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.).

United KingdomThere was a strange noise throughout the night every night like taps being turned on and off. Not always enough to wake you up but a bit annoying. Lack of storage and some major space wasted where could easily have put more storage such as under the sink, in the twin bed room and in the main room under the desk. Shower overflowed initially and had to get someone to come and look at it and the wifi wasn't secure and was very intermittent.
Room was a good size with plenty of space and well located with a view over the pool. It was a shame there was no ocean view but nice to have regular visits from the cockatoos! Mostly quiet and peaceful

AustraliaI thought the price charged per night was in excess of what this property deserves to charge. My room felt old and tired - more like a self catering apartment than a 4 star hotel. It is good that the property has a restaurant on site, but I was surprised to see that there is no option for breakfast other than to head to one of the nearby cafes. That is not really an issue, but I had expected that a hotel like the Sebel would have had a breakfast option available.
Proximity to both the beach and the Manly ferry

United KingdomThe Hotel has 2 buildings, and the Sebel Building behind has rooms with a glimpse of the sea, between 2 buildings, not a "view" of it.
extremely comfortable bed, very nice room and bathroom, on the beach and provided towels to take down to beach for a swim. Good snorkelling in the Marine reserve area, near the hotel. Good restaurant/ cafe next door.

AustraliaHousekeeping seemed to be short staffed- I didn't have my bed made while I was there. A young man was around but not when I put out the sign on my door. Perhaps they need a system to notify when would be a convenient time for room service.
The location was really good- close to the beach,corso , transport and shops. The room was bigger than I expected and very comfortable. A microwave would havebeen a great inclusion, as I thought meals were fairly expensive. I thought that the bathroom (beautifully big) was poorly designed-when you wanted to wash your hands, one end of the large bench contained handwash, then back to the middle to access the tap and then to the other end where the hand towels were. The bed was extremely comfortable.

SwedenThere's no breakfast. And it's not the nicest way when you walk to the annex behind the first hotel over a parking lot.
I like the staff! The room is very big and spacious. It's clean and nice. But a bit disappointed that we ended up in the annex that's behind the hotel. The pool is much nicer in the other building så we used that one.

United KingdomThe Sebel on the whole met our expectations well, directly opposite the beach, had a pool. We had asked for the rooms to be close together, but were communicated well that the rooms were in different blocks. However, these blocks are not right next to each other, it was a 2 min walk to get to the other block, which when your teenage children are in different blocks was too far. Our room wasn’t cleaned on 2 occasions which although was an oversight, was not good enough.

AustraliaParking is a problem in the area so make sure your car can fit under this property otherwise it's a long walk or you can't get a car park at all. As it's dual property they do have another carpark under Peppers they'll let you use.
Great location and spacious room with everything in walking distance, food, walks, beaches. Also a little pool at the back of this property lovely area and got sun during the day. Laundry room here too if you need it.
