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.).

AustraliaIt was noisy outside. The place was mostly clean but the carpet looked very old.
It was a walking distance from the place I wanted to go. The tram stop is right outside. They allowed me to drop off my luggage until check-in time.

AustraliaBudget motel, tired and run-down, but that's the trade-off when you're paying $160 a night. However, there's no excuse for dirtiness and poor security. Floor had not been vacuumed for some time. Bits of other people's rubbish were all over the floor. Dirty face washer lying in the corner of the dressing area. One dirty coffee cup, supplied for two guests. Stack of plates and cutlery inside the microwave, all wet. Windows dirty, sink faucet dirty. The entry from Swanston Street has a coded door lock. Door was unlocked when we arrived and when we left. The code clearly wasn't working. Anyone could have entered the building and accessed the floors above via the elevator.
Best central location, right across from Melbourne Town Hall. Quiet once the trams stopped for the night. Comfortable bed.

AustraliaIt was great for value but I had trouble with the cleanliness mostly, other peoples hair in many places which is a phobia of mine. Construction noises early but that can’t be helped with the location, so it’s not their fault. I struggled with the shower too because I couldn’t get the water hot and I kept nearly falling over in the tub. I’m pretty small too so I’d hate to think how others would go with this.
Great spot and cheap. I liked not being bothered by staff members or heaps of foot traffic also. I felt cosy and comfortable even though it’s a run down building. Kind of adds to the vibe. I would definitely stay there again.

AustraliaThe toilet was encroached upon by the hand basin meaning you had to sit a bit side saddle.
On this stay I had a single room which was bigger than I expected. It had everything you needed, the bed was very comfortable and the shower very hot and powerful. The location within the CBD is unbeatable.

Asian man at reception ignored me and closed office and started to leave after he had attended to two men who were before me.When I said I had a booking, not happy raving on got an envelope out of a box handed it to me then walked out.
