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.).

AustraliaA few minor improvements still needed - eg bedside tables and lights on BOTH sides of bed! Plus jug of water and glasses since no sink in bedroom (and bathrooms were not on our floor). In hotter months the lack of aircon might be an issue, tho there was a pedestal fan in our room. No TV but that didn’t worry us - I’d prefer an old-school radio tbh! Kitchen needs glasses - and cups so we could make our own beverages etc. Bathrooms need hand towels. Feels a bit like a work in progress still, but a lot of care is being taken to make it a terrific place to stay.
Gorgeous historic house and vicinity. Location excellent except maybe a bit far from metro (12-15 min walk). No biggie. Room spacious and clean and bed very comfortable. Good clear communications from staff; access is easy and messages were very helpful. Wifi good. Excellent (shared) kitchen facilities downstairs.

United StatesLocation was good.
It’s very simple. The room is clean. The bed was clean and comfortable.. There is no air-conditioning they do give you a fan. It was very warm in the room. For the price of the room, we made it work. Very close to walk around Sydney Australia, and convenient. For the location and the cleanliness of the room it’s worth the money. the bathroom is not in the room you have to walk up two flights of stairs or down a flight of stairs. . That was a little annoying because I get up four to five times in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.. But for the price of the room, it was doable. The bathroom was clean but that’s super clean. For the location and the room being clean it was worth the price. I’ll do it again. I . That was very nice of them.

AustraliaThe owner had warned me that the property had yet to be renovated, however the room definitely lacked some basic necessities such as a TV or air conditioning. Hopefully once the renovations are complete this will be resolved.
The location was incredible; in the heart of The Rocks, only a 10 minute walk to Sydney Harbour.

AustraliaSome entertainment would be nice- perhaps not in rooms (would make it too noisy- you can hear through walls)- but a book exchange, cards downstairs, information about Sydney, maps, recommendations ect would help with the welcoming hospitality. I finished s book while there, and epukd love to have been able to swap it!
Loved the quiet, hassle free accommodation. Very clean and well maintained, and exactly what was needed for a work trip with access to a fully functional kitchen. The rooms are simple and kitchen and bathroom well set up. Lovely to have somewhere outside to sit, and a dining room.

Abkhazia, GeorgiaBathrooms are very dirty. There was mold in the sink and shower area. Bathrooms have no division between shower and toilet so most people get the entire bathroom very wet and then is dirty and wet all over.
Location is excellent. Communication with owner was very easy. There is not ac so don’t expect that. However you get a fan. Since we booked during the new years, we all received a gift of a bottle of wine with a box of chocolates. That was a nice gesture!!

NetherlandsThere was some insects in the room on the first night, which might not be totally preventable but after that the cockroach went away fortunately. Furthermore the walls are quite thin so you can hear the streets and other people quite well.
Good location, centrally and close to the main sights and a 15 minute walk from the bus/tram/ferry that can get you anywhere. The showers were generally clean and the room was tidy when we arrived. Check in and out was easy.

AustraliaThere were no hand or paper towels in the bathrooms to wipe your hands. There was dust/debris on the desk. We never got a room key. The bathroom/shower could’ve been cleaner.
Location was fantastic and check in was fairly seedless. The fan in the room was good and clean. The staff were fairly responsive but the man making up our room smelt very bad, made us feel a bit off, and he could not speak any English when we tried to communicate with him it was very difficult.

AustraliaRoom was much smaller than the photos and could hardly move around the bed. Powerpoint did not work in room and had an extension lead running in from outside. Shower/toilet was not clean and had hairs in the corner where it hadn't been cleaned for a fair while. No bath mat provided so wet feet were not able to be dried apart from walking on the carpet to our room. Doona on bed was small and didn't cover my feet, I'm 6'1" tall, no top sheet on bed either.
The location is excellent and was a short walk from the centre of the rocks. The bed was pretty comfy and it fulfilled our needs for what we required. Parking on the street is 2P but there is a 4P area just down the road in Windmill St on the Northern side of the street near Dalgety Rd, which we found by chance on our way to a paid parking centre.

BulgariaThe biggest problem was the fan(ventilation system) of the toilets/showers! I've stay in the biggest and the most expensive room and the noise that the fan makes is incredibly LOUD and definitely afects the sleeping a lot. People being leaving the light on and the fan was just running most of the time...one's is on the lower floor could not get down to stop it all the time(and wonder if someone will leave it on again in 5 min) The other problem is that when someone cooks something that smells strong all the smell goes up to the last floor and in the room, because there is no door at the kitchen area. I've stayed 10 days and two of the days the toilets was not being cleaned at all(there are 3 in total in the house) Very disappointed that I've got to write this...Out of the problems the place is great and can become an incredible spot to stay in Sydney.
Great location and comfortable room! Great view from the room! Most things in the room were brand new.

AustraliaThe room I was in was a little noisy from pavement and street traffic. It took a little bit to get in contact with the owner to get access to the front door key ~20min, which was mainly an issue as it was about 10.30pm.
Good for just the basics. Bed was comfortable, mattress firm enough. Clean.
