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.).

Verified reviewIt was comfortable and quiet.
There is no bathroom signs near the pool and no signage to tell you to dry off before entering. The towels provided do not dry your body, so they were not helpful. A members of staff told me not to come inside without drying off. I apologised and other hotel stayers made comments to me in the elevator about how that scold made them feel uncomfortable.

Verified reviewRoom was clean and tidy.
There were no water bottles for drinking water the water provided inside jug in the fridge had weird smell. Secondly, there was no one to help give a hand to luggage and you have to carry all your stuff to your floor on your own
Dear Uzma, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found your room clean and tidy, our housekeeping team will be happy to hear that. Regarding the drinking water, we understand your concern. Please be assured that the water provided is safe for consumption. The slight smell you noticed is a result of the local water treatment process and is quite common in many parts of Australia. That said, we understand it may be unfamiliar to some guests, and we appreciate your comments. As for luggage assistance, we understand that some hotels offer full-time porter services. However, at our hotel’s scale, this service is limited and available only upon request. We appreciate your understanding and will look into better communicating this at check-in to manage expectations more clearly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back for a more seamless stay in the future. Warm regards, Jessica Doan

Verified reviewI had room service dinner. The view was excellent from the 5th floor balcony.
I ordered Fish, chips and salad for 2, plus a garlic bread. 3 meals arrived. the staff did take the 3rd meal away and didn't credit me for the 3rd meal which I appreciate. the fish was way over cooked, as the batter was a dark brown. this in no way reflects on the service, or appearance of this hotel chain. which has been excellent during my previous stays at Ridges Palmerston.
