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 AfricaFacilities are run down and the decor needs some serious TLC. With such great history the hotel definitely has potential. A little face lift will definitely change the dynamics of the place.

South AfricaThe town is very grubby and offers little to see. The hotel could clean the litter on their pavements which would take 20 minutes daily and improve the general feel of the hotel The hotel has great potential as a stop over to Garden Route despite the town's condition. Rate the town as one of the dirtiest in the Karroo which im sure the business community is not happy with however helpless with regard to municipalities functionalism.
The hotel was clean and functional with friendly staff. Room was clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. Bathroom was functional for an old hotel with adequate warm water and spotlessly clean Interior of hotel is tidy and what one would expect from an establishment priced in this range. Food was good [ Mixed Grill and Greek Salad ] Safe internal parking No security concerns in the town as we had a long drive around the surroundings

SeychellesUnfortunatly the room was not very clean. The old wooden floors was so noisy that it was not posible to fall asleep. This even when our tiny little dog walk on it.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating, the restaurant was a big plus and made our one night stay easy. We were very thankfull to be accommodated with our dogs. Thank you very much.

South AfricaThe parking was good but perhaps someone should manage it as someone had parked in a way that blocked everyone from leaving, I had to ask the reception lady for help. She said he wasn't even supposed to be there.
The place was clean, the Aircon worked well, nice to be in an old town and building, well maintained piece of history.

South AfricaThere was really nothing we liked. It is not at all as described on the booking.com website and the photos are not a true reflection of the facility.
The building is in need of maintenance and the bedding showed signs of previous use with no cleaning done as there was hair on the sheets and pillows After the unwelcoming reception, filthy and well used bedding and sagging beds, we did not stay but continued on our journey. We have requested a refund based on the fact that what is advertised on the booking.com website compared to the actual facility is definitely not the same. The owner has not responded.
