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 AfricaThey need a air conditioner in the eating area
I loved the peace and quiet. You couldnt hear your neighbours and you can see the view of the ocean from the top floors. There is a salon on the ground floor which helps when you want to look good before you paint town red. When i checked in, i was met with a warm welcome and they showed me the my room . I love that

United KingdomThe room, while being spacious and clean and otherwise nice, felt like it was unfinished. Some basic amenities were missing, like the fridge, hairdryer, box of tissues, and a towel rack. The hotel did have slight renovations still being done, so I suspect this was the reason for that. The WiFi was also very slow. Breakfast also wasn't the best, and had very little variety to it. They did make amazing scrambled eggs though!
The staff were great, they let us use the space available at the hotel. Despite it being late many nights we were able to bring our guests over and make use of the empty spaces on the property. They were also very accommodating with our times, they allowed us to check in early and check out late.

South AfricaYoh! 1. Room was not properly cleaned. Trash from what I presume is previous guests was not taken out. Bin we was full.. 2. Floors weren't sparkly clean. Debris was visible and walking barefoot felt uncomfortable 3. No she- bin in the room or bathroom. 4. No extra toilet paper roll was provided. We found half a roll and once it was finished, there was no other option 5. The bathroom didn't have a toilet brush. The toilet seat wasn't properly fit and hence uncomfortable. The bath tub couldn't be utilised as it wasn't connected to the water reticulation system. All plumbing works seems to have not been complete in the room. 6. All issues with the room were raised and the manager on duty made it sound like it's a one person's fault and I think that is not fair. 7. Artificial grass on the balcony also seemed to not have been fixed completely or neatly. For R1990, this wasn't worth it
Perfect location. Close to the nearest restaurants and bars, beachfront etc.
