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 are 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 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.).

AustraliaIt was incredibly hot weather for 2 nights with no facility to cool down the room except for opening a window-a fan would have really helped! The bed could also be updated. It rained heaving in a storm and the room leeked, water running down the wall behind the bed.
Fantastic location-close to the markets, parks, Chapel street and the Glaas Inc. For attending my workshop.

New ZealandKnow that it is a pub, that closes early ~11/12, but if you're wanting to get early nights and are a light sleeper, perhaps look elsewhere
Perfectly fine, you get what you pay for. Great value for money.

ArgentinaQuite noisy as it's next to a busy pub. Hot shower is not good, it switches between hot and cold randomly all the time. No shampoo.

AustraliaNoisy at night when the pub is open. The "kitchen" doesn't have a cooker, just a fridge and microwave. our flight was early, we arrived to Melbourne at 8 am and we had to wait until the pub was open, at 12pm to check in because no one was there.
The room was clean and perfect for two people. The situation is good, in a quiet suburb, but close to the city and also to St Kilda Beach.

AustraliaTea and coffee satchels provided in rooms but no milk or sugar or even cups either in rooms or shared kitchen to go with them. Plenty of towels provided but no hooks or rails in rooms to hang them on to dry or to hang clothes on even. Water tap in kitchen wasn't working so couldn't fill up jug there or wash dishes. Had to go to shared bathroom for water. The place is improving slowly but still a few minor but basic essentials would make a big difference.
Great location near train station, supermarket, high street shops and pubs in a quiet residential street. Very basic but clean and mostly very adequate and good value for money. Pub downstairs is lovely and lively but noise finishes relatively early enough to get a good night sleep still.

AustraliaNo ac, it was stiffling hot all night and day. The shared bathroom was a long walk away and over Saturday and Sunday right till Monday, it was NOT cleaned. Toilet paper was scattered over the floor of a toilet cubicle and didn't move one millimetre over those 2 days. Little things, like no soap holder in the shower , nowhere to put your belongings while you shower and missing tap handles kbought this old pub down.
Nice clean sheets. Clean and fresh towels. Good sized room. My favourite kind of flat super soft pillows. The staff bought me a table fan

New Zealand1. Check-in instructions are not clear at all so I have no idea who I should talk to for my check-in process. The pin-code I received was wrong. 2. Room wasn't clean. I found a sock under the window. 3. Kitchen is not clean either. 4. Facility was pretty limited (Consider its price, it's fine). The light didn't work in the small bathroom. 5. No chair in the room, very difficult to do anything other than sleep in the room. 6. Only few clothes hook on the door. No way to hang my coat. 7. Only 1 socket with an extension cord in the room. 8. Music was way too loud in the evening. Music kept going on until almost midnight. 9. WiFi connection was pretty poor. Make sure you have mobile data.
1. Location is good. Close to train station. Easy travel to other locations. 2. There are several restaurants and supermarkets around. 3. Tea, instant coffee and electric kettle were provided.
