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 AfricaThe cups and drinking glasses were just put back into use without being washed. Aircon not functioning properly after loadshedding. Rooms only cleaned very late afternoons. Soap dispenser empty and not refilled until requested to do so. Housekeeping cleaning the room in bits and pieces, coming back into the room numerous times each day instead of just coming in once to get the job done.
Good location, well appointed rooms.

South AfricaI made a booking via booking.com and when i made a booking they they did show me a room with a tub and thats the reason i booked it . also did follow ups with hotel directly stating that i wanted a high floor for great views with a tub . on arrival they advised that there was no room available with tub . eventually they had given me a room with a tub [rather small] also the pool is really small , this needs to be upgraded any way overall it was a great stay .

GermanyThe bad weather during the weekends. (Sorry, this is anything bad I could remember :-)
The Staff was at any time just fantastic. I like the food quality of the breakfast. One thing about the cleaning I like most is - as long as I don't put the towels on the floor, they where not exchanged, same for the soap, as long as I keep it, it was not replaced, well, there was a new soap avalible, but it was on me to use it. I like this very much - because this is not only convinient for me, it is also economy friendly. I can just say: Thank you, and hopefully we will see us soon again.

South AfricaWe left the hotel room at 8 got back at 3 n our room was not cleaned. They started that we are supposed to tell them. That's the first tym I every heard that. Everything in the room was 2 not 4 had to ask. Personally I think when u do an online booking is different service. We were on the 9th floor alone most of the rooms was under renovation. I had the same problem when I booked online the ppl there said it's because we booked online. Too noisy area.
Very nice and clean, very friendly staff. Pool area is very nice as well. No mistake with the booking
