Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandRoom temp was set at 32 degrees, absolutely roasting when I arrived. Took a long time to cool down. Stairs only, hard to carry luggage up tight space. Bad shower, have to close doors or trigger fire alarm.
Location was walking distance to int terminal. Late checking in

AustraliaNo lift available. Fine if you don't have heavy luggage otherwise a pain. A few signs along the way from the terminal to the premises, although at times confusing. Mattress is hard as a rock but it's fine if you just want to sleep for one night. Comfortable pillows though. Room is small, bathroom is claustrophobic as it arely fits in the toilet, to the point that a sink is beside the bedroom. No 24/7 check in.
The position and proximity to the terminal is the plus in this hotel. It's fine for a night or a short stay, definitely not worth the price I paid for a double room.

AustraliaThe price of $309 considering what you get but was obviously a peak price as the other nearby hotels were booked out. The window latch didn’t shut properly so the road noise was loud through the gap and the shower head holder was broken.
Convenient Reception hours. Friendly staff. Room was clean. Bedding comfortable. Short walk to airport (albeit walking via a very dodgy looking area leading to/from the hotel that I’d dread having to use in the dark).

AustraliaIt’s a budget hotel for convenience and delivers on this. Not somewhere you would plan to spend a long time at.
Close to the airport and it had a room available (only hotel nearby that did) when my flight was canceled and I needed to stay overnight. Walking distance (just) from the terminal. Petrol station and a Maccas very close, hotel has no onsite food except for a vending machine and breakfast, which is in keeping with a budget hotel.
