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 aircon was under maintenance, which was explained when I got to the room. However, a fan could be provided at extra cost. For $200+ a night when a selling point is air-conditioned rooms, this is a tad unfair. The room was advertised with a balcony, the pics made it look like all balconies had ocean views. I had views of the carpark facing away from the ocean. These were minor problems though. I checked in on Thursday night and found a dirty towel. Ok, fine, accidents happen. Before leaving for work the next day, I spoke to housekeeping when they were in the room next to mine, told them of the dirty towel and where it was to separate it from the clean towels. She apologised and said she'd deal with it and talk to whomever was in charge. I got back after work, the dirty towel was still there and I hadn't gotten any replacements. The floor also hadn't been vacuumed but this didn't bother me too much by comparison. The bed seemed to be the only thing addressed. I got new towels from reception after dinner after telling them what had happened. The next day, ALL my towels had been replaced as if to compensate. However I got a dirty towel AGAIN, this time with MORE colours in the stains. I also found that my slippers had been kicked so far under the bed i actually had to push the bed base out of the way AND lift it to get them. This was also a minor inconvenience though. I can understand the logistical needs of aircon maintenance and the refusal to drop the price while being stingey on compensating with a fan. Whatever. But providing clean towels is a hospitality bare MINIMUM. I have bad psoriasis so need to be very particular with the cleanliness of towels, bedding and clothing, but this point aside, $200+ a night should at least warrant clean towels.
Great location for my purposes. Lots of easy access parking. Parking costs are included in the hotel cost. Good choice of decently priced wine in the minibar. Reception staff were super friendly and helpful and handled my dissatisfaction and complaints with grace and poise.

AustraliaWe were not informed that the air conditioning was undergoing maintenance during our stay. If we'd been provided a fan or other way to keep the air moving in our room during this unseasonably hot winter it would have been OK, but we were not. We had to leave the balcony door open to get cool air in, which also meant bugs and street noise. We had hoped to leave the balcony door open during the day to prevent the room getting stagnant and muggy but house keeping (we assume) closed it whilst leaving the blind open, trapping the days heat in our room. Also, all the photos are of beach rooms... However we got a fantastic view of shipping containers and utes in the back lot from our room Had we been on a holiday rather than in town for work nearby we would have cancelled and found elsewhere.

AustraliaUnfortunately my room wasn't ready until after 2pm but I was checked in like everything was okay. I had to leave my stuff in the room and leave. I was gone for atleast 15-20 minutes thinking that would be enough time but when I returned back to my room, they were still in there cleaning it. When it comes to the buffet breakfast (especially on a sunday) it needs to be noted that there is a $9.60 surcharge on top of the $32.

AustraliaThere was dirt and an old plastic lid under the sink. The air-conditioning did not work, so had to leave the balcony door open the whole time, which at times was noisy. There was a hole in the top sheet. And from early in the morning there was a constant mechanical humming noise which caused a reverberation in the room that was very annoying.
