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 hotel is very outdated and not a true representation of the Mercure brand. The lift also broke down during our stay so lugging luggage and a pram down levels wasn't ideal.
Booked a family room, had to move rooms shortly after check in due to the shower flooding. The new room provided wasn't cleaned properly and couldn't be re cleaned until the cleaners arrived the following day.

AustraliaHotel facilities are good but I had a very unpleasant experience at this hotel, and I hope anyone considering a stay here will take note of this review. I did not request a room cleaning, but the hotel staff entered my room and took my entire bag of Lush bath bombs that were still in the paper bag without my permission. This paper bag was with my belongings, indicating that I did not treat it as garbage. Even for a routine cleanup, there was no reason to touch it and consider this bag as garbage to throw it away, especially since it contained heavy and unused bath bombs. When I raised the issue with the manager, there was no apology. Instead, I was told that the staff responsible for entering my room was not present, and I should wait until this staff was on duty the next day, and she told me that she could help me solve the problem next day at 5-6pm. I called again the next day at the agreed time and another manager took my call. Since I couldn't find the store and was hoping to get my lost items back, I was told that the employee who had entered my room was already off work today and we would have to wait until tomorrow. As we had to check out the next day, I didn’t have time to enjoy the bath bombs either. In the end, they apologized to me and negotiated that they would pay us $40 as compensation. This kind of behavior, throwing away a customer’s personal belongings without permission, should never happen in a hotel. Thankfully, I only lost my bath bombs this time. In the future, if they threw away my USB stick with my final year’s art portfolio for no reason and asked me to wait until the next day, I would immediately call the police.
The hotel facilities are good.

AustraliaRoom needed cleaning, dust under beds. Room had a single and double bed. Both were hard as boards and uncomfortable. Single bed was on wheels and moved whenever you got out of bed, one side actually lifted off the flooring. Pillows low standard of quality. Bathroom so so small. No microwave or toaster.
Nothing.

AustraliaAbsolutely no car parking facilities - we were told to park on the street and got a parking fine within 15mins of arriving.Asked if there were any carparks available and were told we could get one for $25 a day ! But had to wait 3 hours - the following day we went out and when we came back someone had parked in our park. They waived the carparking fee after we told them we got the fine. 5 carparks for the whole hotel, absolutely ridiculous. The aircon was set to 29 deg when we arrived so it took ages for the room to cool down. The balcony was locked so we couldn't utilise it at all. The room and the hallways smelt very musty and the lift was broken. There were an open packet of peanuts left within the mini bar and the fridge JUST kept the drinks cold. The price per night is not worth what you pay. Will not go back or recommend.
The bed was comfortable and location was good. The bar staff and wait staff were excellent.

United KingdomRestaurant next door. Food was good but we were the only diners. Not sure if that was because of time 1900, or midweek Tues, or because they are not along the beachfront with all other restaurants.
