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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaA staircase up onto main reception floor. A bit difficult when you’re seventy seven with a case. However if I’d left the case and asked the young staff to assist I’m sure they would have.
Friendly reception staff. Very comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Good tea/coffee making facilities. Very close to Southern Cross train & coach station. Also close to a Cole’s and Woolies supermarket and a food hall with a good variety of hot meals.

VietnamOur booking was a family room and not include breakfast. There were 2 twin beds and 1 single bed. The room was quite clean and warm. The hotel location is execellent, near to Southern Cross Station. That's really easy to take Airport Skybus or take a tram to go to anywhere in the city. During my stay, the hotel entrance have been under maintenance so that it's a bit inconvenience for moving luggages but the staff were so kind and support.

AustraliaSet of stairs at front from street, but it is 3 stars.
The bed & pillows were comfortable. Sheets crisp & clean. Room small but perfect for 1 night. Bathroom toilet/shower/bath/vanity basin lovely new & clean. Water warm after about 10-20 seconds (on 6th level). Window can crank open for fresh air (which is important to me). Great location for Southern Cross Train Station & Airport Sky Bus.

AustraliaUnder going renovation upgrade. A part of progress. Stairs at entrance, but you can ring the doorbell, and staff will attend and assist
The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was great close to southern cross and sky bus to Tullamarine. Cafes, restaurants and shopping mall, and strip shopping very handy. Recommend for the budget conscious traveller or a clean bed after a show or sporting event.

MalaysiaThe breakfast can be improved for more variety.
I like the spotlight in the toilet because I felt warm standing underneath it after shower during the winter time. The bed is comfortable. Queen size bed for single room. I like the plug points are above the table. Very convenient for me to use my laptop that time, easy for charging devices. Very near to the places I visited like Chinatown and other shops by walking. I still book this hotel again the next time I visit Melbourne.

New ZealandI was place next to the street which wasn't the quiet but it wasn't so bad you can't sleep. The hotel being under renovations at the time of checkin made unclear if I was at the correct place but this was only minor
The single room was small but clean which was the most important, it had all the basic things you need to sleep while you spend your time out and about. Location was excellent being only a short walk to southern cross station and easy access to many food places and trams.
