Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

AustraliaLighting in the bathroom could be improved. Room colour decor was not to my liking - black which made the room quite dark but it would not stop me from staying there again. A nice touch - it was our wedding anniversary and there was a lovely card amd bottle of wine left for us from the staff.
Hotel is in a good location, staff were helpful and informative, apartment was clean and spacious. Parking overnight $35. At this time of year, it was very chilly sitting outside having breakfast as it was an outdoor cafe. Cafe was not situated within the hotel, but situated next to the hotel. Menu was good though as was the coffee and tea.

AustraliaThe shower had a piece missing for a shelf. Not being able to have fresh milk for making a coffee. The complimentary biscuits where not enough for all the people staying. Didn't get to walk to the beach because of rain, but we drive to the look out areas. :-)
Yes I liked the location & the breakfast. Staff lovely.

AustraliaOn site parking run by a third party and costs an extra day rate but for travelers without a vehicle it’s a no brainer as it’s close to all amenities
We booked 291 on King due to its proximity to NEX Event Centre - directly across the street so couldn’t have possibly been any closer - but the hotel itself exceeded our expectations! It is fairly new so you would expect clean, fresh decor however the rooms were very well appointed. Stylish modern features, spacious room with well equipped kitchenette, super comfy bed and pillows, good sized TV, quality bathroom with quality bathroom products, big windows to take in the view and although that was mostly buildings it was still a great outlook. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. There’s a coffee shop on ground floor serving really good coffee which helped with our early morning starts, and the hotel is also within short walking distance to supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Didn’t get the use the gym but it looks well equipped. Only down side was that although there is undercover parking on site, it’s run by a third party with a fairly costly day rate. Overall it was a great stay and we’re hoping the annual event we attended is held at NEX again so we get to experience 291 on King for our next Newcastle visit.

AustraliaBeds are always a personal preference, but we did find the beds particularly soft. A sliding door into the bathroom also doesn't provide much privacy when you're sharing a room!
291 on King is a welcoming hotel with additional common areas on each floor. The staff were very friendly and even phoned in advance to check on some details of our stay. It's a good central location and the room size was very generous.
