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.).

AustraliaVery slow at checkin and felt we weren't warmly greeted (no cookie! Regular Doubletree guests will understand) . Despite booking parking ahead we were unable to get a park on the property and had to use a public carpark a block away. This was remedied on day 2 and 3 of the stay. Trying to order breakfast was a strange experience as they don't take orders the night before. It was like nobody had ever heard of this concept which is the normal at every other hotel chain. It took a phone call a long hold period and 3 staff then attendance back at the reception and hotel restaurant in person and I spoke to multiple people we were advised to use the QR code in a menu on the tv screen in the room to order in the morning. We had an early booking to go sailing so were anxious about ordering at 6.45am and then waiting but in the end it did come in time. It was like the system works one way but there was no experience in the staff to explain it other than 'use the QR code tomorrow'. Rooms are very small as seems to be the way in all the newer Hobart hotels. Certainly no room to sit around and relax except on the bed or a very small table.
Nice view from our King Mountainview room of Mt Wellington. Very clean and well kept hotel. Loved the indoor pool. Parking was good when we got it.

AustraliaThe breakfast was too dear and a lot of the buffet food was cold. We were told there was no charge for parking but then were charged for two nights.
Great location with good staff and nice clean amenities. All the staff from the front counter, restaurant and on site staff were excellent.

AustraliaLate night check in was a bit hit and miss. We weren’t given instructions about parking nor internet (which were apparently free). We were charged for a night of parking which could not be refunded. Internet was charged and then was apparently free (they credit this). These little things were a bit sloppy for a good hotel.
Rooms are recently renovated and thoughtfully appointed. So we had a very comfortable stay. Staff were really terrific and made us feel very welcome.

AustraliaSometimes in the pool area dirty dishes were sitting around for long hours and it wasn’t a busy hour. Also the pillows were a bit uncomfortable. They could have added a bit of variety at the cheese and ham section.
The hotel is very nice, the reception very pleasant and there is also a large playground opposite the hotel. The room had everything we needed and we slept in comfortable beds. The cleaner did a fantastic job cleaning and providing with everything we needed every day. The pool was fantastic and the staff provided towels for us and were always there to help with everything. The best part was that there was always free cold water to refresh yourself when you got out of the pool, something that you don’t see everywhere. Breakfast was really good! They provided for us free parking and free wifi and that was definitely a bonus! We will definitely go back!

AustraliaDouble room was tiny with limited room for suitcases so we paid to upgrade to a 1 bedroom which gave us a king bed and a fold out sofa which was not great (spring sticking out) and was made up with a quilt cover as the bottom sheet and a blanket.. probably would have been nice to be made up as a proper bed with a nice soft quilt with a top sheet also. The light behind the TV in bedroom made a buzzing noise so we left it off, then on morning of check out there were people fixing the lift which was continuous drilling noise for hours whilst we were still trying to sleep.. I understand works need to be completed but to start around 8am when guests are still sleeping and to be such a continual vibrating/drilling noise was a bit disappointing.
Staff were lovley, breakfast had lots of options, staff were very quick to accommodate when extra blankets were requested, lifts very fast, air-conditioning worked well. Main beds comfortable.
