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.).

AustraliaNot a huge issue, but check-in felt rushed (even though I was the only one waiting at the time). I was handed my key but not advised my room number, so had to call the check-in staff back to the desk to let me know what room I was in. A super tiny thing that is easily remedied, but left a confusing first impression.
Room was beautifully designed, gorgeous furnishings and super comfy bed - I slept so well, I was late to a morning meeting! :) Special shout out to the night staff, who were so nice and friendly! I had arrived back from a concert late in the evening and sweaty after a long walk (I decided to walk from Rod Laver Arena rather than take the tram haha), and asked for ice water and they promptly delivered a bucket of ice to the room. An absolute gem, highly recommend!

AustraliaThere was a couple of things that could have been slightly cleaner such as surfaces in the room. The staff score is slightly low as I felt we were greeting most of the staff upon entering which isn’t great hospitality and conversations with staff felt like they weren’t very confident in their role.
The layout of the room was great. It was very hot in Melbourne over the weekend and the air conditioning was very good and we couldn’t even tell it was that hot outside. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was a great location for a weekend in Melbourne city. We could walk everywhere we needed to go very easily from this location.

AustraliaI am looking forward to being able to have a drink or some breakfast at the hotel in the future.
The room was well set up. The bathroom and clothes storage was the best I have had in a hotel. The location is also perfect, trams and trains were only a short walk away when we wanted to visit other suburbs. And despite being so close to Spencer St, I didn’t hear any street noise when in our room.

AustraliaAs usual for hotels, lights were a little confusing.
Great location for trams, restaurants and pubs. Only a short two night stay so limited interaction with staff for checkin, check out and say hello when leaving and returning to the hotel. Room comfortable and quiet. 24 hour reception.

Will be good when building across the road is completed- bright lights from crane in room all night.

AustraliaDue to being in a quiet alley way where no one else is around & travelling as a woman with a child, we were hesitant to go out too late due to walking back to the hotel & feeling safe. There were no rubbish chutes or rubbish areas for guests to get rid of their rubbish.
The location is soo good! Close proximity to everything in the CBD.

AustraliaRoom cleaning service occured a bit later than expected (after 3.30pm in my case)
Room was compact but smartly designed so it did not feel cramped at all. There were fluffy lounge robes which were perfect for when the AC got too cold. The staff were very helpful when it came to validating parking and keeping my things safe when I had accidentally left them in the room on check out. The location was perfect; so many places to eat and convenience stores nearby. All the major city attractions are within walking distance. Anyone keen for a run can head over to the quay or the tan track less than 1km away. Will stay in the Howey again whenever I'm back in the city.
