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.).

New ZealandWas quite expensive for what it was really. Very strange shower toilet setup which really required planning because it does get a tad wet after using the shower.
Staff nice, close (walking distance) to the airport after a late flight and clean.

AustraliaAn airport hotel without a lift is an absurdity when many guests will have heavy suitcases. Even for a "budget" hotel it's not cheap for what you get, but then again all Australian airport hotels are overpriced. It's adequate and it does the job, but that's all.
Convenient for the airport. Adequate facilities

AustraliaMould through the bathroom. Noise from other residents. No lifts so had to carry my heavy bag up stairs. Peephole in door could be looked in through from outside. Bed smelled like men’s deodorant.
Close to the air port. Person in reception was kind. Reasonable price.

United KingdomThere were not enough plugs in the room/bathroom. Beds were slightly hard to lie on. Was not expecting anything great but the price was quite high for what you were given. I suppose you pay for the location.
The girl at front desk was lovely and very helpful. It was also perfect location for an early morning flight.

AustraliaHow long have you got?! Dusty to the point of waking up not breathing properly. The sheets were covered in dust. It is a long walk to T4 (25+ mins) and no taxis or ubers will service, nor does Ibis have a shuttle. If it’s raining or you are old/disabled forget it! The room is not blacked out - there is bright light from under the door and from the street. The bathroom is the size of a shoe cupboard - if one is in any way not small they would have trouble negotiating the facilities. Overall, we needed a few hours’ sleep before an early flight and the hotel was inadequate even for that basic purpose. Would not go back!
It seemed good on the app. Cheap and close to airport (T1 or T2)

Ibis Budget Melbourne is very close to the airport, an easy walk for an early morning flight. Breakfast is plain continental and there is a vending machine for snacks. It is exactly as advertised, a budget hotel, clean and friendly and very convenient.I enjoyed my stay, thank you.

AustraliaPrice was to much for what you got, was very budget accommodation and NOT a budget price. The room was tiny and bathroom a shoe box within a shoe box, otherwise it was clean and tidy. But considering the room and the 20 minutes walk with luggage I would look at other options for price they want.
