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.).

AustraliaWe came home from the wedding early at 10.15pm to catch up at the bar with family & friends and it was closed!
Loved the inviting fire place when we arrived, staff were flexible with an early check-in. The bed was super comfortable, the historical aspect of the building added an element along with the politicians pictures dotted throughout the hallway. The breakfast was delicious too.

AustraliaBreakfast was okay, but not great.
Location is fantastic, close to galleries and old parliament house. Close to Kingston. EV charging is a huge plus and the history associated with the building is interesting. The lounge area is very pleasant.

AustraliaDining experience has gone seriously downhill. Breakfast is limited now the buffet has gone. Using single use plastic jam containers and no marmalade! It’s one would expect in a 1970 motel not a starred hotel. For dinner Not one single dish could be offered without garlic other than a mixed grill. The quality of It also wasn’t that great for the price. Chicken was tough - overcooked?
Hotel decor, comfort and cleanliness perfect. Staff delightful.

AustraliaThat parking was outdoor and expensive. It should be free. The bedding is not warm enough for Canberra winters and all beds should have duvets not synthetic blankets. The heating was difficult to control.

AustraliaThe restaurant is VERY expensive. We would have liked to have dinner in the hotel but the prices put it out of our reach.
Wonderfully comfortable stay for our family (grandparents, parents and kids) in three lovely rooms. Rooms are spacious, super clean and nicely decorated. Well designed too - heaps of power outlets for charging, easy to find light switches and air con set to the perfect temperature. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely public spaces for a drink or a coffee, and a lovely courtyard with chairs and umbrellas.

AustraliaThere was an electric burning smell in our room at 5.30am on Sunday morning. We got up, unplugged all power points then wondered if it was the reverse air conditioner in heating mode so switched it off.
The fire in the lobby and the convenience of the bar serving coffee and tea etc throughout the day.
