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.).

I was in room 3Ma, and it was great. I felt like a hobbit. It was a delight. I liked the beauty and peace of the room which was a sharp contrast to the above ground streetscape, of rubble and dust. 3rd or 4th visit to Coober Pedy...love the place.

GermanyAlthough knowing that I booked the budget rooms I was not prepared to see that the walls did not go up entirely to the top. Neither the one to the hallway nor to the adjacent rooms. I think this was not pictured in any of the pics provided here. Although the purpose behind this is certainly to ventilate the rooms well, it was hella noisy all around. They’re currently doing some renovations so maybe they also tackle this issue and the friendly guy at the reception made sure I was alone in my corner of the hallway, so there weren‘t a lot of noises from room neighbors at least.
Very nice owner, the underground layout provides constantly pleasant temperatures, clean facilities and kitchen. Top location, you can pretty much walk to all the important places.

AustraliaNothing really to complain about, the bed wasn't the greatest, however for a couple of nights it was fine.
The young gentleman who greeted me was fantastic, full of knowledge & couldn't have been more helpful... Room I got was very much "underground" which was the experience I was looking for... Facilities were clean & comfortable 👌

I arrived in early morning by Greyhound bus and the owner told me how to get into the lounge beforehand. A couple of hours later he kindly let us leave our luggage. The room was not in underground but cool enough

Comfortable and interesting place to stay in Coober Pedy. The staff are excellent and welcoming and the room is comfortable although quite compact. The shared outdoor settings were a welcome addition. The guest laundry was also very convenient and appreciated.

Australiait would have been better to have two bedside tables. When there are two people in a bed, it is frustrating when there is only one bedside table to use. Also there were no bedside lights which made it tricky when having to get up at night time.
The room was cosy and pretty comfortable. It was located in the centre of town and easy to get to other facilities like cafes and fuel stops

AustraliaThe twin double room was very basic, and corridor light on all night meant the room was never fully dark, so didn't get the full underground experience
However, still got to experience the concept of being underground- very quiet. Shower and kitchen were clean and great. Staff v friendly
