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.).

AustraliaOnly downside was the light on was very dark and my chromecast wasn’t working on the t.v - but that’s not enough to lose points it was just the only negative.
Everything about this stay was amazing and I wish I made the most of the facilities on site. Everything was available for an amazing stay. The room was bigger than I had expected, there was plenty of space and storage for everything.

AustraliaWe wanted an early check-in which I called the previous day to make sure could be accommodated, however the room was not ready when we arrived. We were offered an alternate room, which we accepted, however lost the King Bed that was the original room we had booked.
Service was great, the room was great, facilities were great. Breakfast was great. Had a good time staying, and would do so again.

United Arab EmiratesNothing to mention.
The hotel had a very hip vibe to it. Very Clean. Service was exceptional. Credits to Lara at the reception for the hospitality and exceptional service. We stayed for 2 nights to celebrate our 10th Year Wedding Anniversary. We loved the attention to detail provided. And added value given. They staff prepared a cake and greeting card and offered complimentary drinks in celebration of our Anniversary. We loved their 24 hour swimming pool which we enjoyed to ourselves during our special day. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely plan to return.

AustraliaWith the amount you pay for the room it would have been nice for parts of the mini bar to be at no charge. The cocktail bar looked amazing but not worth the money to pay for.
The room came with all the necessities that you need, very comforting and thoughtful.

AustraliaOnly minor things that we felt was a bit of a let down for a 5 star hotel was, the bar Curious was closed on Monday night which was such a shame as we were really looking forward to seeing it for the first time as we checked out on the Tuesday. We didn't end up using the indoor pool as when we went up there the water was quite cold, which we thought was strange as it's meant to be in use all year round.
Our first time staying at the W Melbourne. We arrived on our wedding night quite late (and wet), staff greeted us immediately. Check in was seamless and quick and we had been notified that the hotel had upgraded us from the cozy room to the wonderful room, which was so kind of them. When we arrived to our room, to our surprise we were greeted with a bottle of champagne on ice and a very detailed and kind written card by Mary from Concierge congratulating us on our wedding. The amentities in the room were nothing short of amazing, there was almost everything there you needed without needing to pack any amenities from home. The bed was large and super comfy, we had a great sleep both nights. The buffet breakfast had a number of options to choose from, which we enjoyed. Although the only thing that let the breakfast down was that the egg options were pre-cooked and sitting there so by the time we took some and sat down they went cold. However this was only a minor thing. Overall we had a lovely stay for our wedding and my husband's birthday celebrations and would definitely stay again.

AustraliaThe pillows were incredibly uncomfortable. We were unable to enjoy a full night's rest due to the height of the pillows which was such a shame because the bed itself was great. This was the only negative experience at W Melbourne.
Beautiful interiors and facilities - we particularly loved 24hr pool access. Staff were helpful, prompt to answer all questions and did their best to facilitate special requests. Room service dining was excellent.

AustraliaThe room had two double beds one intended for our son and one for my husband and I but they really were on the smaller side so one of us had to share with our child for more room. Other than the beds were comfortable.
The service was fantastic. The staff were so friendly and helpful no matter how busy they were. The glass of sparkling wine during check in was a lovely bonus. We had room service for breakfast and it was delicious. The buffet breakfast while on the pricier side was fantastic. Our 8 year old who is usually picky found so much food he loved.

AustraliaHowever there 2 thing that would have made my stay exceptional: The bedspread was a little rough on the skin, not soft enough to my liking and other hotels ive been. That definitely a big factor for me and my husband as it incorporates to a good night sleep. The Pool could have been a little warmer to really enjoy an indoor pool in adults hours or even better had a Jacuzzi. This would have made the area more popular and people would have stayed longer and thus using the bar more which could be a plus for the hotel revenue.
Everything was perfect, beautiful vibrant hotel from the amazing smiling customer service, dancing vibe bedroom, to the sophisticated bathroom with little touches that made the difference compare to other hotels, amazing toilet jet which i personally find delighting, swimming pool area and ambiance.
