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 to dislike really. Pool area can be hard to sit in at peak times as not a huge amount of chairs on the lower level where you can actively supervise children. Minimal issue though.
Stayed in a deluxe one bedroom harbour view- spacious for me and my two children, though did wish there was an option to make the bedroom a twin and have the sofa bed also. The view was absolutely amazing. Private balcony. Location superb!

AustraliaCards for lift and doors were a little temperamental to use.
Beautiful venue with practical and comfortable apartment design. Had everything you need for a business or pleasure stop over and the service was impeccable. Central location with good restaurants at your doorstep and easy transport via ferry, train or Uber/taxi puts most Sydney attractions in easy reach. Ideal for business trips as well with easy city access.

AustraliaUpon entering establishment I could feel the lack of service. Comparing to when we stayed at the Darling previously and also the price we paid +$1k for 1 night the customer service wasn’t great. Upon arriving on the 02/12/23 between 12.30pm and 1.15pm, the Indian man at the front seen me waiting as he was doing something and didn’t even bother to greet me or stop what he was doing to let me know someone would be with me shortly. He left me there waiting for a few mins before someone else came over. RED FLAG. Pool also needs TLC as it was quite dirty. Also put in special requests MULTIPLE times and even had a courtesy call the week of for any special requests, which I had specified at least 2 times when booking that it was a very special occasion as it was our wedding anniversary. We enter our room and NOTHING. Every hotel we’ve ever stayed at for our wedding anniversary has also done something special like a wine/champagne waiting for us when entering the room. It wasn’t until later on in the evening we leave the room and come back to it. If they had bothered to read the numerous notes left they could have done this before we were given access to the room. This is something minor but it’s the SMALL details that matter and when I’m paying more than $1000 a night and you can’t even do that, compared to other hotels with a quarter of the price that can have it arranged before we even get given our cards, you need to start paying attention to the small things. Not sure if it had anything to do our “aesthetic” and not looking like the typical guest you may normally get as I can see from the patrons that dine at your establishment, but boy what a disappointment for the price we paid.

Australia-parking charge is ridiculous- other places have parking included -No water bottles included -No basic breakfast included (only restaurant style available) -being charged in advance $100 on a credit card (in case we used mini bar), then being told we won't have the money returned for 3 days. Ridiculous. - finding an extra charge of $46 on top of $100 mini bar charge, for a bottle of vodka that we did not consume. When we questioned the hotel they blamed housekeeping staff.

AustraliaAn itemised bill at each sitting to check before it being charged to the room would have been appreciated. Noticing which teabags we were using and replenishing those each day would have been a nice touch. An optional bar for guests to use when the main bar was let out for a private function would be good. Maybe part of the Q Dining area.
Apartment plan and furnishing especially good. Location overlooking Circular Quay fantastic. Breakfast and dining good. Pool quite good being rectangular for lap swimming. Checkout and bag storage pleasant and efficient. Bins for separating recyclable rubbish good.

AustraliaJust little things like: The tea and coffee items weren't topped up after the first night and then weren't delivered when requested. There was nowhere to hang used towels or bathrobes in the bathroom. The hanging pole in the wardrobe was too low for trousers to hang properly. The bedside light was fixed and therefore no good for reading in bed.
The location was perfect for going to a performance at the Opera House, visit the Botanic Garden and the Art Gallery NSW and generally enjoy being on Circular Quay with great views. Also the reception staff were very friendly and helpful.
