Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaThe only grumble was having to walk around the corner to get back inside again. Good exercise on a fine day but we had one windy evening!
We had drinks in the very stylish bar, lots of atmosphere, cosy and very cleverly redesigned from once being a prison. It was also handy having the shopping complex just a short walk from the reception.

AustraliaThe air conditioning only went as low as 18 degrees which was too warm for me.
Being in the old Pentridge Jail grounds was so interesting. My room was spacious and clean and had an opening window which was great for air circulation. The staff were helpful. Easy to get the train station and the tram stop was just across the road. A small supermarket was near by as well as places to eat.

New ZealandOne of the lifts was out of order for the weekend which lengthened waiting times but that was a minor hitch in the scheme of things
Great place to stay, handy to transport and has all the amenities like a supermarket, cafes, liquor store, brew bar. The history of the place lends to the ambience.

United StatesThe location is such that uber drivers at the airport kept cancelling my rides to the hotel. It was around midnight, and I just wanted to get to the hotel and relax for the night. I eventually had to get an overpriced taxi. Since the hotel is not in a booming part of town, drivers apparently don't want to go there since they won't get another ride after dropping you off.
The staff and breakfast were phenomenal. My room was also great. One of the front desk staff even let me borrow a Myki card, and showed me how to add funds to it. This was great since it prevented me from having to buy one. I returned it to the desk before departing. The pool is also very cool, and I had it to myself.
