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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Switzerlandas it is in northbridge, it was quite noisy if you had the window open from the streets, bars&clubs. but nothing earplugs can‘t mend, or if you close the window.
the staff was very helpful and the interior is modern. the room is not big but you have everything you need, especially a very comfy bed&nice shower. the rooftop and the lounge&reception area are nicely done and invite to hang arround! the location is just next to the train station, very easy access to eg. the airport. many bars&restaurants arround, as it is in the trendy neighborhood northbridge.

Australiaroom was a little stuffy and didn't smell fresh at all - the shower soaps weren't the WA brand anymore and have been changed to one made in china, and the amazing muesli dropped a notch in quality, small details but make a big difference.

United KingdomReally enjoyed staying here. Staff were extremely friendly, approachable & helpful throughout. The hotel had a quirky layout with comfortable rooms and chilled tap water available at all times. The lounge areas on the roof & lobby are lovely with lots of character. We also appreciated the refreshment vouchers for days where we declined housekeeping - good environmental initiative.

The Hotel Alex is very stylish, well located in the heart of Northbridge, Perth - close to the nightlife of the city. The room was big and clean, the staff very helpful. The lobby was wonderful modern with a bar, which I enjoyed.

GermanyGood location close to Perth station - ideal for travellers without car. The room was relatively small and we missed a space to store our clothes. The room was new, clean and I slept very well in the bed. The bathroom is in a very good condition. Breakfast is not ideal for carnivores but ok for others.

Taiwan1. Great location – very close to the train station. 2. The staff were friendly and helpful. 3. Clean and comfortable. 4. Free water, coffee, and tea were provided. 5. The bed and pillows were super comfy. 6. The shared areas were really beautiful. 7. Lots of great restaurants nearby. All of this made my stay in Perth a wonderful experience! Maybe it’s just a cultural difference, but I was surprised that the bar next to the hotel started playing loud music around 10 PM and continued until 1 AM. 😳 In my country, that would actually be illegal. However, it didn’t really affect my sleep, and the hotel thoughtfully provided earplugs, which I really appreciated.

AustraliaLovely boutique hotel in the heart of Northbridge and yet felt really private once inside. Lovely clean room and amenities. Was surprised not to have a fridge in the room which is somewhat inconvenient, we like to keep drinks and snacks in the room. Also no wardrobe or draws, just a couple of hangers on the wall which I guess makes sense for saving space. On check in wasn’t explained that their was a fridge on level one with bottled water for the rooms, or that there were iron and ironing boards available in storage. Check in could have been warmer with instructions on these things. Also, had booked additional night and was called half way through stay wondering why we hadn’t checked out, so what should have been arranged on check in wasn’t. Positive note though on the staff, they were happy to store our equipment we hadn’t checked for an event, under the stair case when it wasn’t being used until we left. Continental breakfast was minimal but lovely all the same and included barista coffee and lovely service by attendant. Lots of lovely common areas and lobby bar downstairs. More pros than cons and we would stay again.
