Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWe had a fabulous studio , BUT the entry door failed to open after we’d dropped our luggage off. The staff were accommodating and the manager offered us a drink in the bar as he thought it would be a quick fix. It took over an hour and were then told we were being moved to a “superior suite” . It wasn’t better, it had smaller bathrooms, but it had a balcony which was no use to us. Breakfast was good, but I got the impression that it was not a well maintained hotel, eg the safe didn’t work (in the 1st room), the 1 lift had access to all floors unlike the other 2 which could only be accessed with the security key. The signage on doors and lifts had broken lettering and the lift floor at the doors needed to be repaired. It’s a great location despite the unpleasant experience.

AustraliaThe coffee wasn’t great. Not great flavour and considering Melbourne is known for its coffee and there are so many fantastic coffee roasters out there it could be much better.
The food and drinks at the bar were very good and the room service breakfast was quick and good. Great views from my balcony and large lounge & dinning space.

New ZealandIt was perfectly located close to the train station to get around the city. The room was well set up for a family - the kitchenette was well equipped and the dish drawer was a bonus - although we mainly ate out, it meant we could have a few simple meals in our room. As a family of 4 sharing a twin room, the room was more spacious than most and we felt we had plenty of space for our weeks stay. Plus the pool was a lovely extra especially at the end of a hot day. The staff were very friendly and we particularly appreciated being able to check in early.
