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 AfricaThe restaurant on the 3rd floor didn't serve us breakfast on time.I think they were short staffed, but that made us run a bit late on our plans for the day. I also noticed that the staff were only serving the white people and us, as the only black people we were left unattended,so with that, we ended up leaving to eat breakfast at a nearby mall.
We enjoyed it. The facility is clean and comfortable, and it is good value for money. The place is absolutely amazing. Don't get me started on the beach view, like, omg The place is so amazing at night

South AfricaStains on the couch. There was a very strong smell of gas by the entrance door and bathroom. It was so bad it gave us a headache. I reported it to reception. It seemed to get better. I would have liked more of a view of the sea. Our room didn't have much of a view, the photos were rather deceptive.
The room had a very big patio and was very cosy. Even though we went out for meals, the kitchenette seemed very well kitted out. The rooms were comfortable and clean

South AfricaIt was very difficult to contact the reception, especially in the mornings. The phone in the room did not work and even tried many times calling with my cellphone. Takes a while before answered. The little shop could stock more essentials and was not manned all the time.
Cleaning staff and porters were very helpful.

South Africa1) The property needs a lot of maintenance, paint is peeling & the flooring does not look clean even after a good scrub. 2) AC was not working. This was a nightmare because it was extremely humid & the reception did not have the courtesy to inform us of this. We had to request a fan on the 2nd day because we could not cope 3) The toilet vent was sucking out the air from the room next door. Unfortunately, they had chain smokers staying there 😕 4) An unknown person was sending me whatsapp messages selling timeshare products, and I DID NOT CONSENT to my number being shared. While u resting by the pool, agents are trying to sell u these products as well. I found that very irritating.
THE BEACH AT YOUR DOORSTEP, the bed was super comfortable, breakfast was fresh and tasted so good, and the staff was super helpful & sweet.

United KingdomOur room was not in the area we wanted to be and we could not be moved due to renovations. A smelly bin was left outside our door and the generator disturbed us coming on and off. There was noise in the corridor. There was a chunk out of the wall and the formica worktops were stained.
The lovely sea view and excellent food.

South AfricaThe condition of the furniture in the room was not up to scratch. The headboard was in bad condition and needs urgent attention. The bathroom needs attention whereby accessories such as handle on over the bath shower. Parts missing. The ceiling in the bathroom was partially handing open over the bath/shower area. I have to say that all this was reported at reception when leaving.
We had a fantastic view as usual. Service was excellent. Staff are wonderful. Cannot fault these criteria.

South AfricaWhen checking in they only tell you where your room is, no porters to assist, we had to call and ask for the wifi password. No one explained how the breakfast work. Kettle in the room wasn’t working. Waiters ignores you at the pool area once the crowd is bigger and tends to day visitors first.
Location is amazing, enjoyed sitting by the pool area.
