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...).

AustraliaThe few things that I didn't like was that the room I booked for two people was more of a room for a single person who was only there for a night or two on a business trip or something. I was hoping to get more amenities like a tiny kitchen or something since we were there for a week. We were provided with coffee and milk and tea and a kettle which was great but we had to make our coffees on the TV unit as it was the only place we could. Would have liked the room to be more suited to a couple. Like a bigger bathroom and shower. Only one of us could fit in the bathroom at a time which got annoying . Maybe I didn't book it properly or choose the right room but would have preferred something a bit bigger for the both of us. When I booked on this website I assumed all the rooms had balconies but ours unfortunately didn't. The room also had small tiny insects crawling around. Not quite sure what they were but was kind of unhygienic. Also, for how much we paid we definitely should have gotten breakfast included on one of the days we were there but that's just my opinion. It's a great hotel, but I wouldn't say it's exceptional. The lobby looks very modern, stunning and fancy but the rooms didn't quite match that vibe. All the furniture including the bathroom looked a lot older.
The hotel itself is in a great spot in the CBD. Walking distance from the esplanade and to all the main food and shopping. The hotel is also nice and the staff are fantastic. Their customer service is great and they checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable. They even ordered a taxi for me and my partner so we could get to the airport. The rooms also get cleaned each day so it was nice to come back to freshly made beds and clean towels. Also the pool was awesome and we loved the fact that you could order drinks in the pool area and drink them whilst in the pool or spa. You could also order small servings of food from the bar to enjoy. Was awesome. Also, if you're doing any down under tours or any exploration, the DoubleTree is included in their list of pickup locations so you don't even need a hire car really, which was another bonus. :) We both enjoyed the stay, but I think my expectations were a little higher 😆

AustraliaNoise coming from the street, the RSL with deliveries and rubbish trucks. But the biggest noise maker and the most annoying was the helicopters. They just never stopped during the day.
Great location, walking distance to everything. The room was pleasant with good outlook. Bathroom was of good size for a single person.

New ZealandI wasn't keen on wee soap sachets in bathroom. I prefer fixed liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner and perhaps body lotion.
Full buffet was fine. Fresh fruits very nice and service was very good. Bed was very comfortable. View wasn't bad considering hotel is a block back from the sea.

New ZealandThinking "…………. We were there only one night , maybe not long enough to find fault ? Overall very happy with what we saw and experienced.
Location of our room was perfect , loved the nice big sunny balcony. View was superb 😊 The overall design of hotel was different ,I liked the way that all ? rooms had a view . The twin beds were very comfy. Check in was easy, we were informed that staff were training so we were aware. Well done. Liked the taxi button on reception desk to hail a taxi.
