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.).

AustraliaBeing on the bottom floor, was very dark & a bit depressing esp being on my own as would have been nice to look out the window with some sort of view & more light. I will make sure to ask next time not to be on the bottom floor.
The set up was lovely , had all the things I needed & more. Was very quiet also.

AustraliaView from our room on the 7th floor was blocked by surrounding buildings, I am being very picky, but if we were higher I am sure the views would have been much better.
Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful decor, clean, location to eateries in the Star complex, and public transport a short walk away.

AustraliaThe pillows were a little flat/too soft, but this is personal preference
It truly felt like a 5 star hotel. We were served by Ali (I think his name is) and he was so hospitable. Our room was upgraded to the Jewel suite as we were celebrating our wedding. This made everything even more worthwhile. Location 10/10, service 10/10

AustraliaEverything was good.
My fiancé and I stayed here for our anniversary. Tenzing (staff member) welcomed us, checked us in, and wished us love and happiness. We were given a complimentary upgrade to the Jewel Spa Suite which was both surprising and unexpected. The room was gorgeous, quiet, clean and had a beautiful view of the harbour. The spa was a welcome add on and the room service was excellent also. Bed was very soft, warm, clean and comfy. Would definitely stay again.

AustraliaThey should check the pillows and replace the ones that have outdone their life.
Service. I was unwell and need to see a Dr in the early hours of the morning. I could not have received better care. Ultimately an ambulance was called and I was taken to the hospital. I was concerned about my wife but the hotel contacted here to reassure and also provided a fruit platter so she would eat something while I was in hospital.

AustraliaA hotel like the The Darling deserves it's own breakfast/dinning facility. The existing is not within it's space and looks like a canteen on steroids. Sorry, just being brutally honest. Hotels in general should have firmer pillows. Why do you think guests end up folding them?....
