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.).

SingaporeWe had an amazing stay! The beds were comfortable, and the toilet was clean. The location of the motel is just a few minutes away from the Three Sisters Lookout via foot. Would highly recommend those who would love to stay within walking distance with Echo Point lookout at Katoomba, Blue Mountains.

AustraliaThat I couldn’t stay longer :-)
Probably one of the greatest motels I’ve ever stayed whilst in the Katoomba area. Friendly, professional and very welcoming staff, gorgeous healthy budget friendly breakfast, comfortable bed and clean room and beautiful outdoor grass area that overlooks the magnificent blue mountains. Definitely recommend and 100% will return.

AustraliaUpon check-in administration person seemed inconvenienced by our arrival. Could improve having a toaster, freezer, shower drain loose and toilet didn't flush very well.
Very short walk from world-class sight-seeing: Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls. Very short driving distance and must see: Wentworth Falls and Valley of Waters Track (7 waterfalls on one trail). Best value in terms of price. Excellent room size, beds, and bathroom vanity. Bonus housekeeping clean everyday by professional housekeepers that do an amazing job.

AustraliaGreat size room only downside is lack of kitchenette sink if that's important for you. Kettle will fit under bathroom sink on an angle. For the room price, view and only a night or two. Not really an issue.
Room 101 closest to the gazebo in the photo. Great view from the windows. Staring straight down the street to the valley views. Heating on in the room before arrival was appreciated. One of the quietest mini fridges I've experienced. Comfy bed.

AustraliaOur booking confirmation told us it was an inside room up stairs . When we arrived outside motel hours our room allocated was outside on ground level .. but no heads up by staff other than room number . we went all the way up stairs at 7:30 at night with multiple bags .. before realising we were on GLevel . I received no apology off staff when I told them of this in morning . The breakfast was below average . Noisy at night .

AustraliaProperty is very old and musty and in need of refurbishing. Not really worth $150 a night. You get better value at the YHA for a private room which is cheaper. Hot water took a while to kick in.
Close to Three Sisters and centre of Katoomba. Comfy and clean. Buffet breakfast cost extra but was very good. Aircon, heating and TV all in working order.

AustraliaThe motel felt a bit run down, small things could quickly improve the rooms like painting the chipped and dirty door. The bathroom was generally clean however I made the mistake of looking up and the exhaust fan was so thick with filth and dust I wish I hadn't seen it. It also would have been good if the TV in the room offered some streaming service such as Netflix. The main bed was sunken on one side of the mattress.
The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a great view of Echo point from our room and were only a short walk to the lookout. The bedding and towels were all clean and fresh.
