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 AfricaWaiting staff wasn't not friendly. Had to wait for check in and check out as no one was available to help. The room we stayed in, was in a extremely noisy passage and we were woken up a couple of times at night during our stay.
Breakfast was good. Location is great. Love the bar area & vibe.

Very spacious room with wonderful view on the sea even though a bit further from the coast line. The historical building ads to its charm.

United KingdomTo be honest no complaints.
The Paternoster Hotel is perfectly situated for short breaks to the West Coast. Easy check in by friendly staff. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay here. We chose to have meals out however we did frequent the bar and breakfast was very good served by friendly staff.

South AfricaThe "older Lady" hotel offers very good value for money when visiting Arniston. Security is always highlighted in Arniston and we had no concerns as South Africans in the hotel or town. Car SUV was parked in the parking lot that has camera's and regularly visited by Security Company and Neighbourhood Watch on bicycles- saw it myself . Atmosphere in the bar and restaurant is festive and food is good home style cooking. Staff and Management very helpful and cheerful. They deserve your support when choosing a good value for money and hospitable venue.Not for those looking for fine dining,peace and quiet or expecting to meet Lords and Ladies.

South AfricaThe locks on the room door and bathroom are ill fitting. The bed sheets and pillows are a bit yellow - nothing a bit of extra bleach couldn't sort out.
The hotel is a great old friendly place, and you can spend hours in the Panty Bar talking to visitors and locals alike. Breakfast was served efficiently and promptly by friendly staff, all meals came together and the quality was very good. Good value for money considering the location and breakfast being included.

South AfricaIt would be nice if we could have a bar fridge in our room. We were surprised that their kitchen closed at 16h00 on Sundays .So we had to go for supper elsewhere.
It was a first hotel stay for us. The lounges was comfortable. The Art exhibition is good in the hotel.Aswell as the Sea Shell shop.

South AfricaThey only start serving breakfast at 8:30 am, so we had to skip this because of long drive ahead. Though we heard the food is good we did not eat dinner at the hotel, as the dining area is rather basic.
Great location and lively lunchtime atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful.
