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 beds are very uncomfortable- my friend and I didn’t get a good night sleep on a single night. The pillows are also terrible. Although a separate living area is great, the couches are extremely uncomfortable. You can chrome cast onto the living room TV but not the bedroom TV - but the couches are not uncomfortable so it would be better to have chromecast available on the bedroom TV. Hotel lobby feels a bit tacky and out of date. Absolutely no space on the bathroom counter - very inconvenient for women. Buffet breakfast ends at 10am - too early and the selection is very limited.
Good location and liked that we had 2 queen beds plus a separate living space. A lot of elevators, so you don’t have to wait long for one.

New ZealandAir con
Room was spacious and clean, however we checked out as the air con was not working. Despite being told to "wait a couple of hours" for the air con to kick in by reception, and then maintenance telling us we control it from downstairs, the temp went from 27 to 28 over that 2 hours and it was 32 degrees outside. No windows to open either.

AustraliaThe receptionist that served us on arrival was awful and rude. Checking in took so long it was ridiculous and it made it really hard with small children who were tired and sick of travelling for the day. Requested an invoice to be emailed as we were travelling for business. Had to ring today to ask again. Hopefully we get it this time.
Room worked well for what we needed

AustraliaHousekeeping was hit and miss in terms of their service. Toilet was not cleaned and bed making was clearly rushed. Air conditioning did not work properly and there was a pedestal fan in the cupboard obviously for this reason. We had the fan on every night. Would not recommend this room for summer or if you run hot!
The property is in a good location and reception is open 24 hours. Reception staff were always friendly when we had questions. Room was very big and spacious.

AustraliaRoom was not ready at the guaranteed 2pm. Reception stated it was because of my special request to have twin beds. I had put the request in months prior and reiterated at 11.30am when I left my luggage at the hotel. At 2pm when I returned I had to wait for the room to be done only to get to the room and find the beds weren't separated into twins anyway :(
