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.).

AustraliaNothing, all fabulous
We were upgraded to a King Suite overlooking Fitzroy Street, really roomy, such a comfy bed, great facilities, lovely shampoo, conditioner and body wash. If there was one thing to add (if anything) would be a little shelf to pop a make-up bag, toilet bag on - but that's it.

AustraliaWe had a very enjoyable stay at The Prince. The check in was easy and the desk manager was super helpful and friendly. The room was well appointed and very clean. The Bose speakers were a nice addition. We enjoyed a few wines at the Little Prince wine bar. We’ll definitely book here again. A great spot when attending a show at the Palais.

AustraliaThe bed was very uncomfortable large dip in the middle. Only 1 chair for the dinning table in a double room and no where to put your luggage other than the floor. Perhaps a couple of hooks in the bathroom wouldn't go astray either.
Great location, the staff were exceptional particularly in the bar and restaurant. The building was very well renovated.

AustraliaThe rooms have been nicely renovated and are pleasant and clean. Staff who came to clean were pleasant and di a good job. Bed and bedding very comfortable but our room had limited outside views which made it a bit claustrophobic. Best use has been used of small space. Some of the furniture in bedrooms and reception area were a little old or stained.
the Prince is right in the heart of St Kilda. It is a lovely art deco building and I very much enjoyed staring at the moulded ceiling in the bar. The events and public areas have been really nicely restored and are elegant and inviting , the garden area is central and the greenery can be seen elsewhere in the building Wine and food were great , staff lovely and it felt a bit like going down to the local pub. Sitting outside the pub in the sun on colder days was bonus.

AustraliaCharged us for a bottle of water we didn't take. We never use the Mimi bar so not sure if it hadn't been restocked from the previous people. But if that's the worst complaint then they are doing a great job.
Great place to stay. Around the corner from the espy and the beach and tram stop across the road. Will stay again for sure.
