Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

This was our 3rd stay in a river view room at the MACq01. The hotel is in the best location in Hobart. The rooms and bathroom are spacious. I love the separate suitcase space and dressing area. Beds and pillows are comfy. And, there are small things I like eg good quality body lotion, a cosy extra blanket, real milk for tea.

Everything was great; if I was been picky a large tea cup in the rooms and a pool would have been amazing. But honestly, we loved our stay.
Hotel is located on the harbour in Hobart, perfect location and views. Stroll around the harbour where there was plenty of cafes / restaurants. 5 minute walk into the town. Staff were excellent, helpful and friendly.

The room could have been equipped better to occasionally bring back your own food to eat in the room - sometimes you need a break from restaurants and rich restaurant food and just want to eat something simple and fresh from the market. For example there were no knives or forks or plates appropriate for this in the room.
Perfect location within walking distance of everything. Our room looked out to the water and harbour. The resort has several bars and restaurants, all were excellent, and a short walk to all the other wharfs, Salamanca Market area, ferry to the MONA, and bus to the top of Kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Valet parking was also included in our room fee, made everything very easy.

Between 10:30 to 12:00noon the breakfast restaurant is completely closed off to guests. The staff will chase you out of the area even if you would like to take your time to finish off your last helping.
The location is good. Close to pier and some good restaurants.

We were charged for panadol from the mini bar Which we did not use Must have been a previous guest but not picked up by staff until after we had checked out Macq01 came back to us immediately after our review posted and have refunded panadol which was not consumed. A small amount in the grand scheme of things, but important to address issues around minibar use. Full.points to Macq01 for prompt and courteous follow-up.
