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...).

AustraliaThe accommodation is partially under renovation and there is no elevator. If you have heavy luggage, it is inconvenient because you need to climb stairs to reach the reception and the rooms. Fortunately, the staff helps you

AustraliaHaving no control of the heating/air conditioning and to go to reception to change any of the settings is a massive inconvenience
We have stayed here previously and it's in a great location, friendly staff & good access to public transport. Our family room was quite spacious, the bedding was clean and comfortable and the room had basic tea & coffee making facilities. The view of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House from the roof top bar is quite spectacular. There was quite a variety of food for breakfast and was sufficient.

United States of AmericaMy special request for the bottom level of a bunk bed due to my bad knee problems when I made my reservation was ignored. This could be easily done, since all 4 people for the room were checked in the same day.
Special thanks to Keong: he is very friendly and helpful, he fixed my suitcase problem, so that I don't need to buy new one for my traveling.

The room had a harbour view and was quiet throughout the night which was greatly appreciated. There was sufficient space for luggage and the bathroom was clean and water was hot for the all important shower.

AustraliaThe weather while I was there was on the rainy side.
The rooftop bar is a standout place to hangout with a view or something to eat or drink. The location is excellent within walking distance to the bridge and wharfs. Lots of historical buildings and streets to walk and the old pub next door has excellent counter meals.

CanadaLifts weren’t working for a whole month I believe due to construction, so lots of going up and down stairs. (Not wheelchair accessible) Someone ate my labelled takeout food from the fridge, not the hostel’s fault but still not fun. Would be nice if beds had curtains
Incredible location and huge well-stocked kitchen, rooftop terrace, common areas etc. Nice to have a cafe right in the reception. Nice to have bathrooms right in dorm. Some staff were super friendly others less so.
