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.).

GermanyThere's nothing I can think of. Altona Lodge exceeds my expectations in every way
The lodge is a great place to relax. It's not located at a busy or noisy street. It offers enough spaces for people to sit together outside the rooms. Everywhere in the lodge is so clean and nicely decorated, thus exuding a comfy atmosphere. They offer you water, tea and coffee 24/7 in the dining room. You can also use some utensils if you wish to bring your own food. They offer a nice breakfast like breads, jams, boiled eggs, muffins and a variety of fruits. The room is cleaned every day, making the stay at the Lodge even more comfortable. It also offers a safe in the room (they really think everything that a traveler needs). More than that, the staff were all so friendly. They'll be happy to give you tips for what to see and visit in Cape Town. One more thing, Michael told me that the Lodge had recently invested in a solar panel. This means, you don't have to worry about the power cuts aka loadshedding, which is really great! I can recommend Altona Lodge and would be coming back there if I visit Cape Town again.

South AfricaThe only parking available is in the street, but we always had a place to park even though we arrived very late at night and our vehicle was always safe.
They catered specifically for our needs as a family with small children and provided drinks and breakfast suited to our needs. They also accommodated the fact that we had a conference until late in the evening and provided coffee, tea and hot chocolate facilities for when we returned. The room was very clean, the breakfast was amazing, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the lodge has a warm, happy atmosphere. Definitely value for money.

South Africa6 nights were not enough
Day one I felt welcomed, day two I was home 🏡 . Staff? There were no staff members only family cos they are all family there are no bosses or workers. Breakfast was excellent 👌. As I said I was home I even had an option of cooking 🍳. Even the 😺 is welcoming 🤗 . It was joy staying with everyone even other guests from other countries were fantastic and tried communication in other ways since some didn't speak English. Thanks Altona family for welcoming me and babies with open arms. Don't miss us long we are coming back soon. Love Sindisiwe, Nkosimphile and Nkanyiso 😘
