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 AfricaEach time you enter the parking, you have to scan your driver's licence to enter and the guard will always ask the same question, what is the purpose of your visit, whereas they should accept your hotel card to enter.
Staff were exceptionally good. Was upgraded to the executive room which was nice as we had free access to the lounge. Would have rated a 10 if they did an evening turndown service.

South AfricaUnfortunately, upon arrival, the door jammed, and we couldn't access the room. However, there was a prompt response from the staff to try and resolve the issue as soon as possible. We were eventually moved to another room with a blocked shower drain. Thankfully, it was also resolved within a matter of minutes after reporting. Also, despite requesting an earlier check-in, we waited at the lobby for more than an hour before we were given a room
The place was spotless, and the room was very spacious with a great view of the ocean. The hotel is statically located for easy access to the beach and the mall. Such a convenience! The staff were super friendly and prompt. Well done!

South AfricaIt’s a bit far to walk to the beach. They refused to give us towels for our beach visits, citing that the beach is too far. Some of the waiters were very nasty and unhelpful. Food items ran out too quickly. The queue to dish up breakfast was extremely long.
It’s modern, the shower was nice, and clean. The lighting was good.

South AfricaThe hotel's check-in process is notably lengthy, with a shortage of friendly staff, some of whom don't even smile—an unusual experience. Despite the claim of sea-facing rooms during booking, the rooms offer only a partial sea view, and the beds face the opposite direction, eliminating the possibility of waking up to a perfect ocean view. Poolside service is slow to almost non-existent, with many unavailable items. Housekeeping fails to replace basic amenities, necessitating daily phone calls. Occasionally, we requested champagne glasses, but they never arrived. It was my husband's birthday during our stay, and I sent an email seeking assistance to make it special, but received no response, which was quite disappointing. The in-room dining menu lacks variety, especially for children, and lacks drink options. Checkout personnel could benefit from being more amiable.
The hotel exudes exquisite charm and comfort, enhanced by its perfect location. The rooms are both spacious and modern.

South AfricaThe check-in was not seamless and incorrect rooms were allocated. First one had housekeeping in it. Second one was not seaview as per the booking. My toddler dropped his toy and we also noticed how filthy the floor and carpet was underneath the bed.
Great spot, and value for money.
