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...).

SingaporeLocation is best suited for car owners not if you're on foot. You will need buses that run regularly, or expensive taxis that are readily available. The motel has a restaurant sadly under refurbishment, other options are a cafe behind the garage across the road, or a further walk 20mins to a small supermarket and shops. A small grudge the motel has no washing machine on site and nothing in easy reach that I could find.
Lovely warm welcome from the host, was offered a room with a view over the valley, and a surpirse swimming pool. Slept well and comes with a good shower unit. I sat on the balcony with a cup of tea as the sun was rising... The location is quiet and helped with a few much needed good night's sleep.

AustraliaCar park is a bit tight to get through, particularly if there are larger cars parked that blocks the way.
Beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. Even though we were on a main road, you couldn't hear the traffic outside once the door was closed.

New ZealandThere is a lot of road noise. Sometimes there was the smell of cigarette smoke if we kept our outside door open. Cooking facilities are limited., suitable for short stays only I'd think. The venetian blinds didn't block out the bright lights outside very well at night. The bed was over-soft.
The facilities were very attractive, clean and the staff very friendly. There are plenty of facilities outside, including a swimming pool, barbecue area, children's playground and sports areas. There's a good view towards the bay.

AustraliaOur room was a bit run down / need some TLC, and the beds weren't the comfiest. It's on a busy road and we found it extremely loud with the constant traffic all night.
The views from the back were good and the kids liked the pool. Room was a generous size!

Australiarestaurant being open. you have to cross over main road, past servo to get to shops. not really a bother in good weather but a cow in the wet; it is hard to navigate the traffic flows if driving
although right on main road to Gosford, once you closed the door, traffic noise was gone rooms comfortable, bathroom has had an upgrade since last visit... admittedly that was about 15 years ago..

AustraliaParking along the front of rooms is exceptionally tight and impossible when another patron doesn't park correctly. Cleaners are not great Bathroom was tiny and if not skinny the door would need to be open to dry after a shower...
Manager was exceptionally helpful even after hours Great location Large area behind for parking 2 entry/exits making it easier to navigate with the highway

AustraliaThe location given on Maps was inaccurate and sent me around the corner where I was staring at bush. The entrance is very steep. One tradie Ute parked badly blocked the only exit overnight.
Upstairs and had get past another person sitting out on the narrow veranda. Great view. Fairly quiet. Tried to use the pool but it was locked. Didn’t know it had rained overnight. Needs some maintenance.
