How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There was a small ant infestation in our first room - we called the reception and they immediately switched rooms for us, which was much appreciated - be careful when storing food!
Great location in Ayers Rock Resort, right next to the supermarket and a few restaurants/shops there. The pool is great for relaxing. The headboard for the bed was fantastic, with a little shelf right above your heads with chargers where you can rest your phone/ other electronics - a really convenient little detail that I really enjoyed

Our bedroom was next to the laundry room which was a little noisy during the day (particularly because the door was left open) and on the night we went to bed early in preparation for an early start for the sunrise; but it didn't really disturb our sleep. Maybe the hotel could put a sign encouraging people to shut the door?
We'll thought out and spacious room with a massive bed. Great wifi and nice toiletries. Location of the hotel is perfect (not that any other places wouldn't be close to the town square). Big and pretty pool area with towels provided and lots of information about the resort at reception. We were lucky enough to get an early check in before 12pm as our room was ready.

Reception unlocked door to check us in at just gone 16.30. Reception closes at 16.30. Easy distance for Uluru

These are minor negatives, but worth mentioning. The floor wasn´t cleaned very well, it was sticky, but the rest of the room and the sheets were very clean. We also had quite a lot of ants passing by. There wasn´t an elevator, so you had to cary your luggage upstairs. It wasn´t a problem for us but I can imagine it´s hard for some people. Maybe if you mention it in the booking proces, they give you a room on a lower level, which you can also access through a ramp. Only 4 umbrellas at the pool. You don´t need an alarm to wake up in the morning, a lot of light comes in through the windows and you here a lot of noise from the hallway.
Nice room that´s actually bigger than it looks like on photo. Nice a/c. Very close to shops and restaurants. Friendly staff. It´s not a perfect hotel but it sure is reasonable for the price you pay, comparing to its neighbours.

Beds (a king converted to two singles) were pretty small and very close together Not much storage space (no drawers to unpack anything into)
Location was fantastic - very close to the Town Square and the other resort facilities. Also close to the pick up point for coach trips and plenty of car parking Staff were super friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble Pool was lovely and there were always plenty of fresh beach towels and sun loungers Good value for money
