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.).

AustraliaMoving a 10-15 kg bag between the security parking area & rooms on the upper level was slow & awkward-a simple elevator would be helpful for more ‘senior’ clients. A fly screen on the balcony doors would much improve the ambience of the rooms to leave the door open & save you money on a/c. The dining area is noisy to eat with friends-too many hard & reflective surfaces. The security gate to the parking did not work on a few nights I was there.
Bkfst good & simple & quick. Location is excellent & handy to facilities, friends & places to visit. The renovation is going well & the rooms significantly improved with a face-lift. I enjoyed the coupe of meals I had from the bistro & the beer selections from the bar were good to bring a few mates.

AustraliaThey offer room service, but what they don't tell you is that it's only for cleaning the bathroom and changing the towels. They only make your bed every 3 days, so if you're staying for a shorter duration, they won't do it (although they don't inform you about this upfront—I only found out when I asked after noticing my room was untidy). There's no safety box or any secure storage for valuable items. There's no receptionist, but they respond to your messages. Additionally, there is no elevator.
The bed was big and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and nice. The location was good, with a café downstairs and a bar/restaurant next door. The hotel offers a few free locked parking spots; however, there are plenty of free parking spaces nearby in case those are full. The neighborhood also seemed safe.

AustraliaThe staff, at one point was rude, and we felt that as the check in and check out was online, we did not have people to ask different questions like where to go and important places to visit.
It was very clean, the parking place was ok, and it had availability, excellent breakfast and coffee.

AustraliaNothing. All good.
We were close to the wedding we were attending. The bed & sofa bed were very comfortable. The staff, especially the lady who was at the bar on New Years Day who looked after us with cappuccinos deserves a raise. I would suggest though that you check the S bend in the shower in Room 36 as the water seemed to back up a bit when showering. But all in all, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you. Cheers!

AustraliaThe checkin was a bit confusing but that might be it was public holiday when we arrived so no one was around to assist aside from calling which as hard to understand. Only thing I would add is to let guest now that other people are around them not too my making loud voice at 2am. The room (Room40) next to yours was soo inconsiderate with his lady friends with out of this world laughing in the 2am ish and had to go tell them to keep it down as I was trying to sleep and he was sooo rude to me that I felt anxious/scared but calmed down eventually after calling my sister to complain to that night.
The location was great to the tourist site, Cole’s and other shops.

AustraliaThe online check in system is the worst I have ever experienced. The lag in the messaging and the lack of feedback is bad. Also my daughter's room had the door code reset in 24 hours so we are not sure what is going on with the electronic combination locks.
The people and the place were very friendly. The breakfast bar was great and the coffee was good.

AustraliaThere were NO staff to assist log in. Inadequate milk, only 4 little 10ml pots for 3 days. And I arrived with a walking stick and was given a room at the top of about 20 steps. There was no reception to whom I could appeal these deficiencies. Which spoiled my stay and has lowered my opinion of the hotel from the time when there was a reception desk and we clients were addressed by name not a number like a prisoner.
Room was clean and roomy. Location was perfect for me
