Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 sleeping arrangements were difficult for two of us sharing a bed-we needed to be very limber to climb in and out, and for the person who gets in first to climb over the other in the dark!
Expensive but unusual, staying in a historic prison.

AustraliaThe only thing I didn't like was no fresh milk in the room and everything from the mini bar had to be ordered.
Loved the layout and feel of the rooms and building.

AustraliaSome face washcloths in the room would have been pretty good. And patrons of the wine bar and restaurant can easily view you while swimming (I think I was filmed at one stage, which was not at all welcome).
Location is great, and the free bikes on offer are such a great idea! Wish I'd utilised this more, but there's always next time! The facilities on-site are impeccable - the pool even supplies towels, so that's one less thing to pack! And there's a supermarket within the Pentridge complex, which is insanely convenient.

AustraliaBeds a little hard but that is personal preference. Also couldn’t seem to get the room aircon to cool down so was a bit warm in the night.
Beautifully designed, very unique experience. Pool is amazing and rooms are just awesome. Love how original parts of the prison have been incorporated into the new lux design

AustraliaSkip the breakfast at the restaurant - they missed items & what they brought took forever. Walk 200m for multiple options that looked better.
The room was amazing! So special to relax in & notice all the wonderful design details. The service team was also wonderful. They made it feel special from checking in. Also, the mini bar is very reasonably priced ($22ish for a full sized bottle of wine). Dinner at the restaurant was very special too!

ItalyWe did try to have a glass of wine at the bar however we found limited options for ordering by glass but if staying for something to eat, then selection for a bottle of wine was great.
The staff were amazing and very accommodating, always approachable and went out of their way to help. The room was very luxurious and exactly what was expected. The pool was easily accessible and convenient with towels, and shower facilities provided.

New ZealandEverything was great. Clean and well maintained beautiful design.
The design and fixtures were dark and opulent. The stone was beautiful and the wine bar and restaurant were excellent. The bed was comfortable and the size of the room surprisingly generous. The overall use of space was remarkable. The late checkout was amazing as we had a 7pm flight and there was not a lot to do outside of the property.

AustraliaThe pool was cold. Please increase the temperature of the pool a little more. Providing some bathrobes to use to get to and from the pool would be nice. Also, an offering of better pillows would be a good idea.
Beautiful restoration of the prison to make a beautiful boutique style hotel. It was a lovely stay with a difference in the element of not so distant history behind it.
