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.).

AustraliaBathroom facilities are a work in progress, but in the meantime very clean and adequate.
The Royal Hotel is a classic country pub. It is a credit to the Sea Lake community who took over the pub when it closed and have done an excellent job restoring it.

AustraliaThe staff and service was amazing. It’s a chasing little motel with a little pub and an amazing restaurant on site. It is good value for what it is, there have shared bathrooms which are kept clean at all times. It’s a really old charming building with limited facilities so be realistic in your expectations. It’s perfect for 1 or 2 nights stay if you wanted to go to Lake Tyrell or night sky watching

Australia1)Unclear instructions when co-op with bookings.com (the charges &payments, place to check in, the facility actually exists). 2)quacking sound on the floor was quite distracting over night unfortunately. 3)the actual room wasn’t as expected (no kitchen related facilities located as described and balcony is actually shared, no mirror nor bench in the room). 4) No information booklet for the stay (not expected as a hotel). 5) only 1 toilet & shower spot for the entire floor (not very convenient when coming with a group of people/family as you will have a queue outside 🫠). 6) both lamps on the bed side are not function-able. 7) Rooms on 2nd floor (need to climb the stairs)
1. Close proximity to most attractions (very convenient). 2) beds are clean (hotel grade). 3) restaurant open til 8:30 (the restaurant close the last in the town). 4) family room was spacious.

AustraliaWe were on the first floor which had 10 rooms. There was one toilet and one shower for women and the same for men. The "breakfast provided" included some scraps of bread, and 4 packets of cereal. We only got milk because it was offered to us by another guest, who had brought their own. The fridge was completely full so there was no room to put a couple of items we wanted to store in there. In respect of the room, there was nowhere to put anything or hang anything up. It was ;like being in a backpacker's hostel.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was good and bar was pleasantly filled with travellers and locals

AustraliaStaff were too busy serving beers in the bar upon our arrival to welcome us. Stood there for almost 10 minutes waiting for service. Couldn’t get near the bar to order a drink due to locals sitting there. Hard to get bar staff attention. Had one drink then went to the room. Place was noisy until after 1am meaning very little sleep.
The meals were amazing
