How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA beautifully maintained apartment, exceptionally clean and comfortable, situated in a prime location close to all amenities.
Unfortunately, the staff at this property displayed shockingly rude behavior, which I never expected to encounter, especially in the hospitality industry. The layout of the property is confusing, with misaligned entrances between the car park and the hotel, leading to difficulty in finding the correct lift. Access passes are restricted to specific lifts for the apartments, and after trying several lifts without success, I called for assistance. When I reached out for help, the staff were visibly annoyed by my struggle to navigate the building. One staff member even had the audacity to raise her voice and speak to me disrespectfully, simply because she had to repeat herself several times. Despite apologizing for my confusion, she continued with a demeaning tone. Standing outside in 32-degree heat with heavy suitcases, I was furious!!. I firmly asked her to stop speaking to me disrespectfully and reminded her that it is her job to assist guests, particularly in a building with such a complex layout. Eventually, a maintenance person helped me access the apartment. When I called back to request the name of the staff member involved, both employees refused to provide their details. After a long drive, rushing to check in, and preparing for an important summit, this experience left me deeply dissatisfied. I typically avoid writing negative reviews, but this kind of behavior should not go unchecked. Guests deserve respectful and helpful service, and I hope this feedback encourages the staff to reconsider how they treat others. No one else should have to endure such an unpleasant experience.

Verified reviewComfortable apartment, great location, very spacious with great facilities: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry.
The booking process is unnecessarily lengthy (between the management and Booking.com I received 8 emails requesting info & waivers); the keys have to be collected in Kingston about 10mins drive from Braddon where the apartment is & not easy to locate the office; the apartments have 2 separate towers and the paring situation is not intuitive. It´s a comfortable, clean apartment (you get some traffic noise if that bothers you) with great facilities - but the above made the experience a bit painful.

Verified reviewThe access card was unreliable. Key collection on the other side of Canberra to the apartment was awkward.

Absolute pain to pick up the keys and return them (20 minutes drive + to pick up and then return away from apartment where stayed). If I hadn’t had family with a car it would have been even more of a significant issue

Verified reviewA short walk to cafes, restaurants, or the tram if you want to go further.
The key pick up point is on the other side of the city.

Not being about to check in at apartment And having to drive past apartment over to another suburb to collect keys from a real estate. And having to return keys to real estate when checking out.
Thank you for your review! We do state in the T&C on booking.com & the confirmation you receive that you are required to collect keys from our central reception in Kingston.

Verified reviewGreat position for pubs and eateries. Easy access to routes for galleries, Floriade and sightseeing. Unit was well equipped. Very quiet building with secure parking.
The sofas were very uncomfortable for all our group. Having to collect and return keys across the Commonwealth Bridge to Kingston. The trip added an hour to our home trip on checking out to return keys.

Verified reviewContemporary styled apartment with loads of light in a great location in Braddon. Very secure building and undercover secure parking. Loved the little bonus room (study) as it was a great area to store bits and pieces away from the living space. Very good appliances, pots and pans etc which makes it suitable for an extended stay.
