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...).

Staff very friendly and can't do enough to help. The apartment was spacious and very clean. It was equipped with all the amenities expected and extra touches too. It was comfortable and had a wonderful view of the city . The highlight however is the pool and outdoor spa which look over the city, amazing! Central location making it perfect for a city stay.

AustraliaIt was a slight disappointment to find there was no room service or dining options. This was only a minor inconvenience as there are plenty of shops around the city that are easily accessible.
I loved the homely feeling of the apartment, for the same price as a hotel you get to live in a single room apartment right in the city with great views. The pool, sauna and spa were amazing and very clean.

New ZealandThere were structural gaps between the top of the window casing and outside building in our bedroom, meaning there was a permanent low hum (sounded like air con but wasn't). Recommend this be fixed as it was annoying.
Brand new facilities (pool, gym, sauna, steam room) made for a special stay. Fantastic value for money, room was spacious and clean. Located close to airport bus station making it an easy trip from the airport and back. Staff helpful and friendly.

AustraliaSome wine glasses would be good. There is no housekeeping for short stays and reception closed at 6pm so by the time I got back they weren't available to request things like more teabags or dry towels- would be good if they had some kind of system where you could make requests out of hours that can be acted upon in hours when you're out of the room.
Fantastic pool and outdoor spa. Great location near train stations, restaurants, Spencer Outlet Centre, and Flagstaff Park. There was a full kitchen although I didn't use it, and a washing machine.

New ZealandIt would be very hard to fault anything at Aspire.
We give Aspire 10/10. The reception staff were excellent, especially Catherine and Angelene, they would give us suggestions of where to visit and how to get there, they made our 21 night stay so much better. We loved our room on the 23rd floor. The spa and pool are fantastic with views with it being on the 9th floor. Our room was so good looking down at an interesting intersection, always something to look at. It was so good to have a kitchen and washing machine. The tall buildings at night are so pretty. We would never stay anywhere else if we return to Melbourne. Thank you for my birthday gift, very thoughtful. Thank you so much Catherine and Angelene we miss you already.
