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 are 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 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.).

The main issue was the fact it was 2 single beds pushed together, this is never a comfortable way to sleep. If you advertise a room as having 1 large bed it should be a queen or king bed, NOT 2 singles pushed together.
The hotel is well.placed in the Darwin CBD

The gym was, not good at all. And no pool kinda sucked, but that was outside staff control and we were informed of the pool beforehand.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Upon hearing our request for laundry they directed us the opportunity to join their membership and 'spin a wheel' to get a room upgrade with rooms that had a washing machine and a dryer. Upon failing the first couple of attempts and getting 'free drink' and 'free breakfast', they overheard us saying how work already provides us with free breakfast and drinks, so they had us keep spinning the wheel until it landed on 'room upgrade'. This was incredibly unexpected and very welcomed.

The only complaint was that the shower floor level was badly done...resulting in a 1.5 cm puddle of water always there....including some flooding during use. Room 1222. One of the elevators is always kept as a service elevator and I got it half the time...feels very factory like...
Friendly staff and good location. The check in was quick. The elevators very fast. I really liked the higher floor. The room was very quiet. The rain shower and strong water pressure fantastic. There are 2 ceiling fans as well as quiet air conditioning so u can get the comfort right. I thought there would have been foxtel/Netflix but only free TV is available. Not a big deal for me...

I didn't like the fire alarms that went off two days in a row. Clearly not the hotels fault, but there just so Dam loud.
It is central, walking distance to many places. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The shower was amazing! Rare to find a hotel with good water pressure. Would definitely come back!!

The stove top needs to be cleaned with specific ceramic/glass cleaner and a scraper. Staff sent me down the back when I arrived to the elevator and to use an intercom without checking if they at reception should be checking me in, they didn’t even ask my name etc. very tired arriving at 2am and not just being greeted and checked in, booking stated I would be around 1am check in so not many at that time I imagine.
Peaceful and convenient to everything.
