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 AfricaReception was not friendly and they did not treat me like a guest or tell me rules until I needed assistance . I was simply given the keys when I arrived. My room was the most most expensive but it did not have a shower. The basics like water and coffee milk was not there.
Beautiful rooms, spacious and Very clean rooms with fresh sheets and towels. Comfortable bed and a microwave.

South AfricaFacility on point. A bit of improvements around the facility.grounds and general appearance would raise the bar . Also the water pressure at the showers requires a bit more bars .
Facility is good .Feel pity for the business as eskom is squeezing their margins to nothing due to back up power / diesel provision . Maybe a solar power project would payoff in the longterm ,

South AfricaThere was an extremely rowdy bunch of guests nearby that was screaming and laughing undeterred on top of their voices until about 23hr40. We eventually got used to the noise and ultimately slept through the noise. I had hoped that the security guard would call them to order, but to no avail. The presence of such calibre of guests really detracted from the aesthetics of the exquisite building.
Breakfast and location were just great

South AfricaMy booking was clearly marked for a couple but only one set of towels was available, similarly for the eating utensils, so dinner is served in the room and you have to request utensils, the food was delivered luke warm and with the wait for utensils it became even colder.
The dinner and breakfast were average, the service was not good.

South AfricaI'm grateful they allocated mom in the room without steps because she has a bad knee. But first night when she couldn't sleep because of the generator noise that we didn't know about,I asked for her to be moved to a far away room but was refused plain blank cos I asked late in the day. There is no access to wash a plate,dish or cups when dirty outside of kitchen staff working hours. You sleep with dirty dishes in the room. One side of the electric blanket was not working.
Located very close to town
