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...).

AustraliaThere was nothing I didn’t like. But a suggestion would be to get smart tvs that people can log in to their Netflix and platforms like that to watch tv as there really isn’t much on free tv and the evenings were a little boring when we didn’t have plans.
I loved the layout and the ease getting in and out of the building. I love the pool area very relaxing. The hotel was clean and staff were friendly.

AustraliaI just thought that it was fairly basic. It had what we needed but nothing more. The room looked a little drab. There was no sense of elegance or luxury about it at all! However, it was acceptable.
I really liked the location of the hotel, as it was very near to shops and restaurants in Lygon Street.

AustraliaThe only thing we would like to mention was the shower was a little difficult to get the temperature right & a little bit tight between the toilet & the vanity. But neither of these would stop us staying there again.
Loved everything about this accomodation. The room was great. The bed was very comfortable. In particular we would like to send a big thank you to Liam who was a breakfast guy. Awesome young man with a wonderful personality.

AustraliaRather noisy (also rubbish collection day outside!) Carpark beneath very full and carparking spaces difficult to navigate. Carpet could do with a clean. Wasn't a fan of coffee brand and the long life milk.. would like option of skimmed too if had to be long life. Would have liked restaurant open for evening meal.
Staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Location fantastic for our needs. Easy access to City. Room smelt pleasant and bed comfortable 😊 Would stay here again 🌹

AustraliaI don’t think you can do much about this, as it seems to be the way that mattresses are made now. The inbuilt polyester mattress cover makes the mattress hot to sleep on, a bit like having an electric blanket switched on.

RussiaI bit tiny bathroom. The view from the window at some old house and back walls of other buildings (we were at the room 206). A very expensive breakfast: we tried it only once, but still remember that a couple of fried eggs and a cup of green tea cost each of us $35. Terribly expensive and disappointing.
First of all, the location for us was perfect since we came to explore the city and the University of Melbourne. Secondly, it was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. The staff at the reception was superhelpful and with good sence of humour.
