Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The website promised breakfast included - when i booked the girl didn't answer me directly but i thought as its on the website it shouldn't be a problem. When i came down for breakfast i was told i didn't pay the extra $15 , yet i was not asked to pay when i booked. I am nearly sixty y.o. - i know a good con job when i see one and this was a straight up con job. The stupid thing is that my company was paying and if they asked me for the extra $15 they would have got it. The joke is on them - dumb country hicks. Left hungry and went down the road to a cafe and had a $25 breakfast. The room was fine but I wouldn't stay there again. The girl at the front desk was very rude.
the room was fine - the girl at the front desk was a real pain. rude beligerant and didnt smile

The room was a bit tight to move around. Not enough space for a comfortable chair and for luggage etc. Bare minimum furniture. Clean bedding and towels. Carpet vacuumed. The bathroom adequate in size, had a tight shower space with a pull on curtain which got sucked onto the body when running the shower. Somewhat annoying. Water drainage not the best, but no blocked drains. Nothing disastrous, just observation and feedback. Convenient late check in. Passes value for money test.

My room lacked soap and the dispenser was empty. The television couldn't connect to netflix due to wifi connectivity error... there were no other options. I witnessed an intense social exchange in the street from my window. My room had an odd smell which wasn't really an issue (perhaps mold)
The receptionist was extremely pleasant, polite, patient and accommodating.

“Accessible room” couldn’t even open the room door to get my walker inside! Bed and bathroom door in the way! We put on file I have necessary registered assistance dog - employee was rude, walked in late night/early morning… pointed and waved her pointed hand at us rudely and said along the lines of “you can’t have animals here and it’s not on your booking” Which we had, and she didn’t believe so my carer had to go show her in the system. Rude. Room was not disability accessible and was a joke. I had my medical folder stolen in the carpark. Unsafe and night staff was unhelpful. I’ve been to IBIS before and used to work for Accor group. I’m well aware of hotel and service standards and this wasn’t it. IBIS Budget accommodation options do NOT disregard safety disability facilities or customer service.
Location was okay

The breakfast buffet. Don't choose it, as it is not that great. The review for this hotel is probably rated lower due to the breakfast. Woolworths is a few minutes away,
The room is super clean. Although it is small, it has everything we need as a quick stopover.
