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.).

AustraliaWhen you want to sleep in late but the deliveries and restocking of beer kegs at street level wake you up.
Great value, position and staff. The accomodation area is renovated beautifully and also has a share kitchen that can be used. I have stayed before, will stay again when travelling early via the airport or staying over in the city.

AustraliaAt this price, there's nothing not to like
Great value gem in a mighty expensive city. Staff were super friendly on check-in (even with a busy pub to attend to) and the facilities were great. No-frills room but very comfortable and surprisingly modern, our room was well insulated from the pub below. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

AustraliaAbout the comforter, the cover is clean, but inside is yellow and some stain on it. The soundproof isn't very well, but the hotel provides the earplugs in the room, it is nice. If you are a light sleeper, need to think about it. The shower system can be improved.
the location was great just right next to the train station which is easy to get around city. The kitchen has basic amenities which could let you cook some simple food. Down stair has their own bar and kitchen, if you gonna have a drink or food. That is great.

AustraliaMy only complaint is that there was only one toilet available for use on the guest floor in the ladies bathroom. Given that there are a number of rooms that rely this bathroom there really needs to be at least one more toilet available.
The staff were superb - could not have been more helpful and were friendly also. The kitchen for guest use was great and kept very clean. The food at the pub was great. Right next door to St Peter's station and a five minute walk from Newtown station. Buses to Glebe/Coogee/St Alfred's hospital/Sydney Uni just outside the door! Great cafes and restaurants nearby.

United StatesThe room looked more modern in the pictures and the bathroom seems out of a different century. The room had a stale gym smell like the carpets could use a cleaning.
Good price, great location near Newtown and Sydney Park, friendly staff. Shared kitchen and bathroom, restaurant right down stairs that can provide room service.

AustraliaI knew this when I booked, so I'm not complaining but I think it's important for people (especially for those from Europe/colder climates travelling in the Australian summer) to know that there's no air con in the rooms. I was very comfortable with the window open and the fan on though.
Great pub accommodation. All of the staff were wonderful and it's a fantastic location. I accidentally left my tablet in my room when I checked out and one of the staff posted it to me afterwards (thanks Will!). Excellent bar downstairs too.

AustraliaGoing out at 10 pm to look for milk for my late night cuppa. Luckily there was a servo near by that sold us some. Otherwise all was good.
Really good value pub accomodation right in the middle of Sydney. Loved the rustic atmosphere and the area was quieter than I thought it would be. The bed was clean and comfy and the staff were very friendly. Loved it.
