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 didn’t eat there or require too much as everything was there for us. The two lifts to get the ground floor were a little annoying but it wasn’t a big deal.
Location was perfect and hotel room was neat and spacious. The staff were always helpful and kind when we needed anything.

AustraliaThe variety at breakfast was basic . The valet parking was absolutely rediculous and not worth the money . We waited an hour for our car after checkout . The value for money was not worth it . We will consider other hotels next visit to Melbourne with better parking facilities and cheaper rooms .
The breakfast was ok . The location was great . The staff were friendly enough

AustraliaThe breakfast wasn't the best. Hard to find tea pots, food was cold every day. Staff were doing their best under the circumstances. Long wait for food being cooked to order.

AustraliaThe shower and bath tub combination. My sister, with a bad knee, struggled to get in or out. It was quite dangerous. Next time, I will ask for a walk-in shower.
All staff are extremely helpful. We asked for some little creature comforts, and nothing was too much trouble Even the concierge gentleman down on street level. As I was leaving, he must have seen the confusion on my face. He came outside and explained which tram I needed to use, so helpful thank you

United KingdomWould be good to have a lounge area away from the main bar, but that’s only a minor point.
Excellent location in the heart of the city. Personally I would have preferred the tourist info / brochures in the main reception area rather than in the ground floor entranceway. Breakfast choice was good and staff always very friendly.

AustraliaReception struggled to understand payment request, I wanted to use debit card, had to transfer money onto a credit card at reception to pay. When asking “can I use debit card, she acted like a credit card is a debit card. House keeping was very late in the afternoon, one day we got missed. 5 nights no new bed linen. Drinking equipment washed in bathroom, felt unpleasant, also no detergent used. Only one cup, provided. Window view was air conditioning ducts, was hoping to enjoy city lights at night. I hope all this information helps.
