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 only thing I can finger point at is the outside windows needed a good clean to enjoy the water view.
Love the historic feel and staff were fantastic. Being Port Arthur water was not on tap for drinking but was supplied bottled. Meals in the restaurant were fantastic.

United KingdomVery low standard of room furniture and fittings. I’m sure they would have had change from $100 for the lot.. They take a credit card on check in and then you can’t charge to room but have to pay as you go- why? Weird till system where food and drink transactions are separated even with the same server at the same time. This is stupid and annoying. Looking below the surface it is clear that this hotel is running on empty
Location. A bay view room has lovely views. Well placed for local attractions. Bar/restaurant attractive but see below

AustraliaThere is no tap drinking water, although bottle water is provided. Water is brown in colour. On arrival, I was told not to open windows due to insects. Mattress is very firm. Toilet did not flush adequately All of which took the shine off staying at The Fox & Hounds.
Great location, close to Port Arthur penitentiary site. Sea view room outlook great, beautiful scenery.

AustraliaI couldn’t open the windows so no fresh air. Had to close bathroom door so the outside light wouldn’t come in at night. Shower was dripping so the shower head had to be turned upside down. Breakfast was average, food was pricey but understandable due to transport costs from Hobart. Stairs were narrow so large suitcases are difficult to get up and down when you stay on first floor.
Close to the port Arthur historical site. Good dinners and lunches.

AustraliaThe brown tap water that smelt but we were told it’s an area wide problem. I wouldn’t stay in the area again but would day trip it. Ordered 2 basic meals at the restaurant and they took over an hour, restaurant said it was because poor internet connection that they didn’t go through to the kitchen. and we were nearly late for a booked tour in the area.
Fantastic location, ocean views, comfortable beds.

AustraliaKitchen and bathroom and in general it was dated, the interior of the room could do with a lift and some freshening up. The restaurant food was ok, but a pricey for what it was, I’d eat elsewhere if staying again.
