How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The entire staff are incredibly attentive to their guests and make their comfort and enjoyment their utmost priority. When my long-haul international flight was cancelled they went over and above to help me get through to the airline and calm my tattered nerves. Breakfast was the best I've had in a long time. Very fresh ingredients and beautifully presented

Nothing…it was great.
Really happy with our stay at Spicers. Loved that it was in the city but felt out of the way with the lovely tree lined streets. Close to great cafes like Thai Power and Tuyos. Walking distance to grocery stores, Kings Cross station and Royal Botanical Gardens. The hotel does have stairs but they insisted on bringing our bags up so that was nice. The handcrafted welcome drink was lovely and the cupcakes in the room were delicious. Comfy bed and pillows, big screen tv. Very helpful and friendly staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

The only problem was when I first arrived, even though I had said what time I would be arriving, I couldn't find anyone to check me in. Eventually someone came out of the kitchen I had already looked in and he went and found someone to help me. From then on in, it was great and they couldn't do enough for me and were very accommodating including holding my luggage until I came back to collect it.
The hotel is located in a fabulous tree lined street and easy walking distance to the town centre. It is also walking distance to the harbour and there is a park close by too. Very nice neighbourhood. The room was out of this world - so comfortable and clean and well equipped, I wished I was staying longer. The wifi signal was excellent and the room quiet and relaxing. The building was almost from a bygone era and everywhere was well maintained and beautifully decorated.

Front access not ideal for large suitcases Bathroom was dark, no natural light Bathroom door heavy and glass and didn’t fully shut & curtain was see-thru and flimsy No air vent in the bathroom for steam? No smart TV? No full length mirror in the room?? A larger, central foyer and lounge area would be good
Location is excellent Skylight was gorgeous for the view and natural light Back entrance was great for short cuts down the back streets

It would be good to have a shower for an early arrival, after long flights (when room not made up). A wash room is available
Quality of bed was superb, fixtures and fittings all good quality. Breakfast was fabulous for limited choice Location is good for transport into Circular Quay. Very easy pleasant walk to the quay via Botanical gardens. Staff were very friendly and always helpful.

Excellent friendly staff. The bedroom and bathroom were both very spacious, and bed super comfy. We liked the location, with several good restaurants a short walk away, along quiet leafy streets. (Especially the restaurant across the road from the hotel, with the amazing city view!). We really liked how this hotel was decorated and presented. With less rooms than the other big hotels in the city, we hardly even saw other guests. We'd choose to stay here again, next time we are in Sydney.
