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 Africa2 sets of music : one from beach club and one from Festival Would suggest beach club not play music whilst festival happening, or play music much softer. The beach club plays the music far too loud for residents who want to relax in their rooms. Shower when coming off the beach, would be great. This would alleviate sand in the pool.
Location near beach Clean pool Clean beach Helpful reception Friendly staff Parking Consideration for physically challenged persons. Maintenance and TV support team most helpful and pleasant. When matters were raised, the hotel addressed it immediately. Lifesavers on Diaz beach are exceptional.

South AfricaThe only thing we can say about the perfect stay, is that we did have a tap leak in our bathroom that we did report three times. It was unfortunately not attended to. It left us with a bathroom floor that was flooded every morning until housekeeping could come in to tidy up. We had to use their beautiful white towels to soak up the water a bit. But, we do understand that it is festive season and getting a plumber out is not that easy! Other than that we were treated so lovely and our request about the tap was take into consideration!
The staff were exceptional! The view and location was ideal. The room was stunning and SO clean! Housekeeping was excellent with fresh linen ever-day! We just loved our stay at Diaz so much!

United KingdomThere was a strange smell from the drains which was very off putting, it did require some touch ups here and there. The menus for the restaurants don't really facilitate for under 2s which put us off. The pool was nice but didn't realised it was shared with other hotel/clubs. There is a beach club/night venue down stairs in front of the hotel which we think was connected to the hotel, can be loud. Our travel cot wasn't in the room when we arrived which was a little frustrating.
The view was stunning and and the beds were super comfy, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony in an evening when little one was in bed. They identified schedules for loadshedding which was beneficial

South AfricaArrogant staff and at times very unprofessional, some don't wear socks with their suits ans others have noserings in the middle bone of nose and other sit on countertops and other flat out lie about rooms being ready and returning calls. Bathrooms are VERY small. Very bad sewage odour in corridors and bathrooms SO MUCH noise from music outside and bar in front of hotel Bar in the front of hotel spoils the view. Breakfast is severely limited for a 4 star Chef does not look professional in his attire
The view is really beautiful. Newly refurbished hotel.

IndiaSlow wifi makes work from home difficult. Breakfast not many options for vegetarian guests. What is available is also very bad in taste. Looks stale and unfresh and unappealing. We were only two adults but those with kids shouldn't live here as it is very noisy with unbearable loud music even for adults when some fests are held. Parking too can be an issue as there is very limited number of parking on first come first occupied and the others have to park in another side of the building on first floor.
The rooms are clean with modern amenities. The rooms are all sea facing with good seating arrangement in the balcony. The staff is helpful and hard working. They try their best to help.

South AfricaI wasn't happy that we had to walk all the way around to get to the beach so we could go for a walk because of the Matric rave. Also the gym was advertised as if it's part of your hotel and it's not. I wanted to stay an additional night but wanted a family room... But your staff at reservation wasn't willing to accommodate us in a family room. My kids were willing to sleep on bunk beds because it was just one night.
The breakfast was standard but I would have like to see a cheese board and Crackers, also mugs for coffee and not those small cups.

NetherlandsThe hotel was much bigger than we had anticipated. It isn't very personal, it's built more for mass tourism. The restuarant was also very average, both in terms of food and comfort (there was a cold draft blowing)/
