Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaAlthough booked on Booking.com for 2 beds in the room was given a room with only one bed. Check in for casino rooms and motor inn is done at the casino, but this is not clear. Spent time walking around looking for motor inn reception.
Easy to get taxis, central to city, Salamanca market. Staff very helpful.

AustraliaIf you are a massive gym rat, they do offer a gym- however, don’t expect too much equipment. They have the bare necessities, with one squat rack- however no room to do deadlifts or any major lifts. However, if you want to use free weights they have all dumbbell weights up to 30kg
It was just an amazing stay with some wonderful views on level 16! The beds were som comfortable!

AustraliaI don't usually write in this 'box' but this time, we had a few concerns: Slow check in. Option to check in early wasn't available by even an hour, at actual check in. If we had known, or if that was offered to us (which it wasn't) beforehand, it would cost an extra 40.00 for only an hour. But on this day, the front desk staff said they could not/would not offer early check in and the front desk staff member, literally refused and would not call housekeeping staff to see if early check in was even possible. Water bottles in most hotels of this caliber are usually free (at least the first 2 are). Not Wrest. Cost extra. When front desk was asked about this at check out, we were told that Hobart water from tap is clean and fine to drink. Bottles are extra. Well that's good to know, I hope all the tap water is fine to drink from the tap in Hobart city...and Australia! It's not that we are new to finer hotels...guess for the price, we expected some similarities and assist, since our errors were due to lack of staff communication upon check in. If you want your room cleaned you have to put up the 'clean my room sign". This is fine overall, except this was not mentioned to us at check in. Most hotels of this caliber, do daily tidy/clean unless you state otherwise or you have the 'do not disturb' sign on the door. I get that each hotel has there own rules however notification when checking in would be appreciated. But, in our opinion, at the price paid, daily housekeeping should be a given and not a 'request;'. There was a terrible 'urine' smell at the entry of the parking lot as you walk into it from the hotel front door the entire time we stayed there. Mentioned this to staff first day but nothing was done. Perhaps they could have used some of that clean water from the tap to wash it away early on rather then waiting for it to fester and permeate the air.
All good overall. Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for us. We stayed 3 nights.
