Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Bathroom is a bit of a distance from the rooms. Sometimes it takes a bit of a walk and sometimes there are some constrains when it rains. Its will be daunting to get there as one may wish. Other than that i pleased with the location and tidiness of the accommodation.

AustraliaAt times the shared facilities were a bit untidy. More to do with fellow guests than the facility.
Staff were very helpful and prompt to respond to any queries. The rooms were tidy and clean. For the price it was very good value for money.

AustraliaStruggled due to lack of staffing, I couldn’t figure out where to store my bags and check in was complicated. Lack of staff also results in rowdy guests, I had a fellow guest state their shoes had been stolen by another.
Warm heater, comfy space after hiking. Easy walk into town.

AustraliaAbout a 10–15 min walk from the Greyhound stop and shops. Clean, basic room with a fridge. Well-equipped kitchen and shared bathroom, though not always left clean by other guests. Laundry and dryer reasonably priced, plus iron and board available. Towels provided at no extra cost. Photos are somewhat accurate, maybe a bit more polished than reality. Reception not staffed, but quick replies via WhatsApp. I was also able to store my luggage during a camping trip at no extra cost. Felt comfortable as a solo traveler.

AustraliaKitchen a bit short on some items so if you plan to cook it might be an issue. No complimentary coffee, sugar or salt.
Not a 'party' hostel. Just normal people looking for clean and comfortable accommodation in a decent location. Tv room has good size tv with all the main services (except Disney 😭)
