Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaThe rooms were spacious and comfortable but a little too warm to sleep well. The ensuite bathroom had lovely floor and wall tiles and was overall clean, however the shower area really needs a good scrub! It looked a felt dirty. It seemed a shame not to keep such lovely tiles looking their best.
We liked the historic features of the building and the public spaces available to relax in. There was also a lot of historic photos, items and information about the hotel’s past. The location was very convenient to local shops, restaurants and attractions.

AustraliaA fabulous hotel that needs to be experienced at least once. It's like stepping back in time, with beautiful features in every corner of the hotel. From the comfy lounge area with its beautiful fire, to the bar and dining room everything was amazing. The piano player during dinner set the scene perfectly and the food was great too. Thank you to everyone at the Carrington for a wonderful stay.

AustraliaOur shower was over a spa bath so we didn't use it (older couple) I should have checked on booking. Room was very hot and I couldn't get my Android phone to read QR code to get guest information to adjust heating but partner could. Suggest hotel supply paper copy of basic information in rooms for older generation guests.
Building is very historic and decor is typical of late Victorian to early 1930's period. We had dinner and breakfast in the Grand Dining Room and loved every minute. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Using the 1904 era lift was an adventure and creaky floors added to the whole effect.

New ZealandThe only minor issue was the lift can be a bit temperamental (it is an old style lift with one door that needs to be manually opened and closed which can be difficult to get a handle on at first). This wasn't a significant issue for our group as we were all on the first floor, but guests on higher floors may find it a bit more troublesome to deal with.
The building was a period building with a number of modern features (for example the bathrooms in the rooms were very modern). The rooms were spacious, well heated and had good quality amenities (such as ample plugs, a kettle and fridge in the wardrobe). The included breakfast was more than sufficient with hot and cold options, and the staff were nice enough to reserve a table for our group of nine without us having to request it.

AustraliaFor the time we actually spent here, we enjoyed every minute staying at this hotel for our 2-day Grand Cliff Top Walk adventure, and we're already planning our next visit! Although Day 1 starts at Wentworth Falls, the hotel's close proximity to the train station made easy to get around. After a day of trekking, we couldn't wait to kick back at the hotel, but not before grabbing well-deserved schooners at the Old Bank Pub. Warm welcome at reception. Love the hertigage and creeky floors. Spacious room, the hot tub was a lifesaver for our tired muscles. Later that night, we indulged in a meal paired with local wine at the brasserie and then enjoyed the live music at the bar. Early night to begin Day 2 fresh. Hopped on the train Leura to finish at Scenic World. Memorable birthday getaway – we couldn't fault a single thing. Everything fell into place. Can't wait to do it all over again.
