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 AfricaThere were 3 busloads of school children running wild in the hotel. Hotel management did nothing to control these guests (kids) running up and down the hotel passages late at night and 4am in the morning. Their teachers were nowhere to be seen. Doors were slammed right through the night. Kids swam unsupervised at night in the pool with a boombox blasting music with no regard to the rest of the hotel guests 9pm/10pm. I asked Hotel Manager to contact me, still waiting.
Cleaning Staff were efficient and friendly

South AfricaCheck in says 14:00 but they gave us the keys at 16:00 because they were still cleaning the rooms. When we finally got to our room the beds were not made, no toilette paper, towels or tea & coffee. There was no chair to sit on in the room. The air on, tv and outlet plugs weren’t working, so we had to wait another hour to get a new room. When we got to our new room the tv wasn’t working. When we said thank you to the lady working there she said, “no pleasure”. Very rude.

South AfricaTv didnt work, aircon didnt work, we didnt have pillows, didnt have enough towels for the 4 of us. Room was dirty. Bathtub was cracked. Hairdryer in bathroom fell apart. They wanted to charge us R150 per child for breakfast. We didnt even stay the full 2 nights we left the morning after out first night because it was that horrible. Asked for a refund as it was definitely not what we booked as per the photos on booking.com and they refused to give a refund.
The only thing good about this place was the location.

South AfricaChecked in at 4. My room was smelling of smoke and had no bedding done. Got a room replaced after 45min wait but the bedding was still not done on arrival. At around 8am next morning while I was in bed the cleaning ladies opened my door and just entered. Took a bath because the shower was not working only to realise that there was no towels.

South AfricaOur stay was during the KKNK Karoo festival and check in on Good Friday Long queues resulted in a stressful situation for the staff who could not cope. Our room did not have the facilities as per booking. Had to ask for towels. Only a shower and no bath as requested due to the chaos that followed after 300 school kids checked out the same day.
The room was spacious with pool view and beds provided a solid sleep. No traffic noise. The location great. Staff was very friendly and breakfast buffet good.. Will stay again as it is good value for money.

South AfricaFirstly, the Oudtshoorn Inn promotes serving international cuisine and BBQ for dinner and Oudtshoorn Inn had no staff available for dinners especially since my booking was made through booking.com The general condition of the room was not up to standard as none of the facilities promoted, eg. hairdryer, iron was available. The room had no DSTV but only SABC channels and 2 sports channels. Our room had no WiFi during our stay as the signal was so weak. We had loadshedding whilst at Oudtshoorn Inn and the facility had no emergency light in the room and no generator at the Inn. The Inn also had no secured parking or security to safeguard vehicles. On our departure, the front desk was unmanaged and I had to look for the staff to check out.
I didn't like anything of the Oudtshoorn Inn as none of what they offer was provided.

South AfricaNo room service and no vending machines, if you want anything after hours you need to drive to go buy it. Who remembers Dail up, that's how bad the WiFi is.. the room smelled musky, like a old wet rag, there's no generator (to run the aircon) during the load shedding we experienced while we were there in summer... in blazing hot weather.
It's reasonably quiet and within walking distance of amenities and restaurants, breakfast was ok but no bacon as it's halaal.

South AfricaWe arrived at 2:30pm (check-in as it 2pm) and had to wait 30 mins in the foyer as I room wasn't ready, which is not the end of the world, but when we got up to our room, the bathroom floor was full of water as the toilet was leaking. They had just finished cleaning it and did not notice this? We had to go down stairs to report this and they sent up someone to try and repair the toilet. After 30 minutes of waiting for them to fix it, I eventually insisted on another room as it did not seem like it was going to be fixed soon. Big and deep swimming pool with only two step ladders to get into the pool. One one the shallow end and one in the (2m) deep end, which had no steps! So it was completely useless and a major safety risk in my opinion. Guests were brining in their own (hard) liquor and drinking around the pool so we decided to leave instead. We battled to sleep as there were kids running up and down the hotel passages with no parents in site until just before midnight. We tried calling reception via the room telephone to report it, but the phone did not seem to work and no instructions or contact numbers that we could find in the room. We had to go out and ask the kids to quiet down a few times. At 23:45 I asked a guest to get his kids to stop shouting as they were coming down the passage and back from the swimming pool, but there is a sign at the the pool stating that the pool closed at 21:00 and night swimming is strictly prohibited?? The rooms are very old and lack of maintenance seemed evident in my opinion. When guests in other rooms turned on the taps it made a horrible noise in our room. Our hair dryer in the bathroom was removed and the holes patched up. The previous room at least had a hair dryer. The staff were friendly, but lacked training with regards to interacting with guests. Some had uniform on and others didn't. I've stayed in many 3 star hotels and this in my opinion is not a 3 star.
It seemed affordable when I booked, but realised after our stay that it actually wasn't.
