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.).

AustraliaEverything was perfect. The room is beautifully designed and feels luxurious, set in the historic prison building. The pool experience was warm and relaxing. Dinner at the wine bar was fantastic - the food was top quality and cooked perfectly. We had a little booth in one of the rooms which was cozy and private, but also felt really comfortable and warm and relaxing. All of the staff were lovely and helpful. We had a beautiful time here!

AustraliaWe were disappointed when we arrived at the pool and found out that public access times were only from 5:30am-7:30am and that pool access otherwise needed to be booked in advance. We were not informed of this at any stage, including in the pre-stay call from the hotel, when we were checked in by our host, or in our printed itinerary. There is also no mention of this on Booking.com or on the hotel website. We were also unimpressed that we had to wait 25+ mins before being checked-in at the reception desk (we arrived at 3pm).
A luxurious and beautifully styled hotel. The historic architecture and exceptional facilities made for a truly unique experience. A wonderful romantic getaway, would definitely recommend!

AustraliaRoom service would have been lovely if it was included and I wish the tour of the prison was included as it was a bit confusing to realise we had to externally book a tour however the most minor thing.
The Interlude staff were so lovely! From welcoming us while checking in, to the Olivine staff. Thank you for making it a perfect stay! The rooms were spacious yet cosy, very luxurious which was great! The heated pool was amazing for an early morning swim and the drinks at Olivine were superb!

AustraliaThe bed was a little small for two tall people who like to take up space but honestly, it just gave perspective to the fact we were sleeping in a room that was previously a jail cell!!
From booking to check out, nothing could be faulted. Absolute perfection!! I stayed here for a special occasion recently and the entire experience was above and beyond. The building itself with its history and restoration makes the stay so incredibly unique but the incredible staff that ensure the 'extras' are delivered seamlessly and effortlessly make the experience feel personalised with a feeling of appreciation for staying there. Emma is the MOST incredible concierge/experience creator I've ever encountered and her professionalism and attention to detail needs to be acknowledged. Thank you so, so much!
