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...).

AustraliaThe soundproofing is poor. Our room was opposite reception and the gap under the door echoed everyone’s comings and going throughout the day and night.
Beautiful property, great location. Short walk to Local pubs and nightlife. Short walk to public transport.

AustraliaThe bedding was lovely however both single mattresses were sagging in the middle and the pillows were very firm. As others have pointed out, the bathroom is tiny (very narrow) which we coped with but could be tricky for some. The street parking is 2 hour time limited 8AM-8PM Monday-Sunday. We were using our car during the day so this was not a problem.
Just as it looks in the photos! Simple, stylish modern decor. Our twin room at the back of the hotel was quiet although there did not seem to be many quests when we stayed so that probably helped.

AustraliaBed was a little hard and there were no face washers. Had trouble with the TV.
Upon check in went to my room and another guest was in there. She had gone into my room by mistake. Guest services were fantastic. They upgraded me to a nicer room for free and then when I locked myself out they happily let me into my room. They couldn't be anymore helpful.

AustraliaThe room I was in must have been adjacent to some kind of a motor. I couldn't leave the window open for fresh air (room was a bit stuffy) because the motor kept turning on and waking me up. Condiments were lacking in quantity e.g. three coffee sachet and my son and I drink strong black coffee in the morning. Amenities such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion were nice but not sure if there would be enough for a family of three, as per room configuration.
Beautiful building. Great staff. They were very responsive. Great for family. Uber deliveries for groceries and food were very very quick. Premium handwash in the bathroom. Amenities such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion were nice.

AustraliaOur room looked onto the laundry shed, whose large industrial grey metal door was left open even when no-one was working. It would be nice to paint the door in the property's palm-tree theme and close it when the laundry wasn't operating. Also, the entrance door to our room didn't fit well so at night the bright hall light shone round its edges. I'm not very light sensitive, but it was still annoying enough to make me lie a towel down to at least block the light coming from underneath the door.
It really is a lovely hotel, perched in a quiet block near the top of a hill, with well maintained gardens adding to its peaceful ambience. The interior decoration has a black-and-white palm tree theme which seemed a perfect match for the stately building. Access was easy even with an after-hours check in, while the front desk is open for very generous hours given the relatively small size of the hotel. The on-street parking was surprisingly plentiful.
