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.).

The staff is friendly, welcoming& so understanding.The services aids,the 2ladies at reception, they are exceptional 👏.My first day, knocked off @07:00am from night duty n I was extremely exhausted,the lady at reception was so understanding &tried to assist me with all the challenges I had,my payment transfer was challenging but she was so accommodating & offered suggestions,I was really impressed 👏 had a little bit of an accident on a heavy raining day and a guy named (Breeze) did nt mind being in the rain n I was inside the car, helping me out,I felt so bad n he was so understanding n assuring 🙏🏻may God bless him🙏🏻 I give thumbs up for the 2 mature ladies,I think 1 is for cleaning& the other one is for kitchen n laudry, even if the place looks old, they keep it spotless👏n they so welcoming 😊 Although the place appeared to b busy from Friday but I manage to rest from my night shifts🙏

South AfricaI extended my stay during the night (online), the next morning I went to the reception to pay the additional booking and to ask if I could change my room as I selected a different room with online booking. I was told that I had to wait for the next shift to settle my account and i was refused my request to move. I returned to the reception at 8am, but could not pay due to faulty card machine. I told the receptionist that I will only be able to go to an atm once it stopped raining - this is the point where the staff member started telling me that I HAVE to call a cab and get to the atm. I was gob smacked! The employee walked away. The next minute the staff member was back followed by private security guard! I was told that the guard was there to remove me from the property. I have never been so angry! I explained the days events to the security whom agreed with me that the staff was being unreasonable and wasted their time. And all of this could have been prevented if only I was allowed to make the payment at 6am that morning. I will NEVER refer any traveler to stay at Acoustix

South AfricaRude staff. While asking questions or wanting to pay 1 particular staff member is always on her cel phone and doesn't even look at you when replying at reception, also she doesn't wear a mask or sanitize properly. This 1 particular staff member likes to shout and fight with paying clients. She is unpleasant and unprofessional and has no work ethic. When sitting at reception and receiving guests you cannot be rude and look at the phone while paying customers want to make payment. She is lazy and doesn't do her job properly.
The place is kept clean.

South AfricaThe rudeness and unprofessional behavior of some of the staff, especially the younger staff who show no respect for personal space and shout if they feel the rules are not been adhered too. The staff come across as aggressive and seem to want to fight with paying customers. Some of the staff also don't wear masks or sanitize like they are supposed too. Some staff don't make sure that other customers sanitize and no temperatures are being taken either, not following covid rules properly for a public establishment. Some staff show lack of proper work ethics.
The premises is kept clean.
