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.).

We stayed 3 nights but the noise levels around the hotel were terrible on the first night(Tuesday night) It sounded like noisy trucks or motor bikes coming and going. Was it garbage trucks working at the nearby shops or something? We couldn’t work it out. It was about 2.30 am when I finally got to sleep. The next two nights were quieter.
The bed is very comfortable and I love all the space to unpack and put things away. I hate living out of a suitcase. Shower is excellent and the bathroom floor stays dry. The e hotel concept suits us … no key to find. Everything we needed was there. Service level was perfect. We appreciated fresh towels and empty bins but there’s No need to make the bed for us.

Security was a bit worrisome. The front entrance was completely unlocked at midnight, even though we were given the door code. Coming into the hotel with no front desk and the sliding doors unlocked late at night was unsettling, even if cameras were installed.
Great to be back after the renovations. Good to see Lisa at the coffee shop.

Door between the room (to allow it to interconnect if needed) was paper thin and we could hear every word said by our ‘neighbours.’ Pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable.
Location was great for Yarralumla where we were visiting, clean room and comfortable bed. Great shower too. Next door to a small shopping centre with Coles, cafe, bakery and other shops. We had no problem checking in at all but we did arrive during the day. The room locations are listed on the concrete pylon next to each set of stairs. Use your phone torch to see where your room is if you arrive at night.

One minor criticism: the door between rooms allows you to hear everything in the next room -- which often won't be a problem, unless someone has the TV or radio on quite loud all evening!
Tasteful furnishings, comfortable bed, clean room, plentiful hot water in the shower (so valuable after a long motorcycle ride in cold weather!).

Had a normal sheet instead of a fitted one so i ended up getting pulled of by sleeping unfortunately.

The carpark had a 4 digit code to open the gate but the exit gate was permanently open so really no at all a secure car park which was very disappointing. The wifi was so laggy we couldn't stream to it.
The whole place was very clean, neat and tidy. The staff very friendly and helpful.
