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...).

AustraliaThe surcharge over the weekend seemed unnecessary, it made the price of drinks exceptionally expensive.
The location is fantastic, and the view of the two landmarks is incredible. They provided use of umbrellas for free, which was fantastic as there was some heavy rain.

AustraliaCheck in was very slow. We waited about 20mins which was tricky with young kids in tow. The hotel feels quite far from food outlets and night-life. On the map is looks close to everything, but it's up a steep hill from the rocks which made popping out for snacks difficult with my young children. The pool was quite cold and lots of other kids doing bombs despite the staff stating no jumping in the pool on the way in, this was in no way monitored or enforced.
I treated my kids to a special night in their first visit to a 'fancy' hotel. This was definitely a rare treat for us. As we dont take holidays often. The room was large and comfortable. We loved the big windows and the bathtub. Buffet and ala carte breakfast was excellent and a gorgeous view. The waffles were quite dry, but everything else was yummy. I particularly loved the little caramel donut bites! The pool and spa was popular with my kids. We packed in 2 swims during our one night stay.

AustraliaThe toilet flush button was quite hard to press.
the room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the harbour, and the bed was very comfortable, and it was so quiet, we slept like babies. The Hotel is in a great location, close to the Rocks and Circular Quay, and just a 6 minute walk for us to do the bridge climb. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the Altitude restaurant which we loved.

AustraliaPool area is quite small with not much seating available. For an indoor pool it was quite cold. Was expecting the buffet breakfast to be like other buffets where you can go back as many times as you want for hot items (bacon, eggs, hash browns etc) instead of only ordering one hot main. The hotel decor could do with a refresh. The towels were small and thin. The hotel is location on top of a hilly section of the city so if you aren’t very able-bodied then you would find it very difficult to navigate the city from its location.
The location is excellent, so close to Circular Quay and public transport (train, light rail and ferry). Bed was large, comfortable and linen was silky soft. Hydration station in lobby was handy to fill up your drink bottle.
