How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There was no hot water so we couldn’t shower and the building is showing its age. We’ve stayed here numerous times before and always enjoyed it, but don’t know if we will again.
Close to public transport and a short distance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The restaurant was nice.

The keycard didn't work initially and it took 3 goes to get the door open. My friend found the same. I was too hot in bed. I found the doona too warm & so did my friend. I had to strip the doona out of the top part of the sheets and just sleep with the sheets on the top half of me & the doona on the lower half of me. I even took off my long cotton pj pants because it was too warm. It would have been nice if there had been some wool or cotton blankets in the cupboard. Natural fibres breathe! There was also a constant noise ( Room 207). I'm not sure if it was the air conditioning/ heating or some other system in the hotel but it was in all night & made it hard to get to sleep.
The room was comfortable and the bed too. Friendly staff.

Improvement in the room cleaning, and staff not friendly. I asked for tissues as it had not been replaced, this was not done and needed reminding I asked for hand soap liquid at the basin to be filled as it was empty, I had to remind them twice I asked for body soap liquid at the shower to be filled as it was empty, I had to remind them twice I was leaving for a walk on the Saturday morning and saw her in the room nearby so mentioned to her that I would be out for 2-3 hrs if she wanted to clean my room whilst out. When I got back 3 hrs later the cleaner was still in our passage. # minutes after arriving back she knocks on my door to ask whether I wanted my room cleaned. I reminded her that I had offered for to clean it whilst I was out, she said, "oh yes of course" The bin liner was removed and not replaced.
Breakfasts are always great, I stay there every winter School at The university of Melbourne Location is so good Staff on the front desk are helpful and friendly

The heater was super noisy so we had to sleep with it off and the room was cold overnight & in the morning. TV options werent great, dont mind that its only free to air however no HD channels was annoying and also no option to stream our own services.
Location was perfect for us as we had appointments at RCH, parking is accessible for a large car and was able to keep it there while i attended my appointment after we had checked out.
