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.).

United KingdomA bit dated and very thin walls. The bed is comfy and clean but the hotel could do with a face lift.
Room service is good, tasty and reasonably priced. The pool area is nice and gets a good amount of sun. The free shuttle to the waterfront is very useful. The cafe downstairs is great and serves some tasty lunch time food.

LatviaRoom is clean and spacious. It is already noticeable that the repairs were done a long time ago or were not done carefully. In some places the wallpaper was peeling off.
Lobby and restaurant are good. Personal is pleasant and good looking👍 I wouldn’t rate it as a 5 star hotel. It’s a good 4 or 4+ star hotel. But African could be 5 … ~190€/day would be a bit much for this as nothing really special up from a groundfloor😄 Gym exists, but it’s rather small. You can use it for lifting. Anyway, it’s clean and good to be there

United KingdomThe shuttle bus service that we were told ran between the hotel & the V&A didn’t turn up when we were told it would so quite unreliable. The location - we would have preferred to be closer to V&A.
The room we had was a good size with excellent shower. The pool area was lovely with nice big beds to relax on however not very many of them so not guaranteed every time. All the staff - especially around the pool & pool bar area were so lovely & friendly & helpful, always checking to make sure we were ok & if we needed anything.

UgandaThe beds are not comfortable, we had booked for a double room and they got two single beds put together but the beds kept on moving and found ourselves on two sperate beds in one room so funny for a married couple.
The breakfast was very good. i love the variety of fruits and Juices. It is located in town and the shuttle to and from V&A made my trip. Rooms are generally big enough and very clean.

South AfricaWater in an unsealed bottle is disappointing.
I was really concerned over the water in the room. The hotel is a decent sized one and my room was not the cheapest. I was terribly dissatisfied with the water that was placed in a bottle without a seal. This is seriously unhygienic. Bottled water promotes confidence. How do I know of the bottle was washed? How do I know If this is tap water? This needs to change. This was also echoed by another client at the hotel.
