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...).

United KingdomMajor note to managers. We found the fire doors on the stairwells “wedged” open. Please stop this as if a fire were to happen it would travel up the stairwell. Reception needs new automated doors on the front and the new/old furniture to be stored else where (perhaps in an apartment awaiting refurbishment).
Location to Cuba street and museums. Flat had been renovated to an amazing high standard (this comment based on walking into reception). Bed was very comfortable and spacious, bathroom was amazing. Staff were brilliant as we have found across all our stays in these lovely islands.

AustraliaThe reception and foyer area are quite drab. Cracked glass in front door and mattresses stacked against wall aren’t very inviting. The lift had a really mouldy smell about it.
Free parking onsite. Great views from room over city. Close to Cuba street restaurants and walking distance to CBD. Rooms are quite spacious and have been renovated.

A great motel for location and ease of parking in the city. The rooms are spotlessly clean with all you need supplied, bright and as much fresh air as you want. It is an older motel that is well maintained. The staff are very welcoming. It is quiet and having windows open does not mean you are blasted with city traffic noise. We enjoyed our stay and would use this location again. Many thanks Heather and John

United KingdomWe had to leave before reception was open so were unable to get out of the front door and had to carry heavy suitcases down the stairs to get out.
The location was near the non-harbour end of Cuba St and therefore close to shops, restaurants and easy walking distance of the centre. The room was clean and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen, providing all we needed. We were able to park there off the street. The people in reception were very friendly and helpful.
