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.).

Excellent hotel. Quirky, interesting decor. Lovely, helpful staff. Clean rooms. Very comfortable beds. Lovely sitting area with comfy leather chairs in foyer. Great rooftop bar. Great location close to tennis, gardens and city. Eating places close by. We loved staying there and have already recommended it to friends. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the delicious complimentary lollies and waters.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we could fault.
We liked the friendly welcome and atmosphere created at the Motley and the room and communal areas were well decorated modern, quality fittings. The staff were extremely helpful and wiling to go the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. The food in the restaurant was first class and good value for money ( best risotto I have tasted).

AustraliaNothing - this was a fantastic hotel and we can't believe that we didn't know about it already.
This property is in a fantastic location - minutes from the MCG, on the main streets of Richmond, and a short tram ride into the city of Melbourne. There were plenty of eateries around the property to choose from. The staff were amazing. We stayed there for two nights, with my child having surgery at the nearby Epworth Hospital, and all staff were very attentive to all of our needs (24 hours). The rooms were very comfortable with plenty of space, free movies on the TV to keep my recovering kid satisfied, along with excellent free internet. Bathrooms were spacious and superbly appointed. I would highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay here again for other events in the city.

AustraliaThe hotel staff were nothing short of amazing. I had specific requests and Celestine at reception did everything she could without over-promising — the essence of exceptional customer service. She helped make travelling with a toddler much easier. From help with food and beverage orders (cafe/restaurant) to local tram guidance (front office), they were outstanding. The location is perfect, right on the tram line on the Main Street of Richmond, however the hotel is very quiet. The room and hotel eclectic furnishings were all beautiful — new, sparkling clean and contemporary (without being too garish). Thank you, and special thanks to Celestine — you truly are an invaluable asset to The Motley.
