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.).

AustraliaThe WiFi was not always working well or some days not working at all even after a change of router. It would be nice to be aware on arrival about BBQ accessories and laundry area available on arrival. Flooded floor after shower.
Not too far from the city center (15min-ish). Some minutes from esplanade. Some bars and take away next door. The breakfast brought to the room feels fancy. Nice pool and bbq area. The nice staff makes all the difference!

AustraliaIt's perfectly fine for what it is. If you don't have a car, being more into the CBD would be worthwhile.
Very good value for money. Good location with free parking. Rooms are typical motel fare but very comfortable. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was a simple affair but did the trick.

On time and all that I ordered. Best part was that the bread was fresh and the room had a toaster so had warm toast instead of cold soggy toast.

New ZealandWe stayed 22 nights. There was rubbish under the bed when we arrived, it was still there when we left. One day, our door was left ajar by the cleaner while we were out for the day. We booked this motel for the swimming pool area, but the pool was so cold we only used it once. Very disappointing.
Breakfast delivered to our room each morning. Linen changed every 5 days. Towels daily, or as required. Bus transport handy.

AustraliaDidn’t like getting back to our room & seeing door hadn’t been closed properly after room cleaning. We had bread wrapped in a paper bag left over from breakfast & on returning from a day out, it was thick with ants as was the kitchen bench.
Breakfast good. Location good, bus stop close by.

AustraliaI don’t think the motel should be described as being “in the heart of Darwin city”, as per the website tagline. A little bit dated and the aircon was particularly noisey.
Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was a bonus. The pool was a welcome relief in the Darwin sun. Thanks for the laundry facilities.

AustraliaThe shower taps were a bit hard to move at first. Difficult to regulate the water temperature. Also the aircon was very noisy so it was a choice between letting the room heat up overnight or having quiet to be able to sleep.
The location was great, nice and quiet and convenient to get into the cbd. The room was comfortable with everything I needed. The staff were excellent.
