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.).

SwitzerlandThe room was very dark with little natural daylight trickling in despite the windows, since they were frosted glass to ensure privacy. The pool water was milky and smelled heavily of chlorine, perhaps an alternative filtering system or cleaning gear of the pool could be considered. The avocado toast I ordered for breakfast was made with old avos. It was quite grey and the taste was bitter. The mushrooms were not cooked properly and not salted. I didn't eat it, but the waiter did not react when I told her about this and did not offer to make a new breakfast. I had the fruit instead and that was great.
Loved the decor of the hotel, the beautiful lobby and the kind staff. Also loved that the rooms are so quiet despite being in the centre of a very lively town. The bed was super cosy! The oatmilk flat white I ordered for breakfast was great.

South AfricaWe had a wonderful stay at Oude Werf! The staff were without exception helpful and friendly - we were made to feel welcome by everyone. The facilities were not only beautiful, but also very comfortable. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Stellenbosch. We can also highly recommend the food - delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. In summary, our stay rated 10 out of 10!

GermanyOur room was one of the deluxe rooms on the ground floor next to the parking garage, thus it wasn’t the best location of the room. But it was not loud and the interior was beautiful.

United StatesI liked everything about this property.
One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! The staff felt like good friends who are all trying to take care of you and who are genuinely happy to see you. Breakfast was to die for and the decor was stylish and tasteful. Oude Werf should be a 5-star hotel for sure. I’m currently staying at another 4-star hotel in Cape Town and there is no comparison. Seek no more. You found your perfect place.
