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.).

BotswanaThe Hotel should consider providing a shuttle service from and to the airport and put it as a hidden cost as part of the accommodation package. Provide day trips to key tourist attraction sites such as Ushaka Marine
The food menu was excellent. with a wide variety. The bar was well stocked with good variety of beverages. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was always kept clean. The barman was very good.

South AfricaThe menu does not have much of a variety, hardly any vegetarian options. Room service also closes too early unfortunately. Thankfully, there are food places near by to grab a quick bite.
We enjoyed the spa, pool and games facilities. Really nice that there is easy access to the beach.

South AfricaI didn't like the fact that you don't offer food that accommodates toddlers, may you kindly add macaroni and cheese, French fries,chicken nuggets on your menu. For festive holidays, can you also add entertainment in the evening like karaoke or traditional dance groups. Since the hotel is located in an area where there's no so many activities, we ended up being stuck in the room because it was raining.
Stuff is very friendly and helpful, very clean space.

South AfricaThe Spa was quite disappointing, when one books at a Protea hotel there is an expected standard or level of ambience expected especially at their Spa. The nail polish was running out and the lady kept on tipping the bottle over, the massage rooms are tiny. The feeling I got at this Spa was that of a back room Spa at the location. The staff was very friendly at the Spa and they knew what they were doing, my disappointment is more on the facility that needs to be upgraded to the level of the brand Protea hotel.
The food was exceptional, the staff were very friendly, and the view was breath taking especially the rising sun in the morning.

Staff are friendly and accommodating. Bedrooms are well-appointed and extremely clean. Great bed and pillows made for a great sleep. Wonderful pastas and curries are on the dinner menu. Breakfast was very impressive with one of the biggest selections ever, and the kitchen staff attending to the breakfast service went out of their way to make it a great experience. Hotel is very accessible for business purposes and a short drive from Durban.
