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.).

AustraliaIt was very noisy outside throughout the night of which really has nothing to do with the accommodation. There was an event nearby and it went on for quite some time. It was still quite noisy when the event ended.
Great location. Light rail is right in front of the property. Parking was easy enough and right across the street. Comfortable bed.

AustraliaOur apartment had a kitchen but equipment supplied is very minimal. The assumption is that residents eat out or bring back takeaway. We had what we needed but a couple of normal sized wine glasses ( rather than the 2 tiny ones we had ), would have been useful. We stayed on the 7th floor and faced George st. Our stay was on a Saturday night and there was a bit of noise from the street, despite the double glazing. We are both insomniacs and I doubt it would bother most people.
The location is very convenient, with the light rail Chinatown stop just outside on George St. There are more local eating places in the surrounding streets than I can count . Dixon St (Chinatown) is a 2 min walk away and getting anywhere is easy. Reception staff were exceptional and gave us an upgrade to a 1bedroom apt rather than the king studio we'd booked. The building is well maintained and rooms are quite spacious and comfortable . Soundproofing is good.

AustraliaThe bathrooms are a little outdated but for the price we paid its something that can be overlooked but other then that nothing else.
The location is so central to everything you need, literally a 20m walk to the light rail to head to circular quay or to the back side of capitol square to head over to the casino. Staff at reception where brilliant and very accomidating along with the best bang for buck you can buy for 5 nights in such a prime location.

AustraliaMy only gripe is two small things that aren’t major… the lifts are a bit creaky and slow so make sure if you are wanting to leave quickly especially at check out time to give yourself plenty of time. Also my bathroom is looking quite dated and aged, the tiles need grouting and the bathtub is looking well worn that it was showing cracks. Overall though it is exceptionally clean and like I said, these are minor gripes and probably already on the maintenance list for the hotel.
I have been and used this place many times when it was Breakfree on George. Now it is Mantra, it’s nice to see not much has changed, the new bonus is for accessibility issues iris right out front the Chinatown tram stop, they still hold your luggage for you for the day at check in or check out free of charge, the staff are still so accommodating and friendly with great knowledge of the best local spots and the rooms are still so comfy. I like their sustainability approaches from wooden key cards to vegan friendly toiletries that are Devine! Overall as always I’m happy to stay here :)
