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 AfricaBecause of the industrial theme, there is a lot of echo from noises in the hallway. When someone closes their apartment door it sounds like it slams close. You are awaken by the sound, and if you are traveling for work is affects your sleep. The TV is well positioned. You cannot watch TV from the bed as a third of the TV is blocked by the closet. Strange, you have to sit on the edge of the bed to be able to watch TV. Also annoying is that the shower hits you against the nose. Not everyone is 1,6m. I am 1,92m and couldn't get under the shower.
Very clean and everything you need. Good location.

United StatesI feel the common spaces are nice however the apt decor is a bit too basic & bland/plain. It feels very dorm room-ish. Its also missing little things like a hook in the bathroom for a towel/robe, a cutting knife, dish detergent & rag/sponge (although housekeeping will wash you dishes) so you have nothing to wipe the counter off with if you try & cook, you have to request pot pans iron etc. Small touches that make a big difference. The wifi is not secure'd with a password to get on.
Staff is excellent. Restaurant food good! Common areas are nice. Daily events going on.

United StatesI got a little annoyed with my room location. I was right above the restaurant. I felt like I didnt have privacy being the restaurant staff is standing right there. I understand they want to say hello but if i step out on my patio in the morning, I dont want to be bothered. Also , the music was loud and disruptive at times. The housekeeping became a tad bothersome. They would not let me rest. I didnt need service every day and I told them that but they persisted. They even came in and woke me up at times. A few small things came up missing too. Lastly, every time i came into contact with Vuyani, the security guard, there was always a problem as if he was King and you had to appease him. Just keep the place secure and let me be!!
Great location, no load shedding!!

ZambiaThe hotel layout can be annoying. Being given one key card was also annoying as you need to open the doors rhat lead to the elevators, so when my friend had to leave id stay without light in the room. They need to give more than one key car when they have more than onw guest in a room. Staff were not very friendly or helpful. I felt safe at this and the location is great but I wouldn't stay here again.
The location is great, no noise, the breakfast was amazing and the lady who served me was super nice.

South AfricaThere are no pots (even though there is a stove/kitchen), cloths or dishwashing liquid so we couldn’t really clean up after ourselves which was not ideal. The sofa in the TV room is also not the greatest choice, but would definitely return.
Very cute space. The apartment was clean with a super comfortable bed. Easy check-in process and friendly staff. WiFi works well, Netflix and other streaming sites available on the TV.

United StatesRoom could be improved with small additions - a towel rail in the bathroom, a stool or rack to put a suitcase on, some basic utensils to use in the kitchen, a door stop for the balcony door, etc. Should make it clear that to use the TV you need to use you own accounts for Netflix, etc.

South AfricaThe room itself was spacious but there were some areas that felt cramped. The bathroom as a whole was tiny, it was a struggle to move around in the bathroom. The walls are also very thin so you can hear everything happening in the corridor, not very pleasant.
I loved that they had a smart TV and the bed was nice and big and very comfortable. The free toiletries provided smelt divine and the shower was fabulous.
