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.).

AustraliaMy wife and 3 month old son weren’t allowed to check in without my photo ID. The room was already paid for and she had the card that paid for the room. You can board an airplane without photo ID. Also if you have a car over 2 metres tall the car park will be locked and inaccessible at night an early morning.

New ZealandNo dislikes from me.
The comfort and cleanliness of the rooms were spot on. And staff service was excellent. Restaurant menu had a great selection. Beverages a generous selection. Restaurant area is comfortable, and a great public area to relax also. Breakfast has a good variety and convenience for anyone heading out first thing in the morning.

AustraliaOur room was full of ants which was really off putting , we stayed 2 nights and there was construction going on in the hotel which was fine but along with the room being swarmed with ants made for a disappointing stay. There was also no food available throughout the days or evenings we were there , it’s a good location and staff were friendly but definitely wouldn’t stay again

AustraliaRoom 232 should not be used for accommodation. It surrounds the lift on two sides and as patrons return to their rooms at all hours in lively St Kilda we had around 3 hours during the night where the lift was not in use. Our rest was constantly interrupted between 10 - 2 and 5-8 on a Saturday night/ Sunday morning by the sound of the lift in operation.

United KingdomIt sells itself as a 4* hotel. Having a gym doesn’t count as 4*. On my arrival, after a 30 hour trip, I got to my room, no bottled water, tap running brown. No safe so I am faced with carrying my passport/ cash around with me for five days. There was a restaurant, never saw it open. There was a bar, never saw anyone behind or in front of it. They have a sandwich / wine bar attached nice but not 4* by any stretch of the imagination.
Primarily the location combined with some great staff.

AustraliaThe room smelt mildewy and stale. The light was to bright in the bathroom. The pluming - pipes had a smell. Had to turn on aircon. Upon checkout which was requested of a late checkout being 11am. Had someone from reception banging furiously about 10.50am while already stated on a late checkout. I was already packed,ready to leave. The reception was only 2-3 minutes from the room. This was in the morning of Friday 21 February 2024. Double checked with another receptionist upon checking out if it was noted. She had told me yes it was. The communication upon staff or clarification when it is noted. Is poor.

AustraliaEverything. 1. The customer service is terrible 2. The parking was not as described to me on the phone. My car was on an angle in a terrible spot and we got the last park after calling and trying to book a spot weeks ahead and being told it wouldn’t be necessary because there is plenty of parking. Probably the smallest and most dodgy carpark I’ve ever been in. 3. The hotel was disgusting. My room had an old toilet roll in it that had someone’s faeces inside the toilet roll which I didn’t realise until I’d touched it. 4. The room smelt terrible and was extremely dusty. I was sneezing the entire time. 5. Room hadn’t been cleaned. There was people’s hair and ants all over the place. 6. The room was freezing because they had the aircon on (obviously trying to clear the smell) and it didn’t warm up until the morning. 7. The price was ridiculous for what we experienced. This is not a four star hotel. It is barely a two. Worst of all was the customer service. All of my emails and messages here have been ignored regarding compensation. I have spoken with countless people and they all tell me different stories. Some say it’s gone to management and others say that management must not agree with my case when it hasn’t been escalated at all and no one is contacting me. I can see that this has been an issue for other unhappy customers. Do not stay here! These people will avoid resolution. I gave them the chance to fix it and I was told today to take it further if I wasn’t happy. I will be doing so.
Nothing. It was the worst stay I’ve had.

Everything was great. All staff were excellent from Reception to Cleaners and the Maintenance staff. Before booking this hotel I read the reviews and a lot of them were negative to say the least, but those customers must have been at another establishment as I honestly could not fault this hotel. The hotel also has a café which served great coffee and snacks. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
