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 AfricaAll good, loved it all, looking forward to a return visit
Wow! What a great venue to visit. The decor is amazing with all the art on display everywhere. The wall murals are very good and each one tells a story of each of the themed rooms. Sunny, warm and airy with music playing throughout the hotel. Love the old world charm and feel of the hotel and all the friendly, well-trained and helpful staff and owners.

South AfricaWhat a great experience, friendly staff, fantastic food and a unique venue. My daughter loved the Apple and Pear Crumble so much at dinner that she ordered it again at breakfast - and it was served with a smile It is well worth the detour as a memorable stay if you are anywhere in the area.

South AfricaI wouldn’t take the rooms on the side next to the blues bistro again. The stairs are difficult with a heavy suitcase.I asked for help carrying my suitcase down.When help was not forthcoming, I carried it myself past the receptionist who had originally promised help( she didn’t notice)
It was quaint, elegant, arty. The food was good for a small town hotel.( some out of stock) Staff could have been slightly more visible in inside and outside dining areas( often had to go looking for them)I liked the fires. I liked the bar.I liked the books made available to read.I liked the music.The coffee was good ( super important)The savoury scones were very good.

IrelandNothing, we loved everything.
an absolute beauty of a hotel, so unique and the joy of all the different decor in the rooms. The staff also were so professional and warm and friendly, especially Candice at the front desk. The outdoor facilities are gorgeous too and we had a dip in the pool. The only downside was we only had one night there I would suggest if you're going book 2 or more nights!

South AfricaOur room was above the kitchen so it was a little noisy in the early morning.
Loved the new refurb - tastefully done, with great art and I loved the big, bold use of wallpaper in the hotel. A big step-up from the hotel's previous incarnation. Our room was impressively big with a huge bathroom.
