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.).

AustraliaI think the only tiny thing is that we didn’t easily find the lights to put on for upstairs hanging area near the TV so we struggled a little bit with that and it was no big deal
We loved our stay. And were delighted and excited to receive an upgrade and a special desert to celebrate my birthday. Everyone was fabulous and had a fantastic view of the city and Just. The setup and arrangement was very comfortable with the window seat being a particular highlight to sit and watch the world go by. Thank you very much for your kindness and care. Raquel and Tori were very warm and friendly at Reception. I really enjoyed the thoughtful breakfast, which was of a high-quality. The avocado, the different types of beans for the baked beans and the Le creuset ovenware were a lovely touch.

Everything about this hotel was truly special! The location, staff, room, and more. I proposed to my then-girlfriend and now-fiancée just before we arrived, letting them know my plan beforehand. We received a lovely card and a bottle of wine - they made us feel incredibly special! Thanks heaps to the staff who made our day truly unforgettable!

AustraliaThe room heating wasn’t working too well. Nice that there was a portable heater and blanket already in the room, but it was still quite cold, need to upgrade the heating and cooling of the rooms. The water temperature with the shower was temperamental at times. Wish room service was all night as well
The service from the get go was amazing at Ovolo! Really lovely to have a surprise anniversary dessert and card. Hotel has a luxurious and quirky feel to it and the room was really nice and big, with gorgeous views. Bathroom was lovely too. The location was a highlight. Buffet breakfast was nice too, barista coffee was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again!

Breakfast was lovely. Fresh and plentiful. Staff super helpful. Health shot on the way in was a great touch. Coffee excellent and the selection of teas delicious. Relaxing bath salts a real treat at the end of busy day exploring the great experiences Sydney has to offer. Proximity to the botanical gardens, circular quay and the art gallery outstanding. Fresh air with a window I could open delightful. The decor and ambience was a treat. Unexpected and very fun. The staff again super helpful.

New ZealandThe pigeons clattering over the skylights each morning at daybreak! Although by the third morning it was easy to ignore and go back to sleep. The blinds on the skylight were tricky to open and close too - I would advise leaving them down!
The person who checked us in noticed from my passport that it was my birthday, so bubbles were sent up shortly after we checked in, which was a lovely start to our stay. The room, or suite really, was spacious and very comfortable, especially the bed. It was lovely to relax on the couch and look out over the water. Having access to Alexa was very useful and it was great to be able to play music through the room's speaker. We loved the coffee maker too and even the nice touch of a jar of bath salts in the bathroom, which allowed for a lovely soak after a hard day's sightseeing. It was a real home from home. And finally, the staff were unfailingly courteous and helpful.
