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 best value for money. I loved the rooms, Uncle Peter was friendly and the location of the hotel is close to the City which was a positive for me because I didn’t have a car but was able to experience the city without worrying too much about the Uber prices.

GermanyThe Altona Lodge is situated in a nice & quiet neighbourhood. There´s usually a few parking spots right on the street as well (public ones). As far as south africa goes, it´s probably as safe as it´s ever going to get. 30 minutes walk to waterfront or 20 to the city center. Hosts were super friendly and helpful.

The staff was absolutely fantastic. They were helpful, kind and accommodating. I booked a room for a friend coming in from another county. He isn't fortunate enough to own a phone. Catherine and Michael relayed to us that he arrived and even set up a phone call for us. They went above and beyond! The room and the location were great as well.

KenyaThe location is amazing, Green Point close to most attractions. I enjoyed walking and it made for a better experience. Michael was amazing with recommendations of things to do and when to do them. If you catch him on a good day there might be an art class in the courtyard. Amazing breakfast selection, it felt very homely. Moffat was at hand as well and took extra care of me when I fell sick. I look forward to coming back for a longer stay.

We arrived earlier than check in just to drop off our bags, only to be advised to check in and wait for less than 7 minutes for our room to get ready, which was amazing!! Michael, the host was so friendly and welcoming and gave us tips on how to navigate the area. Moffat was very helpful, hands on and friendly,he was like a brother to me and really made me feel home. My Daughter got herself a very cute Cat to cuddle with. Located in a very quite and safe area, just a walking distance to the park, stadium,restaurants, waterfront and city sightseeing bus stop. Freshly breakfast was served daily, no loadshading and very good Wifi connection. Place very very clean inside out with tea/coffe facility available for the whole day, rooms very spacious with comfortable beds.

This was my 7th stay at Altona, I would not consider staying anywhere else while in Cape Town. Catherine and her wonderful team take care of everything to perfection. The house is beautiful, the location is ideal within easy walking distance through the beautiful Greenpoint park and turning right along the promenade to the Waterfront or by turning left along the promenade to Seapoint, the views are truly stunning.
