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 room was poorly appointed for the price. Things didn’t work. The fridge went off when you left the room. The fruit in the room when we arrived was rotten. My booking indicated they would charge 1.5 % credit card fee but they charged 2% when I raised it they said the booking company had the wrong information. The booking also indicated a mini bar but they did not have one in the room. The tv didn’t work as it should but they couldn’t fix it. The computer system made keeping track of room charges very difficult. Waste food and dishes were left next to the central lift for days. When I mentioned it to the front desk it was removed immediately .
Location. Right near city and sea side. The staff were excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast area and pool were very nicely presented. The restraunt food was very good.

AustraliaThe only issue was one of the lifts wasn’t working for 3 days so the other one was working over time and took so long, we even used the emergency exit stairs.
Great location for what we needed. Nice staff, good pool area and good buffet breakfast.

AustraliaVery old and tired room that smelt. Insufficient staff to cope with guest numbers, particularly in F&B. Room we were allocated was clearly not for us as amenity in room for a different guest. Hotel attempted to take payment from credit card unauthorised numerous times that resulted in my card being blocked and situation still not rectified. This affected all linked accounts which meant my husband couldn’t use his card either.

AustraliaTerrible room location. It overlooked a generator/boiler which was noisey. Also early morning truck delivery/pick up also noisey with truck backing out noise, and room opposite was guest laundry, also noisey from time to time including early morning. Recommend this room is unsuitable for paying guests!
Room had a balcony & could opt for open air or air con.
