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 shower was leaking. The jug does not fit under the tap to fill it. The cord is so short you have to put the jug on the floor to heat. The noise from the light rail was noisy as it was outside our bedroom window.
The room was clean. the bed was very comfortable. The staff pleasant and helpful. The location was good for us. We would stay there again.

New ZealandRoom was a bit noisy (to be expected next to a train station) and a flood light shining against building during night was like the sun shining into the room.
The staff were very friendly, located above a sports bar that has some decent beers, excellent location, with a comfortable bed & good pressure shower. Great price too for the location

AustraliaThere were flood lights onto the facade of the building and while the curtains cut out most of the light, light did get through at the top which didn’t darken the room enough for me. The wi fi didn’t work for all of my second day and night and still was not working the morning I left.

United StatesThe place has very thin walls so you can hear all the other guests. There is a bar downstairs so drunk folk come up and will disturb your sleep. The REH is also located on a Main Street so you will hear all the car traffic. I also wish the would have done a better job in vacuuming my room. There was a lot of hair that surely wasn’t mine.
The staff was friendly and helpful. REH is in a nice part of town with lots of great restaurants. I also really liked how close the train station is. The bar downstairs also serves food which is super convenient. I also felt really safe. Also the room sizes are very spacious. More do than the big hotels.

AustraliaSound insulation wasn't too good, you can hear everything going on the street and the couple a few rooms down arguing about their relationship issues. But in saying that, you could always bring a pair of ear plugs!
Location, location, location! If you are a young solo traveller, this is absolutely your spot. The central station is literally across the road, and the bar downstairs offers a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. For a budget hotel, the place was exceptionally clean!
