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.).

Their portions are great I mean great for anyone, even a hungry man 😀 So when it comes the deliciousness, it was okay mani, it was not that special, but maybe it was what we were ordering.

South AfricaI was close to the club (room 119), so I could hear the music. The hotel needs to deal with this urgently. The shower has stains and it would be nice to have them removed. By the table there were light stains on the tiles, not too sure what got spilt there and could not be removed permanently. I ordered butter chicken curry and it wasn't really a curry lol. Maybe the hotel can get someone who knows how to cook curries.
The staff is exceptional. They serve you with a smile on their face. I loved the views from my room. I would stay there again.

South AfricaKitchen service was something else. The waiter should communicate with customers. The wait was way too long. We had to cancel certain items and some of the patrons too.
The room was spacious, bathroom with ample space. We had dinner as well which we enjoyed.

South AfricaThe carpet in the passages are so old and dirty and then in my room there is this unsightly stain that I didn’t like at all. Made it seem like the room was dirty. I booked well in advance but I was given a room right at the end of the passage and that didn’t make sense to me.
I like the location of the Bon. Very nice and overall a great location. Reception looked amazing and very clean.

South AfricaIf you are looking for a peaceful sleep after travelling 8 hours to Richards bay this is not the best location for you, this is because of the noise from the night clubs, they are so loud during the Am's and unfortunately you just have to sleep after they have closed. This place is great for someone that loves night life.
The location is great, the rooms were amazing and very clean to my satisfaction. The lights at night made the place extra special i really liked the venue and the food from the restaurant. Our room was nicely cleaned after we came back with sand from the Ocean.
