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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Windows were quite thin and there seemed to be some sort of metal roof outside, so when it was raining, it was impossible to sleep.
Very friendly staff, large room, central location. I could also already check in at 9am because a room was free.

Only discrepancy would be the very thin walls so we could hear a couple arguing all night next door, and doors slamming through the night, but all in all it was a good property.
Great location, just a few minutes from sydney harbour and comfortable beds.

Room was super dim, needed some extra lighting. Property felt a bit tired but you can tell they are trying to make improvements. Shower stalls don’t have enough space for your clothes and products.
Great location, clean & spacious rooms, very nice staff, fast WiFi. Shared facilities are a nice touch.

My room didnt have a AC wich might be problem at summer.
Every floor have very nice kitchen space and also washing machine and dryer. Staff was really helpfull and I really enjoyed my staying. Location is in centrum, near to train station witch makes exploring Sydney very easy with low cost. I recommend this place especially if you are traveling with somebody. It is almost same price to stay here than in hostel and you get your own room.

I feel like the affordable price offsets any complaints I might have. Maybe the lights in the rooms need to be brighter and the curtain rack did come off when I was trying to part the curtains.
I've stayed here a couple of times, it's pretty good for the price, I prefer these types of places where everyone gets their own private rooms compared to hostels. The building seems a little old, but it's well kept and clean. They have communal kitchen and bathroom and they're always clean.

Everything was real good. Nothing that I did not like. However feel that in case of a late arrival after 8 pm some clear instructions could be provided by message or email so the guest can be confident to come in late as well.
The Location was great as I could comfortably travel by train from the International Airport and the Hostel was situated just 3 minutes from Wynyard Station. Really appreciate the host and staff for providing the Room to me before time as I was quite tired. Even though the bathrooms and washrooms were shared across the floor they were quite clean. The hostel provided basic breakfast like muesli and bread and butter and cheese and jam along with options of hot and cold water and coffee and tea. Good location to travel around Sydney. Lots of pubs and restaurants close by. Real helpful and great staff. Allowed to stay in the lounge area even after check out.

The location is near Wynyard Station, it is easy to go anywhere in Sydney. The staff is so friendly. You can use kitchen, washing machine and dryer. There were also convenient stores near the hotel.

A minor point - but the only thing we would mention - is that the lighting in the room was not very good. Only one small lamp on the desk and a weak ceiling light. Didn't detract from our stay at all, but sharing in the interests of a complete review.
We enjoyed our stay in Siesta Sydney. The location was excellent for walking to attractions or local public transport stations. The room was spacious and clean, and the shared facilities (kitchen, sitting room, toilets/showers) were looked after and well equipped. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Would recommend for a simple place to stay in Sydney!

Nothing really :)
The property is right in the heart of Sydney, walking distance to Wynyard station. Convenience stores are nearby, interesting cafes all around. I booked on the day, and it was the easiest check-in process. Pleasantly surprised to see a lift :) Reception personnel was very friendly & helpful.
