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 AfricaWe found out that we had 1 set of towels the night we checked in, the next day we asked for extra towels, the lady's tone was unappreciated because my friend explained, she still came to me to ask again. The tap system in the toilet was a bit tricky to operate but we got it eventually, the water pressure of the shower, not good at all. No ironing facilities in the room, we had to go to the laundry room to iron, I get it's a small place. The hot breakfast was bland, we didn't even have it on the last day.
Quaint small place, room was clean. The front desk staff, Mr Zulu and another gentleman were very helpful and friendly. The cold breakfast was good, muffins fresh and a decent coffee machine. The view is beautiful, the area and accommodation is quiet, ideal if you just want to relax. The lady staff were ok

IrelandThe breakfast was a bit haphazard. We had to ask for more milk, bowls, cups, and glasses each morning, rather than them being automatically re stocked. The location is a bit further away than the listing would suggest - you won't be walking anywhere, but an Uber to the Waterfront was very cheap and only took 7ish minutes. I'm not sure if this is the norm in South Africa, but we had to open a water valve to get water in the bathroom sink or shower, and the water pressure wasn't very high, but we got by!
The staff were very friendly and the rooms were nice. My bed was very comfortable. The view from the hotel was beautiful.

BelgiumThe worst shower we had in our 3 weeks in South Africa (and we've been to the North, to the East, to the centre and to the South). What a turn-off. It wasn't really getting to the temperature that we desired, but most frustrating was the amount of water that was dripping out of it. We never had the feeling of having had a shower, we never actually felt the water coming down on our skin (the water jets were that thin and light). The soap stayed on your body, and if you grabbed the shower hose there wasn't even enough pressure to make the water go vertical upwards for more than a cm (there goes the washing the soap away from your armpits for example). As a last stop in South Africa the room isn't really big or handy to organise your luggage either. The Wifi was not working in our room, unless you stood right next to and even against the entrance door (then you got a "sometimes working 1 bar of Wifi").
Very friendly staff, both at the reception as in the kitchen/breakfast area. Our first night we got the whole tour of the hotel thanks to the receptionist. The room was very clean and well maintained. We loved the fact that there was our own private cosy terrace outside! The bed was enormous and gave us a good night sleep. The location was superb; it was quiet yet right at the middle of everything at the same time + easy accessible. The breakfast had an extensive selection and tasted really good. The view from this hotel facing the city bowl and a couple of skyscrapers and the hills was magnificent! There was a secure parking area as well (a bit small for all the cars that were parked there, but you had a spot anyway).
