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 location was great but further than we wanted to be from the cbd. A beautiful neighbourhood though, historically interesting. Would have liked a slightly bigger space for two friends sharing a twin room. Shower curtain would be great for bathrooms aswell
Great staff, especially Ibrahim, very helpful and friendly. Price was good for 1 week.

United KingdomWalls were paper thin and we were woken through the night by lots of noisy residents. Had to call reception during the night at one point to break up a loud argument in the hall right outside our door. Excellent shower over bath but no shower curtain or screen so bathroom floor got very wet
Great location near lots of bars and restaurants. Cheap for Singapore (£55 for one night) and staff very friendly

United StatesLocation was perfect - walkable local area. I stayed for a 2 night stopover before journeying off to another country. The room was simple & sufficient for the price, it was all I needed - it’s not a 5 start hotel so keep your expectations low. I felt comfortable & safe. The staff was helpful & friendly (the lady at night & the man in the mornings - didn’t get their names, I’m sorry) - offering water bottles (although I try not to use single use plastic often) & were able to print out travel documents for me which I’m very grateful for!! Room cleaning was not needed in between 2 days, but the gentleman doing the housekeeping did a lovely job!

AustraliaIt was cheap and basic, but clean and easily accessible via bus. The area is nice, feels a lot like inner Melbourne. It seems like its right on the border of a "seedy" area and a more up-market area. So there are bars open at night and cafes in the morning, with pet grooming through the day! Lots of hipsters walking poodles! It was advertised as having no window but I found that my room had a window (shuttered on the button half) behind a very large curtain, so that was a nice surprise, natural light. I guess they hid it so that they can sell all of the rooms at the same rate? If other Hotel 81 locations are kept the same way then it'd be pretty hard to go wrong
