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.).

ZambiaThe new wing was still under construction and somehow not a good sign for guests as it may pause risks. The restaurant could do with an upgrade.
The rooms were very spacious and clean with all facilities working perfectly. The location is also good as it is very close to the shops and a good eating place. Staff was very polite.

ItalyThe internet was not always strong - however I wonder how much of this is under the control of the hotel as my experience with some places in Malawi is that coverage is not always consistent.
A well situated hotel with excellent accommodation and conference facilities. The staff were professional and very accommodating in meeting personal and group (professional team) needs. The rooms in the newer block where I stayed were spacious, clean and well fitted out. There is a lovely view from the conference/event room out over the hills, and a nice terrace area - it's a great location for training or a conference with larger numbers. Conference facilities (projectors, microphones etc) were provided and staff were always on hand to help. Catering - both for the event and in the restaurant were very good - with a good range on the menu- including vegetarian and vegan options.

GermanyThey need to change their wifi settings, it is an unsecure connection for work laptops, you cant log in with corporate laptop. Big downside if you travel for business. Big tv but only 3 channels, no BBC, no CNN, no Al Jazeera. Property would need a bit of TLC on the outside. Please add a mosquito net. Indicate on the website that the hotel does not supply alcohol. The rooms were very nice but no light bulbs on the bedside lamps and no light bulb on the table to work. Breakfast was rather poor.
Rooms were very spacious and clean and nice. Good bed, spacious bathroom. General very nice room. Dinner was very good.

United KingdomAirport transfer was confirmed via Booking.com. Hotel did not arrange it and staff could not care less. Even after showing them the confirmation email, they stated that it did not matter because it was not in their system. Highly unhelpful and unprofessional in their attitude. Had to pay $80 in airport taxis when a hotel with a shuttle had been booked !
