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):
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.).

AustraliaNothing I didn’t like.
Rooms are exceptional including decor and very clean, bathroom is roomy. Location is walking distance to many parts of the city. Casino is basically across the road.

AustraliaThe complimentary water was on the desk in the room - not in the fridge. There was no information on the sheet we were given at check-in on how to cast our streaming service/s to the TV - we had to figure that out ourselves. All in all, the size of the room + no added extras didn't really add up to the price of the room. It was beautiful, but incredibly overpriced (as was the $35 cheeseboard we ordered from room service - not enough crackers for the cheese & very small amounts of everything - except the chocolate!)
Check in & car parking. The room was so clean & clearly recently refurbished. The minibar, although we didn't use it - was adorable & well stocked. The pillow menu, although we didn't use it - was awesome. The number of pillows on the bed was great (4 on each bed). The wallpaper in the cupboard is a stunning aesthetic touch. The bathroom was very clean & the towels were fairly good. There's a sliding door you can open for fresh air. The room service was great.

AustraliaUnfortunately our A/C in the room wasn't functioning very well and the room was quite cold. The staff and management did try to assist in sorting it out but the room nver got to the level of comfortably warm. It was fine sleeping and the staff did bring extra blankets in case we got cold at night. It was fine as we only stayed one night but had we stayed longer i would have requested to change rooms. I did get the impression that some rooms have had their A/C upgraded and they were in the process of fixing or replacing so hopefully it isn't an issue much longer
The staff were fantastic and always there to assist. I really liked the styling of the building as well. Modern Art Deco feel without the stuffiness of some other hotels

AustraliaParking a tad expensive if you have a car, $30 a day but in saying that, have seen other hotels more expensive.
Booked a two night city stay at Playford for our 15th wedding Anniversary, in the Junior suite, got upgraded to a beautiful balcony room overlooking North tce, plus surprise wine and chocolate in our room. Room was gorgeous, clean and comfy, spa bath was Amazing (fit 2 people), bed clean and wonderful to sleep in. Fancy Coffee machine in room, beaut minibar, Robes, complimentary water, slippers and all working facilities. Just remember to shut balcony door and then your aircon will work. 😉 Gorgeous pool, spa and gym (open 24hours)and the sauna was so hot, pool towels and lockers provided. This place has thought of everything. Railway, casino, museums, library, Rundle mall close by. Continental breakfast and buffet breakfast offered from $32-$42, Lumo Cafe is a lovely place to sink a few cocktails or have a meal. We even stored our bags after checkout for free so we could enjoy the city a bit longer. All Staff friendly and amazing 👏 Thank you for a wonderful stay

AustraliaThey should create a bigger room service menu - perhaps include the restaurants' specials into 24/7 room service menu. Breakfast options is quiet small.
It's in the middle of the CBD. You can just walk 3-5mins to the main part of the city. I love the design in the room, it's modern. Swimming pool, sauna and spa is 24/7 - we used it every night!
