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.).

AustraliaAlthough we stayed for three days we didn’t have much time to see much more than the lobby and our room. We possibly had the worst view as we were only on the second floor looking over the roof of the police museum to the very active construction site of the old AMP building. Could just see through the trees to circular quay. I would like to go back and have the time to enjoy the pool ,restaurant and whisky bar.
The location was great at Opera House end of circular quay. The room was excellent with a large bathroom fully lined in marble. Great bed and furnishings with plenty of room to unpack and move around . We arrived early and we left our luggage to go exploring coming back after lunch to be given our keys and go up to our room. A useful note for others is to avoid the stairs up to Macquarie Street as there’s a lift next to them. Easy walk to the botanical gardens and the art gallery. Choice of trams , trains and ferries to explore Sydney and beyond.

AustraliaThe musty smell of the property. The weird reception tables. A reception bench would work better.

AustraliaOur room was quite noisy, with a constant thrumming/mechanical sound; it felt like we were on a ship, listening to loud engine noise. The hotel felt run down and I expected more for our money (the bathroom taps dripped unceasingly, the TV only had free-to-air). The staff seemed polite but uncaring and gave the same level of service as a cheap motel; when I mentioned at the front desk that my husband and I had to vacate our room for several hours due to extremely loud music (with an unrelenting bass beat which was sending me insane after 3 hours) they explained that they were hosting an event in the ballroom under our room and it would cease soon, but there was no apology, no empathy.
The hotel is located within a short walk of Circular Quay, the Rocks and the Opera House. The room was very spacious, had a really comfortable bed and a lovely, big bathroom with a great shower.

AustraliaThe interior was a bit dated, large stain on the carpet in room, and the wallpaper was peeling. The air freshener used in the main areas was a bit heavy too. I would not say that was a 5-star accom.

AustraliaThe only thing I found that could be upgraded is the bath towels. They were quite small. Having a set of large bath sheets and then a smaller set for people with long hair would be useful.
Have stayed at the Sir Stamford many times. Always love it. Best location, reasonable parking fees overnight in their garage, large rooms, old world charm, very clean and comfortable, large bathrooms, friendly staff. I personally also like the rooftop pool and the highlander bar. We were also upgraded and had a room with a partial harbour view over the botanical gardens and Sydney Conservatorium. From the hotel it's a very quick walk to Circular Quay ferries, trains and trams that can take you anywhere in the city, Opera House, Botanical Gardens, the Rocks and to attractions in the city centre like the OVB, Hyde Park, Chinatown, Darling Harbour.
