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.).

AustraliaThe room I stayed in was very disappointing. It wasn’t very clean, with thick layers of dust on the lights, tv, light switches and behind furniture. There was mould throughout the bathroom and the entrance area to the hotel room. There was dried liquid on the bed head, mould around the man hole in the bathroom and around the ceiling and on the door frames. It was a mouldy sludgy texture on the door frames (easy to wipe clean) but hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. It was very gross. The corners of the entrance into the hotel room on the tiles were extremely dirty. It was not very clean or well looked after. The carpet was frayed in spots. The lamp shades were clearly dirty and had old stains on them. The walls had scratches and marks all over them. The balcony was dirty, the tracks of the sliding doors were extremely dirty. The fan wasn’t working in the bathroom. Huge amounts of mould around the hotel room. The photos looked nice but we were completely disappointed. We could have gotten a better cleaned room in a motel for a cheaper price. Rydges, do better. Also, the foyer in the hotel looked disgusting with the tiles that have cracks in them that collect the black dirt. Resultant was dead because it doesn’t look very inviting , so dated
The view, bed and location were the only good things.

AustraliaExtremely loud, woken every night and morning by people outside room on ground, could hear water pipes and fridge extremely loud. Air con makes room either freezing or stuffy/dank without it - is actually a note by the switch recommending don’t leave on all night or too cold. Pools require update and require clean deck & chairs. Buffet breakfast very average for price.

AustraliaFirst, when bathroom is neglected and not clean in a prestigious hotel, nothing looks well. The reception staff did the bare minimum and not more. Extra charge for parking but when functions held over the weekend, parking not monitored and not leaving the hotel guests parking.
Hotel location as expected. Not exactly in the bustling centre but in walking distance.

New ZealandEverything was minimalist. Only 2 towels in the bathroom plus 1 hand towel and 1 facecloth. 1 Toilet roll for 2 people. Room service use is extra charge, menu is small and peculiar. Pizza was like eating raw pastry with large strange tasting toppings. We ordered strong pot of tea for 2 but got a cardboard cup of hot water with 2 teabags on side. Strange. We had a kettle in the room. !!! We then got charged $9 for tea plus $5 for delivery?? Nobody to help with luggage. Was shown where the trolleys were and told to 'help yourself '. 84 year old guests. I think for the price paid we should expect more.
We paid extra for the upgrade and it was worth it for the view. Staff were polite and helpful where they could be.

AustraliaThe entire property is run down. Corridors, skirting boards, ceilings all in low repair. Printed signs stuck with blu tac on each floor from February communications. Breakfast restaurant lacked atmosphere, attention, love and walls had old drink spillage visible from tables. Bar was manned only if you asked and it was very basic. Nothing to suggest you should stay in and have a few drinks. Pool bar and seating still set up in the pool but the window to the actual bar was build in so no service. Pool guests expected to get dry, leave the pool area, go to the bar, order, wait and then carry beverages back out to the pool area to enjoy. Room was clean on the surface but very dirty under benches, in corners, under sinks etc Lack of maintenance in grout, vents, access points falling off.
Staff were welcoming Scaffolding was up in the reception area with painting in progress (encouraging that some work is commencing)
