Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

It was a little inconvenient that I was unable to park my car at the hotel and had to park down the street. This meant we had to carry luggage up the street.
The location was perfect for an event that I was attending in the Valley. I loved the view from the room looking out at the Ekka Showgrounds.

Our stay was present and convenient. Right near the venue we were attending. The phone in our room did not work. We tried to call the front desk for services and it did not work. Also did not work to order room service. The app for room service did not work as the name to room was not entered correctly. We received 2 meals to our room when only 1 was ordered. I had to call from my mobile from the website number. However room was lovely , bed was good and amenities were nice and parking was very convenient for our large car.

FIX YOUR LIFTS! It was mayhem with a conference running and 1 lift operational and people left managing stairs as there were dozens of people waiting for lifts and only to find floors doors were locked, then having to double back. Regular guests mentioned that this was normal and that one lift was usually always not working. Also, lounge area in foyer (while great spot to catch up with people) are some of most uncomfortable lounges to sit on. You literally can't lean back without partially laying down. ;)
Great location and close to lots of restaurants and cafe's. Accross the road from the convention centre. Rooms are comfortable.

I booked thru Booking .com. My son lives at the end of your street at the Yards apartments. I asked him to call in and inquire about booking direct. We are Priority Ridges members. The person on the counter just couldn't be bothered and told my son to keep the booking we already had. He couldn't help him. Not happy Jan!
Room was clean, bed and Pillows were VERY comfortable. Breakfast yummy and most staff friendly and attentive.
