Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The bathroom had a weird smell, don’t know if it was the pipes or if it wasn’t clean with the right products. Overall the cleanliness could be much better in the room and bathroom. The shampoo, conditioner and soap are in dispensers but they were empty or almost empty. The car park is not included in the price and it is really expensive, considering that it had no cover and what made it private was a fence that anyone can jump.
The air conditioning worked really well and the receptionist was really helpful and friendly.

There are no bedside tables or cupboards or shelving to put my things. The air-conditioning wasn't on so the room was boiling and stuffy. The milk for coffee was frozen to the fridge The fridge had a gross brown tray sitting in it. If you book online they surprise you at the door with a $100 security bond. It is refunded but the online system did NOT mention it

The hotel didn't specify that its reception was on a different street. My room had nowhere to sit or hang clothes, but it felt like the place was being renovated, so perhaps it'll be better post-renovation.
Good location. Helpful to have 24-hour reception when many flights arrive in Darwin after midnight. Comfortable bathroom and decent bed.

- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
There wasn't much sound proofing from the hallway, so it was noisy every time a door slammed or a bag was pulled along the floor. I had trouble finding the entrance because the actual street address was just a gated car park and a small sign for the hotel and address for reception was graffitied over. The entrance to check in was two streets back.
I only needed the room for the afternoon and evening while I waited for my flight home, so this small budget hotel suited me. It was clean and had good bathroom amenities. Being in a central location it was quick to come and go as I did last minute activities. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Absolutely no storage space: no table, desk or bedside cabinet of any description; no drawers; no wardrobe. Not even a hook to hang a coat. Forced to live out of a suitcase throughout my stay. Only space was on top of fridge which was taken up by tea making facilities. Power and usb sockets provided but devices left dangling as no surface to lay them on. bathroom had stains on floor around toilet and skirting board; I found a toenail (not mine) on the bedroom carpet. Towels changed daily, which wasn’t necessary, bed made once (not a problem, just a bit random).
Great location for all local attractions and amenities. Friendly, helpful staff. Laundry facility was useful (but would be better if could pay by card rather than hunting for requisite combination of$1 and $2)

Reception was in another building across the road, I was lost when I arrived, Nothing telling me so had to call then walk around 2 blocks to get into reception front door. Bed was bad. Uncomfortable mattress on a cheap and nasty bed frame. Their were long hairs that were not mine in the bed and bathroom. No toilet brush in bathroom and room did not get cleaned in the 4 night stay I was there.
Walking distance to things in Darwin City. Onsite gated parking.
