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.).

NigeriaWhen I entered initially on the corridor it had this strange smell, but when I got into my room it was okay, I am not sure If like the black wall concept tho, They didn't have a telephone system, WhatsApp was the means of communication which I found strange although it worked well. I did experience a scenario which I like to think it is a security bridge, I travelled with my extra door security. I requested for an iron via the whatsapp channel which they provided after 20 mins I heard my security alarm on my door go off, this is my personal security, which means someone tried to gain entrance to my room, this was around 9 am or 9.30am in the morning. It was too early for the house keepers to resume their duties. No one knocked, when I went to the door to see who it was I met three guys, the one who gave me an iron and two had like a face mask on( Like the Covid type we use to wear) I asked them what they were looking for as I was already scared, he said he wanted to get the iron and I was like three people came to get an iron? what happen to knocking, using the whatsapp channel, TBH I was legit scared cus I was naked and had my stuff everywhere, I rushed down to complain and the staff on duty I think was taking side with his colleagues, saying they knocked , that they were just two people and I asked to see the CCTV footage he said it was only the building manager that had access to that, however no apologies no anything, I just felt unsafe after that incident till I left, I asked to speak to the manager and it was becoming a long thing and even when I messaged them on whatsapp they ignored my message, I was a but happy was leaving soon and just ensured my door was fortified with my extra security.
I loved the breakfast it was nice I won't lie, really enjoyed it, the facilities were okay and the place was clean, my room was overlooking a construction building so I wasn't really happy about that, but it had plants so I liked that as well. It had everything to make me feel at home and it was close to my office as well. it was also central and quite popular.Sheets were clean and towels too. The room was also big which was a plus

BotswanaJust minor malfunctions i guess, issues with the curtains closing and safety box. The staff was friendly enough to assist timeously. However kitchen utensils were severely limited. Helped that the plan was always to eat out due to short stay. I would also use a lighter paint in the hallway, makes it creepy.
Perfect location, loved that u could walk to the mall Great concept for a apartment style hotel

GermanyThere were only two big towels and one small towel for two people. From my experience there should be at least two more small towels to use for the face. When I asked them they told me that's what you normally get. There were little bugs in the fridge when I arrived. So it was either not thorougly cleaned or there is a problem with these little bugs. I guess it was the second, since I saw some more of them later on. The kitchen is poorly equipped. As far as I remember there was only a pan, no pots or whatsoever. Only one or two forks, nothing else. As they already provide a kitchen, they should have at least some basic equipment. Otherwise the kitchen is pretty much useless. There were no cushions for the chilling area on the roof top, so we couldn't use that.
The location is great, the room is amazing, the staff was very nice. I had a problem with my safe box and they helped me out immediately. Room service was very thorough. Nice roof top.

South Africa-A bit over-priced as the rooms are very basic and dark -House keeping response often takes way too long and this was the same case at BlackBrick 2 where I stayed previously -my room was situated on a side of the hotel, where there were lots of people loitering in the adjacent plot, and this was very concerning, and felt quite insecure for me
-Location and proximity to 2 malls in Sandton -Quiet and very ideal for working -Cleaned daily -Large room -Not affected by load-shedding -Very polite, professional staff -Pedestrian gate hard to open from the outside. A guard always had to help me
