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.).

United KingdomProvision of towels , if you have two people booked in s room all the necessary essential should be provided at all times with no need for request. We have to remind staff to provide towels for two people per each room. This was soon corrected . The noise from the bars next door could be a little too much, thus was especially noted on first day of arrival ( Friday night).
Great customer service and very helpful staff

South AfricaNothing really. Wasn't happy with the way one of the restaurant staff acted. She shouldn't be working directly with guests as she was very rude unlike everyone else.
Location - strategically located in the old part of the city closer to African markets, supermarkets and lots of activities. Staff - very friendly and helpful staff Food - the chef knows how to cook good food If you want to immerse with locals, it is much easier to do it here than other hotels in the CBD area.

South AfricaNoisy air conditioners and the key card for the door was several times faulty.
Friendly accommodating staff. It was easy to arrange for a free late check out. I have visited the President Hotel several times over the last few years. two years ago the menu and food was excellent, last year below standard but this time the menu and quality was almost back to what it was formerly. Rooms are spacious with a large writing desk. Compared to similar hotels in the centre of Gaborone good value for money.

South AfricaThe hotel is right in the city centre so that means a hive of activity very early in the morning. I would recommend the hotel for people who go to Gabs for business rather than leisure just for this aspect.
The staff is the hotel's greatest asset! They were helpful in every way imaginable. The rooms are bigger than standard hotel rooms and the facilities available are all very good.
