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.).

AustraliaWith the resevation through Bookings.com , I still had to stand at the counter , waiting for the Chinese receptionist reading the computer for more than 20 minutes to sort out the booking. The promise of matching the quote $882 by stayforlong , as shown by my Iphone was not kept by Bookings.com. I still had to pay $918 for the same 2 nights He stated that I could have paid less if had had called and booked directly with Crown Metoprol. I learnt something and have lost faith in Bookings.com.

AustraliaVery disappointing the bathroom sink clogged up each time we used it. Dirty water sitting in sink without draining, was not enjoyable at all. Also the spa on Level 27 was out of use when we went up as it had to be filled and topped up with chlorine . We had to use the pool instead, which I didnt think was warm enough.
Superb location, amazing comfy beds. Loved the view as well

AustraliaThe desk is a bit sticky so needed some proper cleaning. My upgrade wasn’t worth paying extra. I paid for a nicer room and for a city view but got a view of graffiti and a roof top for the parking lot I think🤔 . There was no conditioner or body wash in the dispensers in the shower so I had to use shampoo. Room service brought some up after I showered so it was okay.
It was close to food and entertainment. Bed was comfortable. Room service was quick and the room service staff were really nice. Food was really delicious too. Spent hours having fun in the Crown, the restaurants the alcohol and the casino.

AustraliaThe pool area was a highlight for the kids, but unfortunately during our stay the spa was freezing cold, and we noticed other guests also mentioning it. Hopefully this was just a one-off issue
We had a wonderful stay at Crown Metropol. The room was spotless and beautifully presented, with comfortable beds and a nice view. The location is perfect, close to everything and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend!

AustraliaSuggested improvements: Modern upgrade may be required eg USB plug ins required for charging devices (rather than PowerPoints); complimentary water, maybe a comb in amenities kit. My child also recommended YouTube on tv.
Incredible pool/spa, and views from that level. Great location, good restaurants within precinct, and close to Southbank- safe stay for kids, secure and everything you need is close by.

AustraliaThe room wasn’t as clean as I expected. The bathroom needed a good scrub, the toilet roll holder was half hanging off. There was a dirty wet face washer hanging over the shower screen when we arrived. An electric toothbrush, plastic bag and a roll of tape under a bed… Buffet breakfast was over priced for what was on offer. Pool was nice but could have been warmer.
The beds were comfortable. The pool was nice and a good size with a nice area around it.

AustraliaPool smelt - there is carpet and sun lounges which obviously gets damp and so it has that gross foisty damp rank smell. The toilets in a glass box right next to the shower, I love my partner but I don’t need to be able to see him taking a shit. Bed was uncomfortable, the sheets are so crinkley you’re woken up if someone rolls over. No value for money at all, $820 for 2 nights, parking $50, breakfast I think was something like $55 per person which is just ridiculous unless they’re offering gold leaf covered bacon. Pube in the bathroom which wasn’t ours and mould. Bathroom layout doesn’t offer privacy, there’s no walls around it so if someone gets up to use the bathroom and switches a light on it shines into bedroom area, not great when you have a family room. No PowerPoints next to the bed, there were however 4 in the bathroom - not where I want to charge my phone. Check in is super clunky, having to queue for almost 20 minutes - I get it’s a big chain but I’ve never queued to check in before.
Location was amazing for convenience.
