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 KingdomIdeal setting to explore the hills. The executive suite was gorgeous and had a phenomenal view. Although the interior of the hotel itself is dated, it is more than made up for by the friendly staff. The food is varied and caters for all. We had a private guided hike with Sakhile up Cathedral Peak, he was a fantastic guide and it was a very memorable hike.

United KingdomThe hotel is comfortable and has a relaxed and friendly feel to it. The team is excellent, attentive and accommodate any request. Guided walks were fantastic and so was the horse riding. I didn't travel with kids but kids club looked great and was always attended with staff members. Spa treatments were also excellent. Food choice was incredible and the team made a special effort to accommodate my healthy eating requests, which I really appreciated.

AustraliaThe steam room was a little daggy and unwelcoming, so we decided not to use it. The pool table in Harry’s bar was broken. Then some very minor issues: the hot and cold were switched around on the taps. The hairdryer was a bit small and underpowered.
Stunning location right in the mountains. The private honeymoon suite was outstanding. It was a separate, spacious bungalow furnished in a luxurious African style with sliding doors leading onto a private patio that faced the mountains. We could lie outside on loungers or lie in bed and look onto the uninterrupted view of the mountains. The room had a private bathroom with bath and shower, a dressing room, desk, lounge area, fridge and coffee/tea facilities. All were spotlessly clean and of a very high standard. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming and the food! The food was so delicious. There wasn’t a single meal I didn’t like, and they made all our favourite desserts! We had a lovely Swedish massage at the Wellness Centre which left us feeling very relaxed.

South AfricaThe slippery steps on the swimming pool. Just get some nylon rope and twist it around the steps to make them safer, or use waterproof silicone and put cut up rubber car mats on the steps. I had an accident on the steps and injured both legs - not the fault of the hotel but the steps are a hazard, especially for the elderly.
We enjoyed the buffet which was better than usual such serving style. The dining room is a little institutional but comfortable at the same time. Beautiful scenery beyond imagination and great attitudes of staff.

DenmarkOnly the lack of vegan protein options. I'd asked months ahead for the hotel to please provide beans, tofu, chickpeas, lentils. Every morning there was baked beans and just a small 3-bean salad for lunch. Since the hotel is about 1 hour from anywhere, it's not easy to go get supplementary supplies. So vegans, bring protein bars, nuts, protein powders waaay before getting to the hotel as there aren't any shops around.
The location is spectacular. Nestled at about 1500m above sea level, the air is clean, fresh and crisp. The rooms were very comfy and cosy. Loved the vibe: everyday there is tea time at 11 am and 3 pm. So we'd hike / do activities all morning and then enjoy a coffee in one of the lounge areas at 3 pm with the other guests: people playing boardgames, reading, doing puzzles. All of us just watching the dramatic clouds come in for the evening storms. Just magical. Loved the daily plan for all the activities. The hikes are so accessible from the hotel. For chilly rainy days, there are loads of indoor games to play. Food was delicious for us as we eat alot of salad and fresh food but nearly no vegan protein sadly.
