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...).

AustraliaOnly minor issue is day parking - you'll need to look around as there isn't anything available near-by during the day. The propritor has suggestions, but there are paid car parks within 1km.
Gorgeous and quirky presentation. Lovely service with someone who clearly cares about the building and business. THey offer a very basic (and very cheap) breakfast option. The location is perfect with comfortable walking distance to the harbour front shops and eatieries, museums and markets.

I love staying at the Astor! Tildy and Neil went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and accomodate my requests. The shared bathrooms are super clean, it’s fabulous budget accommodation.

AustraliaThe 1830 ‘s lift old style , so chose the stairs and walked up with heavy luggage to reception on first floor about 20 steps -if I knew before I arrived I would have put my luggage in lift and picked it up on first level , it was as simple as that - and that’s what I did when I left
Warm friendly homely greeting from the amazing colourful couple that reside in and manage this one of a kind boutique hotel , they were more than happy to be of service in any way , the boutique hotel was decorated in an eclectic style , almost biographical of a by gone era , with luxurious coloured velvet feel carpets , beautiful paintings and decor , fresh flowers throughout , and a lovely communal lounge if you want to connect with others .- breakfast simple but adequate , will definitely return to same place to these lovely hosts .

AustraliaThis is a very quaint, personable, family run hotel, right in the heart of Hobart. A wonderful place to stay, if you are looking for a more historic experience in such a beautiful location. Just a stones throw from Salamanca Place, we had a very enjoyable stay and can't wait to go back again. Landlady, Tildy also adds to the experience with her wit, vibrancy and local knowledge. I would not hesitate to recommend the Astor Hotel to anyone wanting to enjoy the real Hobart vibe.

AustraliaWasn't anything that was a problem.
We thought this hotel was fantastic, it is a step into the past of 1920's or 1930's hotel accommodation. This is what we were expecting and enjoyed it immensely. However, if you are someone who expects a heated pool and 24hr room service this hotel is probably not for you, It is a time capsule of an earlier period spectacularly well maintained and in a central location where most of Hobart CBD and the port area is a short walk away. The owners of the hotel make up the staff and are very friendly and were very helpful accommodating any of our requests. As an aside the restaurant located on the ground floor "The Astor Grill" is not associated with the hotel, but the meal we enjoyed there was brilliant, great food and excellent service while maintaining the "old world" feel of the whole building.... highly recommended. We would definitely return to The Astor Private Hotel when next in Hobart.

FinlandIf you are looking for multi-international, high-end, overpriced and soulless accomondation, don´t come here. If you are looking for value for money and a place with humanity, colourfullness, personality, history, stories, encounters and great hosts, you have it in Astor.

JapanAs the hotel is very classic, there is no elevator (but there is a lift for luggage, which is cute and fun!).
Very classic hotel, start operating in 1922, as I heard. Lovely, kind and very nice owners. Good location! No air conditioning, but there is a big fan on the sealing, and it worked well when it was hot weather. I didn’t have a chance to try, but there is a classic fabulous restaurant located on the ground floor., and it looked popular for local people.
