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 AfricaThings that need attention are e.g. Bathroom - shower/flooe mats (to prevent slip and fall), bathroom she bins (for ladies sanitary towels), bedside tables. Parking facilities are available however, parking arrangements need to coordinated properly among clients.
The place has a potential to grow and its generally of acceptable standard. The service was also good.

South AfricaIt's the 2nd time this place has done such to me. First time when I got there I found out they were full, yet they accepted my booking and it didn't bother them at all, it was fun to tell me "you can cancel your booking on the app". Just this Saturday, again, this time around I found no receptionist just a drunk and very disrespectful security guard that couldn't help me, couldn't operate the computer to confirm my booking, and was proud about it, disrespectful. If you know what's good for you, I don't recommend that place at all, disappointed in every way🚮

South AfricaTheir Wifi connection is poor. I struggled with doing my work and joining meetings online. This can be improved tho, or maybe they can change the positioning of their router because the connection is weaker as you move from the gate to backyard. Another problem is the issue of the gate, for safety reasons and stuff it makes sense for the gate to be locked however if you will lock the gate guests should also have a spare key to use so that they can move in and out with ease. Having to ask for a gate to be unlocked now and then is really tiring honestly.
Well because I wasn’t looking for luxury rather convenience, this place is near the UKZN golf road campus of which that is where I had the appointment at, however it is away from the town, I had to order in. I would recommend it for people who are visiting PMB for business, it is quiet, chilled and affordable.

South AfricaThe place is not as advertised. Rooms very small and doors not properly closing. Breakfast not served as advertised. Only told in the morning that is not included to what I have paid for. Staff not friendly too. Everything was just so bad. I even asked for the manager to come and witness. There was 1 teaspoon with two cups 1 sachets of coffee with a lot of sachets of sugar.
WiFi was the only thing I liked about the place.
