How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room was huge, warm and comfortable. Excellent shower! The location was pretty good for what I needed and had a great view of Hagley Park. Car parking was easy which is always welcome.
Communicating with the staff was next to impossible as the reception desk was often not occupied, and when it was English was not their first language, so trying to ask anything, make requests, etc. was extremely difficult. Trying to pay the bill was also a challenge with no one at reception and no one would answer the phone for several hours. Eventually found out they had just charged my card anyway, which was not what the booking stated, so that was frustrating.

Verified reviewThe hotel was conveniently located close to Hagley Park and the Botanical Gardens. For me, it was one of the best spots for a stay—peaceful and not too crowded, yet still close to the main street. There were also restaurants on the ground floor and convenient stores nearby.
The pillowcase had a red mark on it, resembling blood or a stain, which made it seem like it hadn’t been changed. The towels were not replaced, and the bed was not made either when we went out.

We didn't have any hand soap in the dispenser and the coffee mugs were no bigger than a small teacup. We asked for larger cups.

Verified reviewLocation across from Hagley park is good!
Beds are not comfortable, I stayed 6months ago and the stay was good, however this stay I stayed over 2 bookings, first room was awful, aircon as loud as a jet engine! Room 211, shower broken, didn’t make up the room or refresh the room. Noisy as it was on main rd. Room was filthy, I don’t recall it being so bad 6months ago. Then I moved under this booking, as I decided to stay the weekend (booked weeks earlier and was out of my cancellation period, otherwise I would have taken it) Room 213, much better aircon, not as noisy, bed a little better, but still hard and warped. Bathroom filthy, black stains on shower floor, shower head broken! I definitely won’t stay here again so run down, not sure if management changes have occurred, but definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Tried to email and prepay for business prior, no replies from multiple calls and emails, finally sorted in day if arrival. I think the hotel needs to conduct a massive deep clean, and update of beds and window furnishings to stop the broken curtains letting so much light through. Thanks 😁

Verified reviewLocation was great, staff were helpful, room was spacious and cozy.
There was an issue with the credit card machine. All my cards worked before and after paying for our stay. We tried 3 cards and all methods, and the machine still wouldnt work. We ended up doing a bank transfer. Other than that, the wifi was kind of weird. Any time I connected to wifi, other people were able to control functions on my phone.
