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 AfricaYour pork (tasted like old skin) and beef sausages (far too much salt). Only one bottle of water for 2 people?? Parking a double cab on P4 was very difficult. Too much electronics. Struggled with app. Plastic plants ?? Come on guys in one of the greatest floral areas in the world!
Rooms, shower etc great. Lifts excellent. Staff professional. Airconditioning. Help with taxi. Decor (gold) was bit over the top but I overcame the feeling. At least you were consistent. Room lighting was great except toilet light going on and off.

United KingdomFurther from the harbourside than I had anticipated and along major roads so relatively unpleasant to walk. Not the hotel's fault but not having a shuttle to and from the airport is a big disadvantage as taxi drivers are dishonest!
Great breakfasts, comfort, views, staff helpful, security.....a bit glizzy for my taste, but that is not important. Liked the sofa in the room + room facilities; well located for the city centre and hop-on-hop-off bus.

South AfricaBreakfast options were very limited . More hot items required - veg options . The breakfast staff were not friendly and quite rude when requesting the refills on certain items offered. Waffles were always finished. The assistant helping with Hot Chocolate from the kitchen (machine ran out-self-service option) was quite rude when requesting 4 cups(family of 4) , sounded as if it was burden.We gave them a benefit of the doubt, hoping that the long weekend might of just made them tired.
The aesthetics of the hotel blew our minds. The Breakfast was hot and tasty. Reception staff and security personnel was friendly and attentive.The views from the hotel was incredible and comfort in general was good. Felt very safe. The app for the hotel was very informative and helped with food- hitech. Enjoyed the facilities- Pool and Gym.

South AfricaWe had booked a number of rooms, one of which was for my daughter on the eve of her 21st Birthday. We wanted to suprise her at breakfast and all be seated around the table waiting for her. I was disappointed that when I called in advance to make a table reservation and I was told on separate occasions that I couldn't book or arrange a large table in advance. It was an inconvenience having to contact your operations manager who was happy to assist.
Great variety and selection of food for breakfast.

South AfricaThe parking spaces are cramped, and the secured parking has one lane for traffic and on coming, so its a bit od a hussle getting to it. The room was small, there's alot of furniture pushrod in to fit the room leaving very little wiggle room.

United KingdomThe gluten free breakfast box I requested included food in it that had gluten i.e. jungle bar contains gluten oats. The chocolate muffin looked like the other muffins and did not have a gluten free label on it so I did not want to risk eating it. I am allergic to gluten and even though the breakfast bag said gluten free on it, the food was not labelled gluten free so I was very cautious about what I ate and what I didn't. I only ate the sandwich as it looked like gluten free bread as it was smaller than the other sandwiches. There were also no spoons included in the breakfast bag so we could not eat the yoghurts that were provided which was a shame. Food allergies must be taken seriously by the hotel/staff when food is prepared as for some people it can be a matter of life and death when e.g. you have a nut allergy. Thankfully my gluten allergy is not as severe as this. However, I would expect from a 4 star hotel, that has a mixture of local and international guests, the staff should be well educated and trained in food preparation. And allowances should be made for guests with food allergies. I wasn't keen on the tea/coffee facilities being on each floor as opposed to being in our room. My husband could not use the tea/coffee maker as it had run out of milk and hot water. More regular checks need to be made by staff to ensure that the machines are in good working order and topped up. We also discovered that the wifi signal in the bedroom was not strong enough for our daughter to use her tablet on her bed. We also struggled to turn the tv on and off. My husband could not turn the tv off by the remote and had to turn it off on the actual tv. My tv turned off ok but wouldn't turn on in the morning. Overall our stay was a pleasant stay. Thank you.
Staff were friendly and welcoming, especially the doorman and the receptionist upon check-in. We liked the novelty factor of the hotel being very 'bling' and over the top re decor. Our request for a late checkout was authorised which was nice, thank you. Breakfast had a good choice for the whole family, however, none of the food was labelled for allergy sufferers like myself re 'free from gluten', and there were no gluten free options of bread/toast that I could see. The private parking was a bonus, and the views from the top of the hotel re bar and restaurant were great.
