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...).

AustraliaNo cookware provided even though the room had a pretty good kitchenette. Expensive parking, one does expect free parking with all the money they charge for rooms.

FranceI have already shared that feedback after my first night stay there and I usually am quite laid back in my reviews, but nothing was done or said after my feedback therefore, here it goes again. We have stayed in 5 different hotels in Melbourne from southbank, to cbd and Collingwood. Here we are a bit further from the main attraction, yet we are paying more than all those previous stays. I would understand if there was a higher service, better rooms, location but we are highly disappointed as we feel we are paying just a lot of money for the view and the balcony. Other hotels, had a coffee machine, bigger beds, a nice looking shower and no carpet. Some had dishwasher and even a laundry machine, also with a balcony and a nice view. Other hotels as well had common areas to relax in, such as a bar, terrace, restaurant. pool or spa and gym. Therefore I cannot understand how we paid a much higher price than the others, while those were definitely better serviced hotels. I hope this helps you provide a higher service for the future guests. For the staff, I have no reviews.
I liked the view which was beautiful, you could watch the sunset. The balcony was also nice.

AustraliaThe reception area, especially the carpet seemed a bit unclean, and it was a real shame that the room next door (breakfast area, bar, restaurant?) appeared to be totally deserted and unused?
We liked the kitchen and the available equipment. The view from the room was nice, the beds comfortable. The hotel was quiet and the closeness to a tram station was convenient. The art decor on the walls stood out nicely.

AustraliaWe booked this place for the views! I paid for a high rise room with water views, however, all we got was side views of St Kilda, plus the room looked much much smaller than the photos. We paid a lot of money for this so I was quite disappointed with that. However, it was beautifully furnished and everything was quite modern, which was aesthetically pleasing :)
Very convenient location and beautiful hotel overall.

AustraliaI stayed at the Kinson with my aunt for my birthday getaway pressie from her. Unfortunately, my aunt fell off a ladder and ended up having fractures in her leg so we had to reschedule. The gorgeous woman who took my call from Kinson, told me the new date would have my aunt and I staying on the same floor which didn't happen. My aunt didn't want to make a fuss but it made it a bit awkward when we needed to go to each other's room. The cleaning was excellent except for the smudges on the mirror above the couch which hadn't been cleaned and I moved the table to make room for my massage table because I was going to give my aunt a massage (I'm a remedial therapist) and there were chips or huge crumbs and the carpet was pretty messy with carpet fluff if that makes sense. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the linen was devine but the pillow was way too soft for me. My aunt told me the next day (today) that all the pillows were various densities. I thought maybe it would be nice to be told. It would have been nice and I'm not sure if it was because of covid, but to have nibbles in the room or to be informed that we needed to bring some. I also didn't receive the second parking ticket at the time of arrival after purchasing the parking which on making the booking, it didn't mention there was an extra $25 for parking to be paid. This was my first time in such a highly rated hotel and it was a bit disappointing. We will stay again as we vowed to make it a regular gorgeous get away. Thank you for having us and rescheduling our booking. It was a whirl wind stay and despite the above, I loved it.

AustraliaPower points and lights that didn’t work which made the room dim. Hair on bathroom floor on arrival. White stains on curtains and dark stain on doona top sheet. Expected more for the price. Little touches like a chocolate on the towels would have increased the feeling of being welcomed as the arrival welcome was underwhelming.
The location of the property was convenient. The decor was nice. Staff were helpful.

AustraliaStayed for 3 nights requested the room to be cleaned only once on Sunday it wasn't rang and complained that the room was cleaned, got nothing but excuses no apology and was hung up on by staff member Beniot. Obtained the managers phone number Ms Kailin Flint rang and explained my situation to a voice recording haven't had any response, a distinct lack of care and responsibility for her guests. Have stayed there numerous times in the past will never stay there again.
Location was fine.

Had to re-enter all my details even though they have them on file in the booking. Robes smelt of the last person who wore them so it was obvious they were not washed or cleaned which is disgusting!
