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.).

United KingdomSome of the staff weren’t good. For example, on one morning at breakfast, I ordered fruit salad, one poached egg with one sausage and toast. I got no fruit salad salad, TWO poached eggs, NO SAUSAGE, but BACON and one slice of toast. However, I need to stress that some staff were good.
We love the location, and the decor of the establishment is beautiful.

CanadaThe restaurant was alright- great coffee though! The pool was smaller than it looks, more like a lap pool.
The staff and spa were amazing! Everything was designed with comfort and relaxation in mind with an incredible beach view from our room and walking distance to a swim/surf beach with a lifeguard and fantastic tide pools.

South AfricaOn arrival, I didn’t have hangers in my room so I had to request these. My lights were dim and one bedside lamp wasn’t working; I reported this twice but it was never fixed so I had to rely on minimal lighting which was a bit uncomfortable. The WiFi was also blotchy - I resorted to using my own for streaming. Generally, room service was slow. It took, on average, about an hour to receive my order on day 2, my breakfast order was completely wrong so I had to rush through breakfast to make sure I wasn’t late for my spa treatment. The restaurant no longer has oxtail or lamb curry (apparently it’s seasonal?) which was rather disappointing because I loved the lamb curry last time. I had to settle for the butter chicken curry, which was not enjoyable at all. The chicken was overcooked, the dish lacked salt and it was a little too tangy.
The views are honestly exceptional, the staff is so friendly and accommodating that you feel like you’re right at home. Special mention to Njabulo, Thobani and Sthembile for such top tier service. Impatho yabo leaves nothing to be desired!
