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 AfricaDidn't realise it was shared accommodation. Towels were old and stained. There was a stain on the mattress that showed through the sheet and looked like what could only be blood. Most of the coffee cups were all chipped. No coffee supplied.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was good.

It was build on a rock, as it’s called Mzansi Rock. The aesthetic was charming.

South AfricaWhen I got there, the room was not clean. It had dust and had spider webs. It was visible that it had not been occupied in a long time.
When I called the host requesting to check in early, they were accomodative. And also made an attempt to mop the floors when I requested them to. I was able to focus on work, the room was spacious with a desk and a chair. The bed was also very comfortable.

South AfricaA family room with no bathtub was a bit of a letdown. The room was not properly cleaned, the linen atleast was clean but everything else was dirty, throw, rugs, scatter cushions. Must do better on that.

South AfricaThe place is not being properly managed and maintained. As you arrive you are greeted by a driveway full of weeds and a garden that's lacking maintenance. There is nobody manning the reception to welcome the guests or to attend to them when they need something. I was welcomed by a cleaner who showed me to my room and told me that she was asked to take the image of my ID and send it to the owner. The room that l stayed in was not clean at all. I was greeted by a stink, which l later realized was coming from the mats that were very dirty and the cousions on the swinging chair and the other chair in front of the dressing mirror. The ceiling fan has accumulated a lot of dust and had a broken switch, which l fixed myself. Lots of dust on the window seal as well. Broken plugs that were not working. Very small TV that had a faulty screen, you can hardly see anything because of how tiny it is. No backup power during loadshedding, they only have very little power that works for the lights in the room, that's it. Not even the intercom works during loadshedding, l arrived during that period and was stuck at the gate, fearing to get mugged. I had to make some phone calls to eventually get someone to open for me.
Location was perfect but the rest was a disaster
