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.).

FranceThe beds are very short but extremely comfortable. If you’re over 180 cm you could struggle. It does get loud early in the morning when the stalls outside are being set up but it didn’t really bother us.
Very convenient location with beautifully decorated rooms. The staff as always in Cape Town hotels were absolutely wonderful. Lovely light bar area.

AustraliaLimited dinner menu however, what they had was delicious. Also (both good and bad) the African sing song and drums could be heard until close to 11 pm at night. For me, it added to the colour of Cape Town.
The property was very clean and rooms were modern in an heritage building. Located right at the African marketplace and 1 block from the hop on off bus office and stop. Excellent breakfast. Cheap Uber ride to the bustling water front. Very friendly staff.

United KingdomThe food choice was a bit limited both in the breakfast buffet and if you are dining there but there are lots of places around the hotel where you can dine. Location wise you just have to be a bit careful when walking around this (CBD) area at night, there is tourist police about but you can get pestered and they can be very persistent and hence you need to be careful. If this would cause you concern then the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront area would be a better choice. Note this is not the fault of the hotel obviously.
A good value for money hotel and a handy location for what we wanted to do while in Cape Town. The staff and service was good and the rooms were spacious with everything you would expect at this level of hotel.

United KingdomThe noise from outside is a bit of an issue as the single pane windows don't add much of a sound proofing barrier. The area wasn't the greatest but this and the noise aren't anything within the hotels control so can't hold it against them.
Staff were amazing and a special shout out to Guelord, always on top of everything and making sure the stay was enjoyable.

SpainThe Old Bank Hotel is wonderful in every way. But what really makes your stay unforgettable is the team of all the people who make it up. The staff is super friendly, respectful, polite and they make your experience completely pleasant and safe. The hotel has spectacular rooms, comfortable and in perfect condition. Breakfast has what you need but, if you ask, they can prepare more things for you. I've had dinner a couple of nights and the food is wonderful. Special thanks to the breakfast waitress, Aretha, for her kindness, respect and education, she does a great job! Same as the whole Team working at this splendid Hotel, such as Guelord, and many more… My rate 10 out of 10!
