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...).

AustraliaCleanliness of the room was not great ..there policy of doing room service once in 3 days was not mentioned when we booked, so we had to literally ask for towels....glasses and cups in the room were old and not clean... carpet was old and dirty. A microwave in the room would be helpful as they didnt have any lunch or dinner service........paying almost $200 a night was not worth the way room and service was
Location was fine and the breakfast was decent

United KingdomThe reception closed early due to Easter and none of the resaurants were open.
The hotel appeared to have the only rooms above ground in Coober Pedy. The rooms were easy to access and the hotel was easy to find. The rooms were large withe all of the necessary facilities.

Australiashelf above sink had hair bristles from previous guess shaving shower was fairly poor spray unfortunately function was on following day after our stay so we weren’t able to visit the cave museum / bar / restaurant etc downstairs which was sad For an underground room experience to be just inside the door was a bit naff - probably the worst room location as would have liked to be right down a corridor away from front entrance - the backpackers has rooms that are a better experience in my opinion for half the price ! This trip was for my daughter to experience underground stay this wasn’t up to standard unfortunately not for the price we paid.

AustraliaI booked a room underground specifically for this stay but was given a motel room aboveground. When I asked the staff about this, the reply was 'sorry we are fully booked'. Not good enough. I paid extra to stay here for the underground experience. I could have stayed elsewhere for less if I had known we weren't going to get an underground room.

AustraliaPosition of the room we stayed in (Room 34 - at the front of the property) was very loud with cars and patrons coming into and exiting the property. There was a lack of defined car parking spaces. I just parked where I thought was OK as there was no signage anywhere indicating what was and wasn't parking area. There was water damage to the ceiling directly above the bed which had caused a hole in the ceiling that hadn't been repaired. The room had a musty smell on arrival and it was quite hot in the room as the air conditioner was off. Rooms are dated and definitely could do with renovation as one of the more expensive accommodation options in Coober Pedy.
Good location. Facilities at the hotel seemed nice however we didn't venture inside. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Check in was easy and the staff member was very helpful and polite. Good location with shops and restaurants directly across the road.

AustraliaWe made the choice to stay in an above ground room during pretty serious heat. We have previously stayed here and would now go the underground room every time.
It is thoroughly cleaned, in a great location and good value for money. There is plenty of parking.

AustraliaRoom didn't have microwave only small kettle. This would help a lot with heating up meals. There was small fan on the wall that didn't have enough power to push the air as far as beds so it was bit hot, we had our door open to let the cold air from the corridor in.
Central location, comfy beds and unique experience staying underground. Pool was great on the hot days.

New ZealandThe restaurant is closed for renovations - and has only breakfast but not dinner. The place needed a real good clean and was pretty tired looking. Having a pokie bar should be more to the side. You don’t want to be harassed by drunk locals in the daytime if you’re a tourist. Two nights too much - probably only need one night: the tourist activities are pretty tired and worn.
The location was central and it had a pool.
