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 KingdomThe room was somewhat overpriced but it commands a premium because of location
The location on the beach is superb. Staff were accommodating and friendly but sometimes forget to follow through with my request and needed reminding. All in all a good hotel with their own menu priced competitively. The Arabiata sauce (with pasta) was delicious

South AfricaThe main menu could have more variety The deck pool could have marginal solar heating especially for winter Blankets for dinner for the lovely evenings There is not much else I feel that needs improvement in the short term
The location was stunning and the views are exceptional The breakfast was wholesome and staff are extremely friendly , competent and efficient. The main ala carte menu could use more sea food as it is a coastal venue

South AfricaCanelands has opened the dining and deck area to day visitors, which absorbs all the staff effort and attention. When we arrived, I parked near the main door to offload our bags as parking is outside the gate. While I went to park, my wife who happens to walk with a stick, tried to carry some bags inside. No-one even looked in her direction, only waking up when we had carted all the luggage to the desk! It was much better after sunset once the crowd had left, we could enjoy the pool and deck once again! The facilities are a little tired, in need of a revamp to bring it in line with what we paid!
The location is perfect! The pool and views are the best! The room was very comfortable and our private upstairs deck was breathtaking. We decided to have dinner at Canelands near the pool, and it was a great experience.

South AfricaBreakfast could do with a wider selection of fresh fruit, cheeses and pastries. The preparation of the Tuscan and the Mushrooms on toast with Parmesan was disappointing.
The location is excellent for a relaxing beach vacation. The venue is also close to some good restaurants and shopping. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
