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 KingdomMore sun loungers near the pool area.
Location was great as its near to a brilliant restaurant called Lupa, cant recommend that restaurant enough, food is exceptional. The hotel breakfast was nice and the staff very welcoming. Little touches like slippers and amenities in the bathroom were very welcome. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again and recommend to others. We felt very safe staying there.

South AfricaNot that I didn't like it, but just to make a great place even better: perhaps offering firmer or softer pillows(just keep a few for those odd requests). A bit more staff, especially for the breakfast. It took way too long considering we were the only table.
The cleanliness & attention to detail in the rooms. It's got a homely, "taken care of" feel to it, which is lovely

South AfricaThe only thing they will need is a fast and reliable internet service, their own beauty spa, an electricity backup, as well as their own transportation for their visitors. Otherwise everything they have is the best.
Ekhaya is the best place to stay, especially if you are visiting Durban for leisure or group travel. I have traveled extensively. However, I have never been to the cleanest hotel ever. The staff were extremely friendly and highly professional. There has never been a day when I had to complain about anything. I loved the place, it is the best 👌.

South AfricaThere is nothing that I did not like. I do however think that the pricing is way more than a god hotel which does offer much more in terms of facilities and a variety regarding the breakfast menu if someone else would require. I personally choose a very simple breakfast and it works for me. I only stay here because of the location but this could change once construction on the N2 is complete. I would reconsider staying at a cheaper place with similar standards.
Breakfast was exactly as I requested it to be. I did not have to wait too long for my breakfast to be made. The breakfast area is also very neat and clean. The staff are super friendly and accommodating.
