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 reception, the porter, car park, the food and service was exceptional. The happy hour was exceptional and worth every moment It was my birthday on the 28th, I was overwhelmed by the room preparation, the balloons, the cake , the bubble my word, out of this world 🌎. The only sleep was the invoice when we checked out. We were billed wrongly, but the last quickly sorted it out. A must come back definitely. Thanks to the whole Team You made our stay memorable.

South AfricaThe DSTV bouquet and TV reception quality in the room was poor. Staff were very accommodating and arrange channel 214 for us to watch the tennis. Overall this feature needs to be dramatically improved.
Great location. Comfortable room. Excellent breakfast with attentive staff. Very comfortable lounge areas, newspapers etc. Beautiful sea views from property and direct access to beach. Heated outdoor swimming pool, spotless and the best pool staff.

Everything. From the warm welcome at the front desk, the tastefully decorated rooms, the sea view, the close proximity to Malls and the food at the restaurant. The little snacks in the room are so thoughtful. The phone is answered within a second if you need assistance.

We were kept waiting very long as were the tables around us waiting for service and the restaurant was not busy.. service was below poor to non existent. Only other problem was the Aircon leaked all over the floor and it was covered in water..

ZambiaThere was a group of people who came for drinks at the Hotel on the 10 February. They were making a lot of noise disturbing hotel guests but surprising the hotel did not do anything about it. The noise was very disturbing.
The Hotel is close to the beach and restaurants. The town is also beautiful
