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.).

AustraliaA few a little things. One toilet I went to,the door latch was a bit sketchy and it almost got stuck.I thought for a moment am I gonna be stuck in here? And one shower room didn't have a light working. I don't like if you pay for something at the bar with card you get a surcharge.
The location was fantastic! Right in the middle of it all. I felt sceptical about staying in a pub room but I was pleasantly surprised! My room felt clean and secure. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's a nice pub to have a few casual drinks at. I liked the whole Reschs Beer theme of it. The beer and ginger beer tasted good. I tried a Brisket pie and was very tasty!

New ZealandRoom on the street noisy. I asked to love after first night to a new room didn’t even get a response. It’s not accessible. I recently broke my leg so going up the stairs with my bag was hell, having to go up more stairs to the shower was not great.

AustraliaIf there was a table it would be good. There isn't a TV, so if you watch something on a laptop or tablet (the WiFi sometimes cut out while listening to streamed music), it is difficult. In a double room there is only one chair. Other city pubs offer a kettle for tea/coffee, a microwave and fridge (sometimes in the room or shared). This would be a good improvement. The humidity was high while I was there and the ceiling fan worked, but there is no air con and it was unpleasant. The location is central and great, but if you are a light sleeper, it would be better to choose elsewhere.
It was clean. The downstairs bar staff were very friendly.

AustraliaThe light from Liverpool street was very bright and wasn’t blocked out by the blinds. Understandable because it’s a Main Street. Perhaps some block out blinds of a different design would be beneficial.
Comfy bed. Very helpful to have a sink in each room. Easy access due to personalised codes

AustraliaWhile there were two fans in our room it was quite hot even in October. There was an air con but we could not find the controller. No noise from neighbours or downstairs but lots of noise from outside all night. Bring earplugs!
Beds were comfortable, toilet was clean, neighbours were quiet. We didn’t have to speak to anyone to get into the room, or at any point in our stay. Friendly staff however! Perfect for introverts. Right next to metro theatre too where we saw a concert. No problems as a queer couple either! Highly recommend

AustraliaSuper comfy beds and pillows, clean, cute, amazing location, what else could you want. My room was on the top level so the street noise was minimal. What an amazing budget option, would be happy to stay here again. The sink in the room is a huge bonus and there are plenty of the shared, lockable bathroom facilities, which are nicely modernised. The check in system with the codes is also very clever. It's all very well thought out.

AustraliaThe noise! You MUST bring earplugs, the silicon ones work best. You are staying on the main strip in Sydney and. As expected, there are night clubs surrounding you. This is fine if you have earplugs, but a nightmare without.
The bed and linen made the whole experience soooo much better. The room was super clean and the check in system was excellent.

AustraliaQuite noisy and blind doesn't block out light. USB ports didn't work (although I found some behind the bed that did), no tv but there are some in the pub downstairs. Take earplugs!
Great decor, nicely Australian without being jingoist and is centred around what the building was/is. Great location. I think there were a few teething problems but it is going to be a good budget boutique-y experience once sorted. Felt like being in a Peter Carey book.
