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 bathroom was pretty old and run down and there was some weird suction thing in the shower.
The location is fantastic!! You can walk over the bridge to Circular Quay or catch ferries to just about anywhere your want to go. Also lots to explore in Milson's Point. One of the best spots in Sydney!

AustraliaCarpark is very low and very pokey. Carpark 65 was the one we had and it’s between two concrete pillars so we couldn’t open the doors when parked. Had to get everything out before parking in the spot. The rooms aren’t maintained like a motel room
Location is perfect

AustraliaOlder style, no fan in bathroom - condenses after shower. Couldn't get dryer to work (broken?). Can hear traffic from bridge, Luna Park (earplugs work for this).
Great access to public transport- train and ferry, or walk the bridge to city in 30 mins. Free parking. Small kitchenette. Secure building with passkey. Staff friendly and helpful.

The location of the property was quite good. Parking was assigned which meant we always had a park available. The foyer was beautiful as were the lifts. The kitchen was really cute.

AustraliaWasn't the fault of staff, but the only thing that really disappointed me was No Channel 7 at all. Apparently, due to the weather a few days ago with Arial. Only because I went on Home and Away tour that day, and was a triple episode I tried to watch on my ipad. Other than that, I 110% would stay again.
Staff were just amazing. The room was huge with a full kitchen. It's 100% to me to pay extra for a habour view. The one lady at reception went over and above I feel for us.

PolandFinding the allocated parking spot was tricky. We got the level and the number, but mind you, the numbering is weird. You get yellow painted numbers on the floor, unit umbers on the walls/pillars, white numbers on the black background (painted on the walls) and laminated numbers glued here and there. None of those match. We found our number, parked there, slammed the doors, and off we went, only to return to our car after two days, finding it with a kind note not to park there, stuffed behind the wiper. After a very hard time getting in touch with anybody from the staff, we were told to look for laminated notice, then maybe the white numbers on the black background... Anyway, we found another spot with the same number and parked there, hoping we do not block any residents. Very, very unclear instructions as far as parking is concerned. The apartment is a bit dated, some details would need some care and attention (like lamps that did not work), but generally it was okay. Not obsessing about lab-level cleanliness, but it could be a bit cleaner, especially in corners or under the furniture, where we spotted lots of dust and hair, as well as a carcass of some rather largish bug. Fearing it may just be asleep or meditating, we left it there, undisturbed. The Luna Park is a bit too close, but they do not start very early or run until late, which is a relief. The contact with the staff is somewhat hard. There is nobody to ask for things after hours, just an emergency number. We were lucky to get assistance with the parking spot (thanks, Marc, appreciated).
Great location! You have the Harbour Bridge right behind you, but no associated noise. Ferries are just a short walk away. The Lavender Bay view was very calming, even given the closeness of the Luna Park. We loved the detailed booklet with apartment details, which also gave an insight into the city transportation system and a glimpse of what to do. Great idea, way to go, very helpful. You get two keys, which is quite rare.

The view, and the apartment were well fitted out and very comfortable. The pool and gym were quite good. Will definitely stay there again.
