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.).

AustraliaLocation.
Certainly not as advertised. The signage as advertised is non existent. The stench of cigarette smoke in the room is putrid. The bathroom door is battered and broken and the toilet cover is taped down with black tape. The adjoining neighbour stayed up until 4:00am and awakened to a jack hammer fixing the security gate at 8:00am. $100 for a $40 stay…booking.com should remove.

AustraliaDidn’t end up staying, the reviews spoke volumes! Location would have been good for our intended stay.
Wanted to cancel my stay due to reading the reviews - to be fair I didn’t give much notice but they only received a cancellation request and didn’t even bother to ask why we couldn’t stay they just denied it. I have since emailed to advise why we didn’t want to stay and suggested that they keep the prepayment but not take any further funds which was ignored and they took full payment. Read the reviews - don’t bother booking, I was fine with a cheap stay and probably less than comfortable bedding and less than quality facilities - but I was not prepared to stay at a hotel with multiple reports of bed bugs! Booking.com should take these reviews into account and not promote this hotel!

AustraliaThe bed. The matress was old and I felt the springs getting into my ribs. The room was kind of old and the walls had a few nails and screws. No TV. Also, the smell in the room was not bad but it was not pleasant.
The location because was close to where my friends live. That's all.

AustraliaNo bar fridge — “supplier hold up.” No Internet. Seedy feel. I held my breath walking in and out of the building, as the smells were unpleasant.
The staff were friendly. The apartment was recently repainted – walls and ceiling. A new kitchen and wardrobe were installed. The water pressure and heat in the shower was good. In the dead of a very cold winter, I got a summer experience because the building’s heater was set so high that I had to leave the window wide open all night, which created the illusion of a warm breeze.

New ZealandThe room was being renovated. The bed mattress that was initially in the room was noisy and creaked and uncomfortable. On the second or third day a new mattress was installed in the room along with a couch, Did not have a fridge the whole time as per the advertising. The entrance door still had the old lock area filled with filler and not pained etc. the round table had graffiti written on it, the tv cabinet was very badly scratched and not up to standard. Paint drops on the floor in the bathroom and on the stove top. the room did have an odour to it. The screen door would not lock. There are a number of there improvements that need to be done as well. I will be asking for a refund.
The location was excellent for for me. Room was clean and a good size. Heating excellent. Bed side tables good but not light on them. The manager helpful and friendly. Shower excellent.

New ZealandRoom, bed and building smelt strongly of cigarettes. Sheets hadn't been changed prior to arrival, though a staff member picked up on this when showing me to the room and fixed it.
Location alright, close to a tram stop but a bit of a ride to the city center.

New ZealandNone of the facilities I paid for worked, TV was broken, cooker top broken toilet was not connected to wall and the seat fell off. The cuboard doors were also broken off. I had drug addicts trying to enter my room in the middle off the night all through the week, people fighting throughout the building and people with serious mental illness screaming for hours on end, There were mice, the bins weren’t emptied from the previous guest and neither was the fridge. They also hadn’t clean the room, hair clipping all over the place. I have a queen size bed with a single size quilt Exposed wires out the wall socket Also no Wi-Fi This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life. If should be removed from booking sites and solely used for social/welfare housing because that’s what half the building is.

AustraliaThe bed was hard as a board, the ceiling fan did not work so it was stifling the entire weekend, the other tenants were noisy, the shower was ok but dated, there were black bugs everywhere and so it was 2 stars but should be more like 1 star.
The location is minutes to Chapel Street which has chic shops and excellent pubs up and down the length of it.

AustraliaThere were bed bugs. When I discovered them I sprayed the bed with fly spray and slept on top of the bed under a blanket. Also the blind broke when I was trying to pull it up and I told the lady at reception and she had a look but did not come back with someone to fix it. That was before I discovered the bed bugs. A horrible experience.

AustraliaThe staff had no idea what they were doing. The room was not as described - we were meant to have two double beds but had one and a sofa bed that they didn't provide sheets for. There were cockroaches in the bathroom and we've left covered in bed bug bites.
The area was quiet and close to a tram stop to get to the city.
