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...).

AustraliaWe arrived to not get the rooms we booked (1 larger suite with 1 large bed and a smaller room with 2 singles ) - it was reversed even after i called the hotel earlier in the day to ensure the room configuration. Our girls who should have been in the twin smaller room were in the larger room with a disabled bathroom. The lights did not work properly and the light switch was covered in electrical tape. The shower flooded with over 2 inches of water pouring onto the carpet. it was unsanitary and not suitable. We had asked to be moved on the first night as we preferred to not have a disabled room, however, were told that this was impossible, and it was just our bad luck. The gentleman on reception seemed to enjoy letting us know at 11pm that we could not have what we had asked for or booked. Having said that, both rooms could have been configured, had he been bothered to, as they are not kings in the true sense, but 2 single beds put together. the overall stay was really poor.
The gentleman on reception who finally sorted all the issues was helpful. On the 3rd day he helped us with the flooded room and even offered a breakfast for the inconvenience. He was very kind.

AustraliaThe room was pretty clean, apart from the bathroom. The shower has not had a good clean in a long time, there was quite a bit of hair in the drain and the walls near the door were dirty.
Location was great, parking cost was very reasonable and the gym was good.

AustraliaThe breakfast was awful! Really very disappointed paying $20 per adult and $15 per child for a piece of toast and watery coffee Condiments were hard and couldn’t be spread, yoghurt was sitting out getting warm, Croissants and pastries a couldn’t fit in the toaster to be warmed and were very hard to eat or even cut.
We were a little surprised that the 2 bedroom suite was just 2 hotel rooms next to each other without a common sitting area, felt like the description was a bit deceiving in that way. It was awkward to try and keep to doors open between the rooms to be together as a group. Overall the rooms were nice and clean, just not what we were expecting and didn’t meet our needs for the stay.

AustraliaThere was a building site next door, and there was no disclosure of this on booking, or further correspondence. We were woken by the sound of concrete pouring and a building crew. The room was meant to be a suite, but they don't know the meaning of the word. Very little space to clothes, beds so close to wall would hit it when got up, the bathroom had no vanity, just an old trolley, the basin tap was too big for the basin, and the water would splash out. But the worst of all, the sheets were stained! A second room we booked was meant to be twin beds, but this was not done until it was insisted.
Nothing.

I do not like being forced to use someone’s WiFi when I have my own. Car parking too awkward with no offer of help to transport luggage.

AustraliaThe room was very small. Especially compared to other places I’ve stayed in a similar location. The bed was jammed in and there was only room for one bedside table. The clock had to be reset every time we came back to the room as the power would turn off when you took the swipe card out of the slot.
The location was great. The facilities were clean.
