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.).

AustraliaThey didn't have my booking in their system so I had to move to another hotel, but booking.com took the money out of my account anyway (1000 $AUS) and I am still trying to get it back.

AustraliaWifi was a bit slow and subject to a periodic reset requiring the connection to be re-established. Accessing the wifi was also a bit buggy, e.g. it took multiple attempts before the portal would acknowledge the connection request.
Nice room. Very helpful and friendly staff. Airport shuttle was great.

Papua New GuineaApartment itself was terrible. Place was dusty, sofas were mouldy, cockroaches everywhere, kitchen cupboards had dead cockroaches in them and although the air conditioning was on when we arrived, there were no remote controls. We called and requested for remotes and after almost an hour, of waiting, the maintenance guy said the remotes are in the other apartments which are occupied by tenants and therefore cannot be retrieved. Terrible terrible experience. Apartment was nothing like the photos.
Location was good. Front desk staff were good.

Papua New Guinea1. You have to follow up with their laundry services. 1. During one of my visits, the apartment I stayed in (apartment 12) had a musty smell from the couch and a leaking air conditioning.
Gateway Hotel is situated in an ideal location. It is only minutes from Jackson's airport. If you use Booking.com, you can get a better deal. The staff at the front desk are GREAT! They are always helpful and address you by name if you're a regular visitor.

AustraliaHotel transfer bus failed to pick me up at airport. Rubbish in corridor. Bed not made correctly, only one bed sheet, no doner cover & hair, dirt & cockroach between sheet & doner. Food is over priced. Placed a wake-up call which did not happen, lucky I set my alarm. Room was OK but needed a good vacuum cleaning. Staff were all helpful & friendly. Short walk to bar with airport views was worth it.

France150 USD for a dirty, unkept bathroom with no toiletries and really bad service. I checked in at 6pm and the room wasn’t ready, they had to go and check and I had to wait another 10-15mins. When I arrived at the room I thought right away the room was not worth even half of what they changed me. I requested shampoo and more towels but the housekeeping service was completely useless, it was the lady from room service who had to go to the other side of the hotel to fetch extra towels for me. Really terrible service, go somewhere else.
The only good thing about this place is its location and the airport shuttle service, everything else was apalling.
