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...).

Dated,not particularly clean in shower tiles and under vanity. Basic with limited decor. Room adjacent had music blaring until 12am which woke me up but there was no after hours number to call for staff to address the issue.

AustraliaThe air conditioner was too small for such a large room, which meant an incredibly hot night, especially considering how soft, hot, and uncomfortable the mattress was. There was one window which was duct taped shut. Cobwebs on the windows, old chewing gum stuck to the walls, grime on the basin, doors and skirting boards were swollen and split due to water damage, and the doorless shower overflowed throughout the bathroom.
The location was good and the area was quiet.

AustraliaWell, there was a nail coming out of the carpet in my room that I stepped on. The floor in the room overall appeared unclean. Reception was closed most of the time. I was told on the phone prior to my stay that reception was open until 6:00pm and that I could leave my bags there until then as we planned to go to Sovereign Hill for the day. We arrived and the reception was closed. I let them know that we were waiting and they came after around 10 minutes. I noticed the sign on the front of the reception saying they may close early sometimes (keep in mind it was 10:00am at this point). I was told by two different people after this that the reception would be closing at 3:00pm, then another staff member said 4:00pm, despite originally being told 6:00pm on the phone. Horrible communicators.
Spacious room. Good amenities. Comfortable bed.

AustraliaThe only negative point was the unavailability of breakfast in the hotel, however was not a big deal.
Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a room, but it turned out to be a suite with a kitchen and all the necessary kitchen tools, such as a toaster, tea packages, a fridge, two TVs (one in the lobby and one in the bedroom), a private spa, and more. The room, towels, bed, and linen were all quite clean. The hotel is well-located in Ballarat and easily accessible, especially at night when you want to have a drink at bars. You can walk to the hotel without concerns about breaking any driving rules. Parking the car in front of the room made it easy to move our belongings in and out. I highly recommend this hotel, and if I plan another trip to Ballarat, I will definitely choose the same hotel for my stay.

AustraliaRoom was very dark without lights on, only window was in a sort of walled area so no real light, most rooms had window at the front so I would request this of staying there. No comfortable seating only desk chairs. Table a length of chipboard attached to the wall same side as TV so no where to put a cup of plate while watching TV Water pressure in the sink very poor but shower was okay.
Very large room, with 2 beds. Queen bed was comfortable and had electric blankets. Sink, detergent provided, microwave and large fridge, parking outside the room.
