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.).

HungaryThe location of the accommodation is extremely good, Dunkley Square also provides entertainment in the evening, while the city center is a few minutes' walk away (during the day). The atmosphere of the rooms is great, the view of the Table Mountain from the rooms with a balcony is fantastic (not all rooms face the mountain, and they don't have a balcony either, but they are larger and have a refrigerator). The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the kindness and helpfulness of the staff is extraordinary. We'll be back!

United StatesSome nights were really hot. There is no A/C. I think in general it's not needed, but would have been nice on one or two occasions. -There was a fan, which helped.
Hotel has lots of character, it's in a neighborhood that feels local, not touristy. I loved my balcony. The breakfast was great and the staff was always happy to answer questions and provide guidance. I would definitely come back.

AustraliaWhilst lovely, there are a few things that guests should be aware of. The hotel has no air conditioning in the rooms, and the bathroom also floods very easily as there is no floor drainage. Whilst not an issue of the accommodation itself as it unfortunately occurs everywhere in South Africa, the hotel also suffers from regular load shedding which affects your ability to use power at specific times on certain days. Whilst the accommodation does have 24/7 security and the entrance doors are locked at night (guests will receive a key), be aware that the lodge is located in a high-crime area of the city.
The accommodation is styled in a lovely African way, very affordable and usually includes a yummy breakfast. The staff are a delight and the overall setting is very cosy. If you are fortunate enough to get a Table Mountain-facing room, you will have a stunning view! Alternatively, the rooms on the other side of the building have no notable view yet cost the same.

They even remembered to our drink choices :) There is a parking lot in front of the hotel, where ot was totally safe to park our rented bar. Everything is pretty close and there is a bar in the opposite side of the park.

NetherlandsWhen you have other guests staying in the room next to yours, the walls might become rather audible. I didn't have an issue with it, but it's nice to know.
I love the personal. From the first miniute, I felt safe and welcomed - It was truly a good place to work and move around the city - The Lodge is very well located close to Long and Kloof Street and all amenities near by. With Roxy's Late Night and Maria's Greek you have two very dope restaurants across the street. The room itself was cozy and is perfect for single travelers and couples. It will get cleaned everyday by staff and on top of that - you can enjoy homemade breakfast with all your wishes. WIFI is quite strong and allows you to work easily remote!
