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 staff were top notch, friendly and professional. I wasn't in the best space when I went, so their kindness made it feel like home. The rooms that we got were amazing Room 17 & 18! Perfect view of the pool and spacious comfortable room. The food was fresh and cooked from scratch. Excellent!

South AfricaUpon having a booking.com issue whereby the first accommodation booked they couldnt not accommodate my family, we then had to wait 5hours for a re booking to be confirmed in an unknown place which was also endangering the lives of me and my family including my 6 year old, we then confirmed a rebooking to arrive at a place where they have probably given us the worst room at the property at 10pm at night with us having a whole ordeal we just had to settle for it because it was already late at night and my 6yr old lb was already exhausted and scared , the room was pathetic as the bathroom tub was rusting and cracking the bed was hard the shower door was broken and at the start of winter you need a hot shower however the was was Luke warm not even hot this has been my worst scariest experience ever , it was so pointless booking as we waiting 5hours for a check-in and booking.com to assist us with the issue then the place was terrible and remorse or compensation shown towards us.

South AfricaWe paid almost R5000 for 2 rooms. 1 room the toilet didn't flush. We only got 1 towel per room and had to ask twice for more towels. Service was bad from the staff. There was no hot water in the morning.
The food was amazing and the garden area was beautiful.

South AfricaThe guests staying at the hotel were disruptive and noisy. From 20h00 to 4h00, they were talking loudly, laughing histerically, at times shouting, banging doors and up and down the passage. There was no duty manager looking out for the comfort of other paying guests. We had no hope of sleeping. On arrival, the 5-year-old old daughter of the receptionist was sitting eating with her at the reception. Not very professional. I will definitely not stay at the Redlands Hotel again. It was a very unpleasant experience.
The location was very convenient for the business we had to conduct.
