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.).

AustraliaNo pool/spa facilities, room service closed during our stay. Concierge were incredibly polite and helpful, every interaction was pleasant. An older blonde/brown haired lady was degrading and rude regarding us booking in with booking.com, made us feel inadequate for the hotel despite paying like everyone else. Shower had mould in the corners and a wall had a hole that had been patched however obviously not finished. The bathroom door is a bit odd, toilet paper was in an awkward spot when using the toilet. Bed was comfy and clean otherwise. Convenient restaurants in the building with delicious food.
Location was great and presentation of lobby immaculate.

ThailandThe bar staff. Both upstairs and down were rude. They said they were closing the upstairs bar at 10, went for a drink at 9.30 and they claimed to have called last orders 10 mins before and rudely exclaimed they needed 40 mins to clear down. Then a guy on the downstairs bar was super shifty about card payment, charging me twice by "accident". Shame, everything else was amazing about this hotel, highly recommended aside from that. Don't let this put you off staying here though, it really is a fantastic hotel.
Almost everything was exceptional. The location, rooms, facilities, reception and concierge, restaurant workers and so on. All amazing, really exactly what you'd expect for this type of hotel and more.

AustraliaGood location, very quiet rooms. Walking distance to harbour and mid City. Very nice roof top bar with good food. Very helpful staff and Lovely baguettes. Beds are comfy, and rooms are clean. Love the bath sheets, large and fluffy. A shower cap would have been helpful, but not in room, and door entry width is a little small when coming in with bags to the standard king bed room, which are a small room size - but work for a quick 1 or 2 day stay.

AustraliaCheck out was lengthy. We were told by booking.com that breakfast was $40. However, when we went to check out and were honest enough to say we hadn’t paid for breakfast, we were charged $50 each. I provided proof of the $40 offer and the staff member eventually provided a refund
Great location, comfortable amenities. Surprise champagne and treats to celebrate my wife’s birthday.

AustraliaThe main downside was not having an onsite gym/pool which we understand cannot be rectified. And the partnership with virgin active could be excellent except that facility itself was a let down - dirty, sections closed, no staff help etc.
Freshly renovated with lots of spaces to relax and enjoy the hotel. Everything has been done well and seems to be well thought out
