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...).

AustraliaFor the price point and luxury feel I would normally expect a heated all weather pool and a bathtub in my room. I knew these things didn’t exist when I booked so i consider it more of an observation than a dislike of the property
Art deco elegance. Fantastic location in easy walking distance to The Shrine (great for attending the ANZAC dawn service). The quality of food and beverages in the restaurant was exceptional

AustraliaMaybe advise cost of car parking prior so alternative could be sourced. $70 per day is excessive.

AustraliaAs a light sleeper, wasn’t able to sleep with the aircon/heater running as the fan is a bit loud. However, able to switch it off so not a big deal as it was a cool night. But this was a minor issue.
The decor and styling was beautiful! All the staff we dealt with were incredibly helpful and friendly! It was also close to the Shrine of Remembrance, which was great. As my partner is a Veteran and we were attending the Dawn Service on Anzac Day.

AustraliaWe planned a 1 week holiday around Victoria, starting with 1 night at the Royce. The hotel is just stunning and felt like the a Melbourne gem! Nate and the team were there to help with anything that we needed. The beds were comfortable, the mini bar had cute local snacks, and the room included a dyson hairdryer and luxurious bath robes. We had a balcony with tables that looked out over trees and the city. It was easy to catch a tram to Chapel Street for dinner. After dinner, we enjoyed a nightcap at the gorgeous bar inside The Royce. Overall, it was a fabulous stay and I'd love to come back again!

AustraliaWe enjoyed almost every aspect of the stay, although the discordant and unfathomable “music” that accompanied our evening meal was an irritation.
Sumptuous decor throughout provided a luxury feel even before check in.

SingaporeEverything would be perfect except for housekeeping's remiss in replacing the empty facial tissue box two days in a row. It can be overlooked for one day but when it's two consecutive days it became an annoyance.
Room decor, fittings and furnishings are top notch in style and comfort. Everything felt brand new and clean too. In-room dining was excellent. Front desk staff are professional and prompt to help.
