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...).

AustraliaIt would have been good to have a toilet upstairs as the bathroom and bedrooms were on the lower level . It was a bit difficult to manage large suitcases to your room as gravel path with red tussock plants restricting access .
lovely big room upstairs with great appliances if you wanted to cook meals . lovely views and quiet although major road at front of property.

AustraliaParking very bad, not enough space hotel guests. Standard room a small box, had to upgrade at additional cost. Carpet stained, kitchen tap very loose, furniture tatty. I expected a room in better condition for the money paid. I accidentally left an item in the room on departure, only discovered this later that day. Emailed the hotel, two emails and two days later received a reply, item not found. It should not be this hard to receive a response.
Location, comfortable bed, good bathroom. Staff friendly and helpful.

SingaporeThe entrance to the apartment is shared with another apartment next door. The housekeeping staff who were cleaning the next apartment placed their bags and equipment right outside our door. We have just checked in and wanted to move our bags into our apartment but couldn’t because the path was blocked. When we were checking out, the bags were again placed outside our unit, waiting to clean the room after we leave. The door of the apartment oddly opens to a wall right in front and you have to open the door 180 degrees to move into the apartment. Didn’t expect the 2 bedroom apartment with Mountain View to have 2 levels. The lounge area is upstairs and rooms are downstairs. Not exactly suited for my elderly parents so they stayed downstairs in their room mostly.
Super spacious and very clean apartment with great view. Close to amenities like 4 Squares supermarket and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!!
