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):
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.).

In a city that is being whitewashed with modernist homogeneity, The Astor retains the old-world charm that Hobart was built on. The quirks are the things that make it interesting.

AustraliaI don’t like that it might not be around for much longer. It’s one of the most special buildings in Hobart
The 1920’s haunted ballroom atmosphere. Straight out of The Shining. Immaculate interior.

AustraliaHotel Astor exceeded my expectations. It was obvious the owners took a lot of pride in the hotel, and were very friendly and cared about their guests. The rooms were warm, comfortable and clean. I hope I have the opportunity to stay there again.

United StatesThe hotel is dated, in fact it's like sleeping in a historical landmark, which it probably is. So there are not electrical outlets where you might want them.
I like the location, the ambiance and the price. The owners are very pleasant. The breakfast is basic but good at a negligible price. I found the external bathroom to be not a problem at all.

AustraliaOnly minor issue is day parking - you'll need to look around as there isn't anything available near-by during the day. The propritor has suggestions, but there are paid car parks within 1km.
Gorgeous and quirky presentation. Lovely service with someone who clearly cares about the building and business. THey offer a very basic (and very cheap) breakfast option. The location is perfect with comfortable walking distance to the harbour front shops and eatieries, museums and markets.

AustraliaThe 1830 ‘s lift old style , so chose the stairs and walked up with heavy luggage to reception on first floor about 20 steps -if I knew before I arrived I would have put my luggage in lift and picked it up on first level , it was as simple as that - and that’s what I did when I left
Warm friendly homely greeting from the amazing colourful couple that reside in and manage this one of a kind boutique hotel , they were more than happy to be of service in any way , the boutique hotel was decorated in an eclectic style , almost biographical of a by gone era , with luxurious coloured velvet feel carpets , beautiful paintings and decor , fresh flowers throughout , and a lovely communal lounge if you want to connect with others .- breakfast simple but adequate , will definitely return to same place to these lovely hosts .
