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 KingdomOn checking in I was unable to pay by card due to a network issue and was disappointed that the payment was not taken automatically by booking.com from the card I had registered on my app for payment. I could not do a bank transfer as there was no BIC number which is required for international payments which this would have been. A family member kindly made the bank transfer. The network issue continued until Saturday morning. Thankfully Saturday evening I was able to use my card for payment. There was a large group booked at the hotel and they had a party until late Saturday night. Loud music could be heard in our unit which made it difficult to sleep. I could not call the Reception desk from the room phone to report this and had to use my mobile phone to call the hotel number. When the Receptionist called the room phone to advise about the noise I answered but no sound so had to use my mobile phone again to call the front desk.vThe Receptionist kindly offered us a late check-out at 11am. Ideally, the hotel should advise guests that the rooms would not be in the hotel itself but in a chalet as this was misleading.
The excellent and attentive service by staff in the restaurant, Chef Patrick was accommodating at breakfast this morning with us not eating beef or pork. He especially made our table of 10 lamb sausages. Our lovely waiter (whose name I cannot remember) throughout our stay made us and served us lovely tea and coffees. He was very attentive and friendly with a smiling face. 10 out of 10 to the restaurant staff. We also enjoyed the quiz on Saturday evening. It was such fun. The unit we were allocated was comfortable and clean.

South AfricaI think a separate dining area/setup for adults dining alone would be nice. Meal times were too loud for my liking. I felt there wasn't enough staff to assist. One had to wait to be seated. They tried, but it can be better.
We booked a suite which was so spacious with lovely views of the mountain. It had both bath and shower. The staff were always ready to assist us. It's definitely family friendly ...lots to do for the kids

South AfricaI didn’t like the fact that only a buffet supper was available and no a’la carte menu, forcing you to eat in or drive out.
Nestled in the mountains, and therefore good for hiking, there are numerous activities available to keep you busy.

South AfricaDinner and drinks - very pricy and if you are late, you miss out on the nicer dishes. Breakfast - same, same, same every time. No nice coffee maker for latte or something different. Only vegetable toppings available for omelettes. No control over games "availability" - people book it out for days without returning. Rather take your own (we forgot ours on this trip)

South AfricaThe staff needs to a serious customer service training. The food is offering was disappointing, they don’t cater for non meat eaters and the buffet was a joke, with a set limited menus, again only for those who eat meat. The reception was also not helpful at all, we wanted to go hike but could cause the one guide they have was injured. Booked a spa only to be told a day before that a therapist had an emergency and they had no one else to stand in for her. Description of the place says there’s an indoor heated pool but that’s not true, the pool is indoor but not heated, the lady at reception gave us a lame excuse about the weather being the cause for the pool to be cold… Also the parking there needs some work, they need to rethink allocating a packing bag to a unit. We had to park far from our room cause bays close by we’re fully occupied, it just format work. The heater in our room barely got warm and was so noisy we had not option but to switch it off whenever we were inside.
Loved the facilities, great place to entertain kids and get active.

South AfricaThe bath in our room I.e. 214 is just ridiculous To access the shower one has to climb onto a 400mm block over the edge of the bath and across to the shower. Anyone who is not 100% fit and agile is at risk of severe injury. This really does need immediate attention.
The breakfast was good.
