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.).

AustraliaMy room didn't come with all that was advertised for the room. It didn't have a microwave, the TV remote didn't work, there was no safe, and the door was difficult opening. Just need someone checking off before patrons arrive.
Staff were super friendly. Grounds kept so green and gave you that feeling of being secluded from the hustle and bustle of the nearby road and community. I was pleased to discover that the hotel runs a shuttle service to the city's main mall. The room was spacious, and there was a proper size fridge. The local cuisine was👌

Sri LankaThe swimming pool was out of order The food portion was too big we couldn't finish it and wasted For lunch we ordered a seafood platter, it was battered fried calamari prawns and fish, it's not a seafood platter. Tuna made our mouths itchy we didn't eat it they offered us cake instead, it's appropriate if they didn't charge for it. Steak was supposed to be well-done but it was a bit burned The room AC was not cool enough it was so warm at night that we couldn't sleep. The safety locker was not working. The reception staff called our room for a wake-up call that we didn't request. TV channels are limited compared to other hotels.
Most of the staffs are very friendly Food is reasonably priced Good location it was peaceful Tuna made our mouths itchy and the staff offered us free cake although we couldn't accept we were already full.

New ZealandThese are not major gripes - would be easy to attend to. The room had a continuously running toilet (had to remove the cistern top to stop it) and bathroom door was difficult to close - not ideal for a twin room. Housekeeping supplies inconsistent (bathmats, face towels available one day and not the next) or not topped up (tea/ coffee).
Staff are fantastic - friendly, courteous, helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The staff are a real asset and set the Sanctuary apart from other hotels. Rooms are comfortable.

GermanyThe pool area could use an uplift and was a bit smelly but might be due to the water shortage at that time. Its just suprising a big hotel like that doesnt have any water backup.
In general a nice hotel for Port Moresby. I like the restaurant and relaxing areas with proper kept animals and green surrounding. The rooms are according to the local standard but decent.

New ZealandIt would be good to have a small shop/kiosk to buy snacks aside from the restaurant, especially for those of us who did not venture beyond the hotel. Not a great variety of food choices if you were vegetarian.
The staff are superb. My room was large and light, which is good as I was there for a week. The bathroom was fine, bed very comfortable, a small fridge. I only swam twice, the pool is not big but was clean. Breakfast was very good, although nothing happens very fast. Internet worked well across the whole site, just one disconnect. I took my own wine and was able to drink it in the restaurant.

IrelandThere are a lot of plants throughout the hotel which means there are a lot of mosquitos around unfortunately.
The hotel is a pleasant sanctuary, a short trip from the airport. Transport was waiting at the airport to collect as expected. We were brought punctually to the airport the following morning. The staff were pleasant. The hotel was large with a good restaurant in it.
