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.).

South AfricaBreakfast was included in the room price and was good and consistent each morning. Rooms were clean and we stayed in a room that had been recently upgraded. Room included a built-in sitting area that is small to work at.

United KingdomThe only negative thing was that the shower did not have a lot of water coming out of the head, my colleague described it as just a few strands of water cascading down which made showering properly a bit hard.
I have spoken with my colleagues and they said the breakfast was excellent and the rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They loved the parrot too and looked forward to seeing him every day. Would defiantly stay there again if they have to come back up there for work.

United KingdomThe only ‘down’ about our stay was our breakfast which we went down for about 9am. The dining area is pleasant and we automatically headed towards a window seat to enjoy the view. The person serving ‘instructed’ us to sit nearer the serving area which was when we then noticed the tables had been set. Although the venue restaurant wasn’t busy it was set up so that diners were close to the kitchen and prep area. The server asked us for our room numbers (plural) and we gave our single room number to which she replied, ‘So you’re in the same room?’ This seemed to surprise her and the tone was questioning. We affirmed that was the case - we are a same sex couple in our 50s. It just seemed an odd reply and tone. Aside from that, the server was efficient. We wondered if she was having ‘a bad day’.
Cosy, excellent location. Friendly, welcoming staff who were happy to engage in casual but genuine chit chat. Wifi was very good, parking great. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room etc were superb. Same with the gym. We were able to check in early - even though we arrived early and without notice. Also able to use the facilities after check out at 11am which was a great bonus meaning we could use the hotel as a base on our check out day which meant we spent more time (and money) in the local area.
