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.).

AustraliaWould not allow an early check in. Very confusing with collecting keys at one place then having to travel a couple of blocks to the accommodation entrance. Map/Instructions shown was also quite confusing! Bed was way too hard (for my liking) to have a good night sleep. Communication at times was difficult. Asked for a late check out but for how much it was, it was not worth it.
Location was great! Close to shops and nice dining places - good walkable distances. We only stayed for one night. Building overall was very secure and felt safe and very quiet which was nice! Apartment was a good size with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, washing machine, lounge area with dining table and also a balcony. We stayed on a very high floor and the view across the city was just beautiful! You could easily stay for longer as had everything you needed. We paid extra to have secure parking as well which we were happy to do! Checkout was easy - we had to hand keys back as needed them to get out of the building with our car but just left it in a drop box where we collected them. We didn't have time to go for a swim and use other facilities provided. Overall was a good stay.

AustraliaThe add said this was a serviced apartment, however, we had no way to take out the rubbish or have fresh linens if needed or get extra toilet paper. There was no reception desk so no one to ask for assistance. This could be easily fixed with a document in the apartment with contact numbers of someone to contact if assistance is required. This document could also include wifi passwords etc as free wifi was advertised but also not available as no instructions were given. It was also stated that toiletries were supplied, the toiletries that were supplied were cheap supermarket communal toiletries left in the shower.
The location was great, a bit further from the train station than advertised but still less than a block away. Nice sized apartment

AustraliaSome minor cleaning issues but nothing too drastic Having to do the check-in in a restaurant wasn’t ideal but it was well communicated on the day before the checking and $300 bond seemed high compared with other stays and quality of accomodation we had during our holidays. The host was friendly

AustraliaA little noisy as it is near the train station and a main road. The unit was overall good clean with basic facilities. Some minor maintenance issues but not bad enough to mention. Overall our stay was as expected.
The breakfast came from Coles across the road so it was OK. The location is central. Spencer St station is near. The trans cover the area well. We went to an AFL game at Marvel Stadium which is near.

United Arab EmiratesThe room was actually a studio room, which was not clear in the description. Also some parts of the room felt unfinished.
For a STUDIO room it was relatively well equipped. Would suit those who intend to spend most of their time out enjoying the city. This room had a good location if you want to stay close to the hustle and bustle.

AustraliaThe spare blankets smelt of vomit, the entry door to the apartment needs a good coat of paint and a more secure lock as the handle wobbled, many of the fittings/furnishings in the apartment were worn. The windows were dirty. The futon couch was uncomfortable.
The views were great and the beds were comfortable.

AustraliaThe cleanliness was not up to scratch. Had to call and ask for fresh sheets as the ones provided were visibly dirty, staff member took over an hour to come up after promising 15 minutes, had to call to verify someone was actually coming. Facilities were not kept clean, there was a big stain on the shower floor, the bathroom door handle was coming off, the stove wasn't cleaned, felt really unclean and dirty. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable. Balcony door was stuck and could not easily be opened or closed. TV remote was broken and the TV itself was very small, WIFI was difficult to connect. There was a stain on the small table at the front of the room that was covered up by a plant. There were no toiletries provided and only large bottles of shampoo and conditioner that are clearly reused for every guest. No spare towels or sheets or pillow cases. Felt as though the room hadn't been cleaned preempting our stay.
Location was great, view from the balcony was nice and the place felt very secure, had to use swipe card to get in and out of building at multiple points. The staff were pretty friendly at the small cafe.

AustraliaLate check in at 3pm isn't ideal. The room really needed a good deep clean, especially the bathroom.. Hairs left through our bathroom. No hand towels. Rubbish bins left from previous guests.
Good location and nice indoor pool but the overall value was ok apart from the cleanliness. The toiletries were a nice touch.
