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...).

There wasn't much we didn't like. The kitchen facilities at the top of the building could do with a bit of love, but it wasn't an issue for our morning cereal before exploring. (Plus the outside area is a good spot to sit, but in the chilly weather, some wind protection would go far!
City Centre Budget Hotel met all of our needs! We were spending a night here just to explore the city. The location was perfect, so close to Parliament Station and the free inner city Tram. A great location for China Town, restaurants, the gardens and the theatres. The actual hotel was clean, easy, and exceed expectations for the price. It's basic, but practical. All the other guests were of a similar age (late 20's, early 30's) and everyone was lovely. Minimal street noise of a night too as it's tucked away on a alley street.

the cleanliness of the bathrooms was less than ideal throughout the day. i saw people cleaning in the morning but i think it would be beneficial to have someone go through in the evening as well.
the hotel was in a fantastic location, close to theatres and cafes and public transport. and a short walk from everything. very convenient. the staff were friendly if i needed anything, and the room was comfortable.

The room had a bit of a musty smell when I entered, so you might want to have room spray or sanitizer to spray it off. Room don’t get cleaned everyday and there’s no air conditioning, just a fan but honestly i came during the summer and it was fine cos temp drops at night.
The location was great! If you are a budget traveller, it’s a pretty decent stay. I mean i only need a place to sleep and shower. Since it is located in CBD, it’s really value for money! It was just a 10min walk from MCG & it’s in between very expensive hotels like the Savoy and Sheraton so felt pretty safe. I got the shared bathroom option since that was the only one available and the baths were pretty decent. There’s 2 where the showers and toilet is in one bathroom so for Muslim travellers this is handy than going for the multiple-dorm like shared bathroom. Rooms don’t get cleaned everyday tho so it’s up to you to maintain it the entire stay. I didn’t opt to use their towels or the laundry facilities but if you’re ok with those then it might be handy.
