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...).

AustraliaWe stayed there twice. On the first occasion we found the room to have ‘paper thin’ walls. We could hear the people in the room next to us talking all night, going to the toilet and then later on arguing. Not sure if it was because it was an interconnecting room? ( we weren’t connected to them though. The connecting door may have made it less soundproof?)
Rooms were very comfortable. Staff were exceptional. Food was wonderful.

AustraliaThe rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed. The public areas are welcoming and staff care to anticipate guest needs in a way many shiny newer hotels have forgotten.

AustraliaRestaurant staff lacked any semblance of service, running around very "busily" but achieving nothing and never seeming to see the diners. After pre-booking a luncheon, for 10 persons, to celebrate my mother's 99th birthday & advising prior that young children present would need to be served quickly to prevent restlessness, we waited for over an hour before the children's food appeared. The quality of the food presented for the adults was substandard for such a high class hotel more befitting of a 2 star establishment. The duck dish was inedible.
Room was superb. Extremely comfortable bed and spotless beautifully appointed bathroom with superb facilities, daily spotless towels and exceptional daily service. Could not have been better

AustraliaI wasn’t too happy about the concierge because they confirmed the extra bed when I made the booking but didn’t bring the bed until we requested again on-site. They also didn’t deliver our luggage to our room after two hours, so we had to go back and bring our luggage ourselves.
I liked the swimming pool and the rooms.

AustraliaUncomfortable bed, bit ugly decor (eg black marble in the bathroom) The food was rather overpiced, selection poor, and taste average. The room was advertised at 70 sqm, but at least 20 of that was a long dysfunctional corridor. The aircon was also rather noisy.
Decent room size, nice location
