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.).

AustraliaThere is some stairs to go up to the room which might not work for elders. However, my family didn't suffer much and all the advantage for this hotel outperform this little disadvantage. Suggest to park on the York street and unload the luggages first. This will save you few steps of stairs
The decoration is elegant French style and you will have a feeling living in the maison. We booked a 3 bedroom room and it has a super large dining area, kitchen, living room. Our family enjoy the time at Launceston. The shopping district is within walking distance and you can drive nearby to Kmart/Coles/Cataract Gorge.

AustraliaNothing at all - some may not like the stairs (no elevator in the building)
The apartment was huge! Lots of room for the family to spread out. Location is fantastic, short walk to town. Kitchen is huge and has everything you need. Beautiful old heritage building with lots of history.

AustraliaA microwave would have been handy, but not a necessity. The workspace area was small and stool not comfortable for long periods at computer.
I arrived late, so reception had closed for the night. Piia provided good texts, to tell me how to get the keys from the night box, where parking was and I had no problems settling in. I was in room 9, and didn't hear any of the other guests. Room suited my needs.

The ambience of the place. Lovely to stay in a house built in 1863 and tastefully renovated to retain the original features. Luxury. The bed was so comfortable, excellent mattress. The views over the city were fantastic. So easy to walk into the city without having to take the car and lovely, helpful lady on reception.

AustraliaThe rooms were huge, including a large bathroom, and very comfortable. The property is located on the top of a hill so the views were amazing. As many other reviews note, there are quite a few stairs and, if you end up in the overflow car park, a rather steep hill, so if you require accessible rooms, you should keep looking. If that’s not an issue for you, this is the perfect base for exploring Launceston. It’s very convenient to shopping and restaurants.
