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.).

AustraliaNo view to speak of which was disappointing, but given the location there is really no view to be had.
The a la carte breakfast was good. You can have a $40pp breakfast if you like. Very central and handy to walk around the CBD

AustraliaRoom could do with more hooks in the entrance for coats (was raining) and in the bathroom. Found the dining onsite a bit overpriced and the change ofmenu at 11am to be problematic. On a Saturday looking for late breakfast a la carte and nothing was appealing on the lunch/evening menu to meet that need so went elsewhere. Spice bar advertised some form of happy hour, but the menu didnt present that. had a $25 cocktail that had an additional weekend service charge added on. Dissapointing. Surcharges generally, booked online but then paid further surcharges on top of online price. Think that is deceitful
room was spacious, well appointed, modern and good use of tech. Reception was friendly and helpful. Used an umbrella during the stay which was useful. $20 Environment credit a good inititive. Did not need room servicing for a weekend stay.

Australiathe bathroom layout. there was no privacy and no hook in the shower unit to hang a towel or robe. because of the no privacy we didn't have a shower there, we travelled home to have one. I don't know what people would do if they were staying there with a friend or on a business trip and sharing a room with a business colleague.
the newness and the staff member at check in was very helpful.

United StatesWould be great to have drinking water/ mini bar or room service as it is a little bit far from food after working hours.
My third time staying here for work. Boutique but very grand and high-end, very value-for-money with this price and location and very silent environment, especially for business travellers. Staff is nice, room is clean with good smell. Basically I like staying here and can sleep very well.

New ZealandThe staff were pleasant, however I found every staff member I spoke with very difficult to understand. I am used to hearing a variety of different accents, however, people were speaking fast and at low volume levels which made it difficult. I had to ask people to repeat themselves on multiple occasions which I do not enjoy as I feel it comes across as rude. Also, when checking in we asked for a late checkout to which the staff member told us our check out would be 12pm, and there was no addittional charge. I'm not sure if she forgot to confirm the late checkout as on the day of checkout staff were calling us, and remind us that checkout was at 11 - so there was some confusion there. These were all minor issues, but took away from us having a perfect stay with you. The room service menu was some what limited and the rooms could benefit from perhaps some drinks in the fridge (maybe some cans of fizzy drink?) and perhaps a snack bar.
The rooms were modern, comfy and well presented. The modern technology was excellent. The room service delivery was very fast. The hotel reception and wine bar/cafe were gorgeous. The location was great. and even though there were roadworks outside it was still easy to get to/from this location.
