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.).

AustraliaWe spent two nights in unit B3 and it was more like a mini house than a motel room, the barracks are walking distance to everything you need if you have to shop. The history behind the place was impressive as well. The Barracks were also a great stepping stone to Port Arthur, Richmond and Hobart. If I go back to Sorell I know where I will stay.

IndiaThe room looked out directly to the main Street, and the size was small. No proper kitchen.
Nice location in Sorell with a cosy room. Nice vintage style stuff in the room. The host was helpful when needed. Outside is a nice setting to sit on benches

AustraliaThis wasn't a big issue, but there is no kitchen table in the room ( due to space). There is a side table, but this was where one of our suitcases sat, so the only tables we had were the ones outside. Fortunately, we had good weather so we ate outdoors, which was nice as the gardens are lovely!
Situated in a very quiet street, Sorrel Barracks is charming! We stayed 3 nights in the old supply store which is the stand alone building on the left end of the Barracks. The kitchen and bathroom were equipped with everything you need when on holidays, and the queen sized bed was very comfy. Sorrel is a close drive from the city, the beautiful village of Richmond, and is only a 10 minute drive from the airport. It was the perfect home base for day trips around the Hobart area. Would definitely recommend!

AustraliaIt was cute, small i was happy for 1 night but would drive me crazy any longer we were in Unit number 5. I would have liked to have a ironing board and iron in the room but don't know where you would put it so small room. My husband didn't like the shower as he said to small and couldn't move in it. But over all well done. Lorraine

AustraliaNothing really if you accept that it is an old building. The stairs to the upper floor accommodation are very steep but not an issue if you take care and are reasonably active.
If your looking for something a little different then the Sorrell Barracks are highly recommended. It is well restored 1840's building so does have a few features that may or not appeal but our family very much enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, near the airport and wineries with Hobart just a short drive away. Sorrell has a good supermarket, bakery and coffee shop.

AustraliaThere was really nothing we didn't like and we would definitely stay there again. However, the entry stairs to our upstairs room, were quite steep and narrow which wasn't an issue for us, but could be for someone less steady on their feet. (There is ground floor accommodation available as well.)
The barrack have been tastefully renovated, the available space was of a good size. All the necessary facilities were provided with a toaster, kettle and sandwich maker in the kitchenette. The living space was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. access was easy, chocolates in the kitchen basket were a welcome treat upon our arrival. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of off-street parking provided.

United KingdomNothing, though better signs on the waste bins outside would have made it easier to decide what rubbish went in each bin, it was obvious that people had thrown things in the wrong bin.
Very old building, very well made into pleasant units. Sat and ate in the garden every night.
