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...).

AustraliaThe handle on the entrance to the shower was missing, making it difficult to open the door. The toilet seat wouldn’t stay up making it difficult for my husband to wee. The towels we were given were pretty threadbare. It was unfortunate that renovations were taking place as access in and out of the hotel was difficult. When I went out for a walk at 6.30 am I was locked out on my return. Had to bang on the door to get let in.
The bed was very comfortable.

AustraliaIs very run down for the price they charge. The restaurant & room service menu is very limited and very expensive. Parking wasn't included, however, the "secure" boom gates were stuck open, so it turned out free. The overall quality was about 3.5 / 5 stars. Overpriced.
The location was fairly good. The bed was comfortable.

Australia1. unserviceable TV upon arrival. 2. access keys that had to be reprogrammed 8 times in 9 day (mobiles rarely cause this problem; more likely dirty door card readers) 3. efficient but charmless front desk staff. The hotel was busy with many groups; individual travels seemed to be a nuisance.
Good location with above average bar-restaurant: a menu that contains no surprises, but delivered well prepared value for money meals, by charming staff.

New Zealandthe towels were rags. we had to ask for more but even those were well worn. mould all through the bathroom. shampoo etc. was a bunch of mixed items which looked like they’d been taken from other hotels. when we checked in they told us that they only serviced the rooms every couple of days. the building itself was in poor repair. some lift lights showing which floor it was on didn’t work. the pool area was run down. i’d suggest avoiding this hotel and if this is an example of Rydges, then avoid the whole hotel chain altogether.
location was ok but that’s about it

AustraliaIf we came again we’d stay somewhere closer to the main street. The pillows on the bed were terrible, like laying on a biscuit. The room was also freezing, you need the aircon on because its hot in cairns but there’s no control in the room just an on off switch so you cant set the temperature. The shower in our room was constantly going hot and then cold. The lift also took 10 minutes to pick you up every-time so we just got the stairs.
The location wasn’t too bad it was about a 15 minute walk to the main street however the area was a little rough. The bed was comfy and the staff were friendly.

AustraliaI really wish the manegment/owners would read reviews because if they did my review would not read like a horror story.The overall hotel needs a complete facelift it looks and feels old and it desperately needs a change of decor a new paint job.and the cleanliness is huge red flag .also the pool had no umbrellas to shade you, and the surface of the pool is very rough .The towels in the room were threadbare and needed to be replaced. There was mould in the bathroom tiles and in the bedding and was not cleaned after asking 3 times. Also there was no exhast fan in the bathroom making thr floor very slippery. Overall it's a hotel in need of some TLC So no I won't recommend this hotel it was not nice to stay in.Very disappointed.
Most of the staff were friendly especially winnie in the reasturant. Food was OK Washing machine and dryer ok
