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.).

AustraliaThe hotel does not have parking.... If someone is driving from another state, like us, it will be necessary to find parking. No breakfast in the hotel. No room service. The breakfast takes place at a restaurant next building. I did not expect to walk to another building to have breakfast. I was sure that the hotel has a restaurant where people can have meals, including breakfast. I would go there for dinner too. Also, the breakfast was not 100% cooked in the Australian way. For example, the bread was fried instead of toasted. When I asked a supervisor (or manager) why the bread was fried and not toasted, he told me that they put butter on the bread, that's why it looks like fried... I am sorry but why spread butter on bread without asking customers?! The customers have to choose how to eat the bread with butter or not... I asked to bring coffee together with the food, but it was still served before with the words, "food is coming very soon"... I am 100% sure that the bread was fried. Some more strange things too. But overall, the breakfast was edible. It would be good to have biscuits in the room (as complimentary, as in many many hotels in Australia). There were only tea, coffee, sugar, and milk in the room. And mini-bar for additional payment.
The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly. The location is very good one.

AustraliaThe smoke detectors and the bathroom exhaust fan have weird green lights. The irregular blinking of one right near the bed makes getting to sleep difficult.
The Sebel is located in a convenient position is civic within walking distance to Canberra Centre, all the cafes and bars in Braddon and the lake. The kitchenette is handy.

AustraliaThe TV in the gym was a bit hard to operate and the pillows were too soft in the room. But that is not the worst thing in the world, and definitely did not ruin my experience here. I might just bring my own pillow next year.
The location was perfect for me to get to the Canberra Times Marathon start line. I love that there was a 24 hour gym. I always stay at the Sebel Civic when I attend the running event in April and it never disappoints. Easy to check in, easy to get around. Thank you
