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.).

AustraliaTraffic noise was terrible, hit was the worst part of our stay. One room faced the road this was really bad for traffic noise especially the trams. The other room was also very noisy with refuse collection and general traffic.
Hotel had a lovely old world feel, like stepping back in time. The decor and ambiance was great. The staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast was good, and the rooms were beautiful.

AustraliaDidn’t ask, but would have preferred a room closer to lift (arthritis!). I tried to use the upgrade option from a Booking.com email, but it wouldn’t work. We’ve stayed here many times before. In the past reception staff have known this and acknowledged it, with small courtesies … Not so, this time … Don’t “expect” it, but it’s nice when it happens …
Have stayed many times before. Love its distinctive Victorian architecture and “olde-world” charm.

Australia1)There was no supporting rail/bar to assist in getting in and out of the bath. This was definately an issue that needs to be addressed. 2)Please include a few chairs, other than stools, in the Cricketer's Bar.

AustraliaThe little alcove for coffee making was dark and the lights not working. For the price of the room, a small pod coffee machine would have been more appreciated than the cheap instant sachets. I had to ask for milk as there was none in the room. The towels in the bathroom were on a rack above the bath and too high for me to reach. The shower in my room was over the bath and as a 73yo I felt it too hazardous to climb in and out wet so forwent a shower. The floors are old timber and even though the ceilings are at least 12 foot high the timber creaking from other levels were obvious with walking about. The food was nice but service for breakfast could've been quicker. Service by staff was exaggerated when it came and very formal. Napkins were placed on customer laps long before any food served.
This is a heritage listed building and the decor is amazing.

AustraliaThe bed rolled away from the wall. You couldn’t sit up in bed. The room was too hot and the air temperature couldn’t be changed. It was also a very noisy airconditioning unit.

AustraliaArrival parking can be a little tricky if traffic is busy with limited drop off spots, however vigilant Concierge does a great job. This includes assistance with luggage and alternative parking which is nearby. Try to avoid peak hours.
Another wonderful stay at the historic Windsor hotel which is in a great location. We value cleanliness and comfort, and the hotel excels in both. As well, the staff were very helpful and courteous. Breakfasts were delicious and The Windsor is surrounded by many dining options. We look forward to returning again.

AustraliaMy daughter booked one night for our anniversary and I booked a second night. It seemed to cause a lot of confusion. I rang to confirm then at check in confirmed again, the next morning someone just walked into our room luckily I had the chain on the door. I explained again that we had back to back bookings and that I had confirmed twice. I asked if he wanted us to check out and check back in again he said no need too. We were out all day and someone rang my daughter asking her to pay for the second night. I think this is unacceptable as could be a breach of privacy. I paid on my return to the hotel, don’t know why they just didn’t call me. Everything else was great that was annoying as I rang and then confirmed twice. Regards Helen Chaplin

ThailandThe room reserved was not correct to the one we received. In description said the bed there were 2 queen size beds but received a queen-only one.
The location is in the middle of the city, facilities are very good. The staff's assistance and decision making was very impressive, even though the room we received may not be as originally reserved.

AustraliaThe hotel to be fair is old. The furniture in the room was old and dated with a broken drawer handle. The fridge leaked and not enough tea or milk was left each day.
It’s obviously in a great location. The bedding and towels were changed regularly. The room was adequate.
