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 could not fault anything about the property or the staff.
The service was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Any requests we asked were delivered in a timely manner. The facilities are lovely and they even offered a free lolly bar for the kids and carried all of our bags up to the room for us before we arrived in the room. The view from our hotel room was also very lovely. The breakfast was delicious with lots of variety and was very good value and the kids ate free.

AustraliaLifts were a little slow whilst they upgrade all 3 lifts.
Central location 10 min walk to CBD, 5 min walk to restaurant/cafe/bars areas in Surry Hills and Kings Cross. Our room was on the side overlooking Hyde Park which was great, but even the city view side has long views on the upper levels. Quiet for a city location. Rooms comfortable and spacious. We got an early check in the morning we arrived as our room was ready. Will stay here again when next in Sydney

AustraliaThe lift!!!! We had to spare 10 minutes just to wait for our turn in the lift. I think, there’s only 2 lifts working for the entire building.
I love the vibe! The location is perfectly accessible to all. The room is cozy and romantic. The room service is excellent, we ordered a couple of times even as early as 6:00am. The amenities are great and accessible. The hotel itself is a perfect holiday destination.

AustraliaThe fact both the front desk staff and restaurant staff were initially confused about the inclusions in the package booked and paid for. All was okay on departure with nothing additional to pay.
This hotel is in a great location, easy walking distance from train station. Our junior suite was very nice, large with separate bedroom and on a high floor overlooking Hyde Park. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept well both nights. The breakfast was very good with a suitable selection of food, both cold and hot. Our package was in the expensive side however also included dinner both nights and despite some confusion by the staff about the dinner being included, the meals were quite good. My dessert on night 2 was outstanding.

Australiathe lifts need to be addressed, it took 15 minutes one morning to get downstairs and by the time we reached the bottom the lift has so many people in it I was extremely fearful of having caught some illness. It is not great to have this issue in such a good hotel.
The room was wonderful and the staff as always were professional helpful and thoughtful

AustraliaThe lift wait times. Up to 30mins to go to reception in peak period, with only one lift covering half the floors, even waited 10mins at 6am for a lift to the roof. Spa wasn't working but was hot.
The view was great, the rooftop pool and sunrise over Sydney harbour, the cocktails in the bar were great too.

New ZealandOverall, the staff were friendly, though the level of service varied depending on the person. A Japanese staff member at the reception was particularly kind, but the woman who handled our check-in on the first day was rather unwelcoming. Typically, basic information such as restaurant location and general amenities are explained during check-in, but in our case, no such guidance was provided.
Here is the translated and revised version in natural, professional English: The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing for a restful sleep. Our child loved the rooftop swimming pool, and the adults were able to relax in the jacuzzi. The hotel is located right next to Hyde Park, and our room had a beautiful park view. While it required a bit of walking to access public transportation, most major Sydney attractions—except for the Opera House—were within a 10 to 20-minute walking distance.
