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 door lock was faulty and this caused security and safety concerns. This should never be concern and is totally unacceptable. Safety and security of guests and guests property is paramount.

AustraliaOn walking in the door, we were overwhelmed by the smell of (poisonous) chlorine bleach cleaner. Despite trying to air the unit all evening, it upset my son's sinuses and made for a miserable night's sleep. In the morning, we realised it had been masking the smell of mould (we think under the carpet).
Simple, appears clean. Location handy to Echo Point.

AustraliaNo negative comments
This place is far from five staff luxurious accommodation and I was not seeking the same. What I liked was its quiet location down the lower end of Katoomba near Echo Point in a suburban part of town. The room was nice and clean and refreshing, the bathroom though old style was spotlessly clean and fresh with a fresh coat of paint and the same applied to the whole room. The bed was comfortable and the linen fresh. The furnishing is basic and comfortable. Kettle, microwave, cups and classes all good. Plenty of coffee, tea and milk. This place is good value for a quiet night of sleep which is what I wanted after a day of planned travel. Check the price, it is good value.

AustraliaBit of a walk from the hotel to the Main Street.
Really simple check in process. Didn't have to pay a damage deposit, communication from hotel was A+. Notified about the door being unlocked and keys left in room for me to check in anytime once notified by hotel. Shower fantastic, hot and good pressure. Fantastic WIFI. Bed very comfortable. Right next door to the main attraction, Blue Mountains.

New ZealandWe were in a corner room and the room next door said private. We realised around 7am that this was the cleaning room and there was banging of trolleys on our wall. The walls are thin - we could hear the above/side neighbours in their bathroom. There was a weird smell when lying in bed - the bedside tables had a random smell - like they were wiped with a dirty cloth that hadn't been washed in ages.
Check in is still contactless - you get a text when your room is ready so make sure they have your correct mobile number. You do not see any staff at all. We were there when there was a bag electrical storm and we were out at the time. There had been a power cut. When we got back we couldn't get the kettle to work. It took some time to realise we had to reset the power but the information for that is in the wardrobe where the circuit is. Unless you are hanging clothes it's not the first place to look for instructions. They should have a note on the information sheet on the table or on a note by the kettle explaining what to do in a power cut (ie look in the wardrobe!). Location to Echo point and the walks was great and its 2 minutes drive to Scenic World from there.

AustraliaBad first impression from a rude staff, probably the cleaner. I received a text informing that the room was ready, however the room wasn't ready when we arrived. When I told the said staff about the text, she appeared unhappy and muttered 'so rude' as she turned away. It was disappointing behaviour, as we were more than happy to wait for the room to he ready.
10mins walk to three sisters lookout. Nice and peaceful location.

AustraliaNothing I can think of, it was perfect for us.
Location was great and easy to find, the room was perfect, very clean and very tidy, we only stayed for a night but very happy with the all round experience for the price we paid. It was a no contact check in, keys were left in our room for when we arrived and The air conditioner was left on for us to get there and walk into a nice and cool room. Would definitely stay here again!

AustraliaWe would have liked a toaster, but fully understand one is not provided as the motel is concerned about false fire alarms. The fridge and microwave were fine for us, and the Katoomba cafes and restaurants were excellent.
Everything. A beautiful unit in an excellent location for Echo Point. It presented immaculately and had a lovely spa bath and great, powerful shower over the bath. The gas-powered hot water on demand was amazing - powerful and plenty of it. The Katoomba cafes and restaurants were excellent and food could be ordered for delivery.
