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 KingdomHad to sleep with earplugs. As soon as we arrived we were told “no one likes this room you’ve got but it’s very pretty” - we found out soon enough why this is the case. It’s directly opposite the kitchen, meaning until late at night you have restaurant noise and music and at about 05:00am the kitchen staff arrive and it’s nothing but banging pans and loud talking/laughing/cooking. Honestly there shouldn’t be a room in this location on the property. They should turn it into a reading nook or invest in some heavy sound proofing, because you cant sleep peacefully in it (and I’m a good sleeper). However, I love the hotel and what it means to Cape Town so I just said nothing and used earplugs but I would 1000% make sure to never book that specific room again. I would come back but call ahead to make sure my room is far away from any communal/staff areas
everyone loves Dorp and now I know why! Real South African charm. So many authentic touches that are nostalgic and yet elevated at the same time

United KingdomNoisy in the mornings with staff setting up for breakfast and then guests outside our room - this woke us up at early everyday. Not a private bathroom as the window looks straight out onto the courtyard seating area. The ceiling fan was very noisy when on full speed. The safe failed and could only be unlocked by a key.
Beautiful building and great location. Staff very friendly and good food and drink.

GermanyNot all rooms have a shower. Check this if you don’t like to shower inside the bathtub. The sinks have 2 taps, one for hot and be for cold. So might be problem in winter since I don’t like to fill up the sink to wash my face. Location is a bit off and up a very very steep road.
Beautiful property with big rooms. The staff are excellent and that is the main reason to stay here. Everyone is very helpful. Special thanks goes to Lucy, Ryan and Mandy.
