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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 room was very basic and not overly attractive. It didn't feel luxurious at all. The bathroom was great though and the bath was a bonus. We asked for a room with a nice outlook, but our room mostly faced a brick wall. The pillows also were not great.
Location was fantastic as we were cruising out of Circular Quay, so it was a 5min walk to the ship. It was also only a 15min walk into the city. Right next door is a little cafe where we had a fantastic breakfast which was well priced. The light rail is also only a 5 min walk away.

The location of the hotel is amazing for those that do not mind a quick tram ride or a walk to the shops. The rooms and beds were comfortable and clean. The staff are so attentive and helpful, throughout the entire stay. The buffet breakfast had so many options for all the family.

Only 2 minutes walk to trains, ferries, trams, cafes. Kids loved the pool and being able to use the pool from 6.00am to 11.00pm is far more accessible than most places we've stayed. Staff were super friendly

Other than that. The rooms are very dated and are in need of renovation. Staff mixed me up with another guest with the same last name and took me to the spa suite room which looked like a hostel. After almost an hour of sorting it out, I was finally taken to my room with the opera house view, which is slightly better than the spa suite room. The bathroom doors, tiles, facilities are looking tired and dated. If the rooms could be renovated to as nice as the lobby, that would be great.
Location is fantastic. A short walk to circular quay and opera house.

The customer service was pretty slow and standard, though the front desk was full of staff. I called about 20 mins prior to get my car ready and still wasn’t ready when I reached the lobby. The valet parking was pretty pricey, but paid for convenience and hence service was slow. The bathroom was dated, no fan, needed drawers/cupboard at the vanity. I was expecting more from a 5 star hotel.
The pool was nice and not cold. I really liked the portable cot, my baby slept well. The beds were comfy. The buffet breakfast was great
