. Needed to hot spot to my phone in order to be able to send emails.
Location was convenient as I was attending a conference/exhibition at the EPIC. Attached restaurant and bistro is handy for meals.

AustraliaHad chosen and paid for the ‘including breakfast’ option, expecting it to be a full (and normal) buffet style meal. Instead we were given a voucher for a simple ‘2 x eggs on toast [any style], a slice of raisin or cafe style toast, and a up of coffee’. Nice food regardless, but very disappointing value wise when considering the difference between the normal room rate and what we paid for the room and breakfast.
Spacious, clean room.

AustraliaThe only minor inconvenience I encountered was the absence of stairs, which could be a concern for guests with mobility issues. However, the rest of the hotel's amenities and services more than made up for this.
I recently stayed at Hotel Dickson Canberra and had a fantastic experience. The spacious room and excellent facilities made my trip truly comfortable. The room service was prompt, and the food was delightful, offering a variety of tasty options. One thing that stood out to me was the helpful and friendly attitude of the hotel's employees. They went above and beyond to assist me, especially when I needed help with printing. Their willingness to assist guests added immensely to my overall positive experience. In summary, my stay at Hotel Dickson Canberra was a great one. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, and convenient place to stay in the area.
