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 view was not what we expected when the booking stated 'ocean view'. Our room did have an ocean view however you could not see it from inside the room only from the balcony. The food menu was limited. If you are staying longer than 3 days, you will find yourself repeating meals. The water shortage was also an inconvenience; water was unavailable between the hours of 21:00 - 05:00.
The food was superb. It was fine dining. The food had great presentation and tasted lovely. The hotel decor and furniture look great as well as the art on the wall particularly in the dining area. The noise levels were low even though they had events; you could not tell that there were other guests.

South Africanoisy (banging doors, grass cutting on a Sunday morning), the staff did not alert us to the fact that there would be no water after 8pm due to municipal upgrades, we had to request bottles of water to flush the toilet at 10pm at night. the resturant could cater for vegetarians better.
staff were friendly, view was great, good location.

South AfricaFirstly, not having a generator that can deal with load shedding i.e. keep everything going and not just essentials. Could not work on my computer, watch TV or charge my phone. At the price we paid for this room, and considering that it is 2021, we would expect the hotel to have enough capacity to keep everything running during power outages. All the other places we have stayed at in the past several years, have been able to switch seamlessly from Escom to generator power and back again. This was exacerbated by the noise of the generator which felt like it was just outside the window. Secondly: The toilet seat that doesn’t fit properly and won’t stay up… difficult when a guy has to pee and must contort himself whilst eliminating to prevent premature closure … ;) Lastly - very limited choices of TV channels.
Beautiful location, friendly and efficient staff. Comfortable bed, great breakfast. Shower that works properly.

South AfricaI requested my room to be setup special due to anniversary however nothing was done to accomodate this. They don’t go the extra mile.
Entire property and rooms beautifully decorated. It was quiet and private. Even though there was a function downstairs the noise did not reach my room. It’s not on the beach but is quite central to both Durban & Umhlanga. The views from my balcony and our table at breakfast were stunning. Vegetarian(halal) breakfast omelette was delicious.
