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...).

GermanyNo complaints at all
We were very pleased with our three-night stay at the Darwin City Hotel. Our apartment was unusually spacious, it was very well equipped, it was in excellent condition and it was very clean. Moreover, the apartment was quiet and bright, it was attractively furnished, the lift/elevator was reliable, and our room was nicely serviced each day. With respect to equipment and facilities, our apartment had a high-end washing machine, a dishwasher, plenty of cutlery, crockery, etc., sufficient closets and shelves, and proper curtains. The bed, too, was very good. The WiFi worked well. While we were very pleased with our apartment and were delighted by the affordable price structure of the Darwin City Hotel, we would not describe the hotel as elegant or as sleek and striking. Rather we would describe it as comfortable, convenient and restful.

AustraliaThe only thing that I didn’t like was because I was at the ground floor and it was a little noisy with young people arriving late at night and speaking loudly .
The room was spacious and clean and the location is excellent, just walking distance to restaurants, convenient stores and waterfront.

AustraliaNoise from outside venues at weekend. Airconditioning worked too well - unable to adjust the temperature. Incorrect information regarding drinking tap water in Darwin by guest services.
Central location. Floors not carpeted. Staff friendly and helpful. Day after I arrived, room change as the t.v. was not working - both male and female staff very kind. Christing (housekeeping) did a great job.

AustraliaThe weekday servicing could be improved, not impressed. The couch is uncomfortable and the pillows need replacing. It would be good to check every room/apartment once a year and replace what is missing, ie utensils, glasses etc and repair what is damaged - the clothes airer was rusty and broken and I was worried about the rust staining clothes. Only 2 coat hangers were provided in the closet.
Great location! Right in the City but still quiet.
