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 amazing. Bed was great. Perhaps some spare pillows in room as we like additional pillows and usually they would be in a cupboard but we did not find any, we also did not ring reception as it was too late in evening. Next time we would ring them.

AustraliaMy only issues were a tissue I found behind the bedside table when I went to plug in my phone and the complexity of the lighting and power system. It took us a while to realise that there were master switches located in the entrance hall for different lights and power points. If I'm really picky, a sofa rather than an armchair would improve the overall comfort.
The Balcony Studio would have to be one of the best value rooms of its kind in the CBD and surrounds. The staff were helpful, even though we arrived after midnight, and it was easy to organise a late check out. The room was modern and furnished to a high spec. We were only there for a night, but it had everything you would need for a week. The large (almost) soundproof windows had views towards Albert Park Lake and another onto a comfortable balcony. There were also ample power points for charging electronics. 9/10 for cleanliness.

AustraliaRoom had a slightly musty smell. Furnishings were quite worn considering what I believe is a recent refit?
Staff extremely professional and helpful. Excellent location, large rooms and everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including a great bed. I booked it because I used to live around the corner and wanted to walk through the gardens but was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Great value.

AustraliaUnfortunately the shower head in our bathroom was broken. We reported this to the reception who offered us a change of room but it was not repaired during our single night stay.
Our room was exceedingly spacious with two queen size beds, a kitchenette, dining table and arm chairs. Beds were very comfortable.
