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.).

Great value for money. Considering the shared facilities, it was kept pretty clean.

AustraliaWell, it is good property for its money. You have you own room, which is pretty much what you want. You won’t find anything worth now in Brisbane for less than $80 a night Doesn’t have washing machine to wash your clothes inside. That might be improved however.
Close to Woolworth. Close to train station. Relatively close to the city centre.

CanadaNeed ed place for one night to catch flight early morning. Didn't want to spend too much so it was perfect for single person on a budget. But still with the cost of the room and Uber return trip it was still $150 Uber and room. But nothing is cheap in Australia or anywhere. It seems these days, it was in a private home. They made you feel as comfortable as you can, Being in somebody else's home. It didn't bother me. I just needed a good night's sleep. The hosts were friendly. Didn't really see any stores or restaurants close by, but I didn't look very hard. For what I need it and it was what I expected. It was fine.

AustraliaThe bed was extremely low to the ground and tough to sleep on. There were only two power points in the room, located far away from the bed - I had to buy a power board to charge my things with it. The room was also very small. There was only one key for the front door, and if you returned to the house without the key but while the owners were out, it was kind of bad luck to you. If it had been cheaper, it may have been worth it, but it was more expensive than it was worth.
The owners were friendly, the location was nice, and it was pretty clean. There was a standing fan.

No table or chairs in shared kitchen. Few crockery or cutlery items. Bed did not have a top sheet but a blanket instead. Shared bathroom but no separate toilet!! Building very old and in desperate need of repainting.
