Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

I question the booking as I never book a room that does not have it's own bathroom and this room didn't. There was a shared bathroom in the passage opposite the room. Tea and coffee making facilities were not available in the room. There was a shared microwave in the passage so if you brought your own supplies, you could make a drink.
Location was ok. It had a bed, refrigerator and television. Parking was available on-site.

On day two I was shifted to a new room, which was much bigger. The mattress is old spring mattress so it's not very comfy. The room had overpowering chemical smell.
The first room I stayed in was very small, but had air con and a comfy bed. Fantastic location, close to my work, home and family.

I did ask for a single bed but that does not mean I should not have my own bathroom and shower. It was more like a really overpriced hostel. Would not stay again
Nothing really. It was convenient to the Monash uni. But frankly if I was there more than two nights I would have checked out. I did ask for a single bed but that does not mean I should not have my own bathroom and shower. It was more like a really overpriced hostel

They should clearly mention what facilities are available in the room. Air conditioning is mandatory in today's world and they should upgrade it.
Booked a room online and on arrival, I got to know that it has no air conditioning or attached bathroom. The bathroom is common for all rooms in the section. Then I upgraded to a family suite that has an ensuite private bathroom and other facilities. The family room is clean and tidy. But very small.

shared bathroom could use an upgrade - the shower head in the single shower (not the accessible bathroom) was way too low, and kind of flimsy. i had to move to the accessible bathroom, which the shower head was higher but the water went everywhere - and pooled at the foot of the toilet, which would be inconvenient for the next person needing the toilet.
location, price, friendly staff, easy check in

Provided car parks are so small you struggle to get your car in - I parked on the street. Lady at front counter was rude and had an attitude. Lights from neighbouring places shine in the windows and the curtains don't stop the light. Four pillows provided and all the same - very hard.
Location was good.

The UHF milk in the fridge was old and past best before date. As a result, only 1 in our fridge was usable- the others either curdled in my hot drink or were frozen /solid in the fridge.

The room was disgusting to say the least . Looked like a injecting room for drug addicts . Mad my skin crawl as it wasn't clean and for the price you shouldn't be charging people the rates you are more like you pay them . The place smelt of cigarette smoke and guests where caught smoking in the rooms and nothing was done . 0.4 out of 10 is a fair rating for this place 😡 and I stay in motels each week as I travel for work
Leaving as soon as I could
