Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaIt was a pretty good stay, a great place and would recommend it to anyone. Cause bathrooms are shared, my only complaint is that the bath mats got really wet and weren’t changed are dried. Suggest new types of bath mats that last a bit longer.

AustraliaStairs.. OMG. View was good from loft, but has a calf injury and the stairs were killer. Kettle in room, no other coffee/tea facilities so unnecessary. Cleaner there at 4 pm(outside the 10-3 blackout period) using both washing machine and dryer. I wanted to wash 1 shirt that got dirty in luggage, but had to hand washing in sink. Luckily there was a 2nd dryer.
Good facilities eg Kitchen etc. Was good having 3 bathrooms. Charging stations was great addition. Very clean.

AustraliaWe were on the third floor which was very hot, there was no air-conditioning only a pedestal fan. Not even a bar fridge to keep drinks or food cold. Only a communal fridge down four flights of stairs. Room was so hot and humid it was very uncomfortable and unfortunately trying to cool off in the shower wasn't worth it as the water pressure was terrible.
The location was great.

AustraliaThin walls all around (can hear plumbing from upstairs, discreet conversations and local traffic just outside and passing by). Shared bathroom that I used only allows one person at a time (which has shower and toilet). Better communication for first timers to advise where the other amenities are since I didn't want to venture up multiple floors to find out where everything was (I was on G, there were signs for the shared kitchen area on LG. so I assumed toilets and showers were somewhere up). Cooling/heating solution for the room may need an upgrade.
Room 1A is a big roomy space with a high ceiling, and had plenty of power supply options. Convenient location away from busy crowds. Less than 10 minutes away from Barangaroo Metro. Great place for visitors to stay while visiting and wandering Sydney (please be mindful since locals also live here) while being close to the action.
