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. My husband doesn’t love the walk up the hill, but that’s hardly a problem.
We love this property…in fact wanting to stay here again was a catalyst for a return trip to Launceston. The property is just beautiful, the rooms are spacious, private and comfortable. Pia, on reception, is a delight.

AustraliaNothing but be prepared for stairs!
The property is beautiful and the rooms spacious and comfortable. Our family stayed in four rooms and they each had their own merits. The common theme was that they were all beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and quality furniture.

AustraliaSO many stairs! If you have luggage, try to drop it off on the main level before parking. If you're not used to driving on Launceston's hills, parking in the allocated car parks is an adventure!
Gorgeous building, great staff, had everything we needed for our stay. It's a little distance out from the main streets, so it was quiet. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay and I would be happy to stay there again.

AustraliaThe bathroom door locked unexpectedly luckily; we had something to unlock it with. Perhaps there could be a warning to check this before shutting the door from the bedroom.
The building was amazing with so much history and character, our room was very clean with the traditional old-world charm. The bath was amazing to soak in as well.

AustraliaParking is available but the first time entering the carpark was a little hairy as you enter off a side street which is on a very steep hill.
Wonderful old home (and once a private hospital) which has been made into very comfortable accommodation. I loved the fireplace. The rooms are very large with everything you'd expect in hotel style accommodation. It is a short walk downtown to restaurants, bars and shops. Launceston is hilly and the building is near the top of a hill, so the walk back up may be trying for some. This accommodation was excellent value for money.
