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 AfricaAll good except the restaurant was closed to the public on Sunday night and as it was our celebration night for our 40th this was disappointing
As it was our 40th wedding anniversary I requested a bottle of sparkling wine be placed in the room but the hotel went further and placed a beautiful chocolate cake too with congratulations iced on it to add to our celebration!

United KingdomIt is a hotel that accommodates business guests, conferences etc and touists, it's centrally located but in the business district, not a problem for us but may not be quite right for a guest seeking a purely tourist / holiday vibe.

South AfricaThere was a group that became intoxicated and loud, destroying the relaxing atmosphere around the pool. I sensed that everyone was a bit annoyed by this but did not dare to say anything. I think it should have been dealt with by hotel management.
Breakfast was great. We enjoyed the atmosphere at the pool area and the staff/waiters that served us at the same location were very nice. The Stella restaurant serves very nice meals and makes great cocktails.

Central position and a free shuttle to and fro to the V&A harbour every hour with last bus leaving harbour at 10.30pm. Was ideal for morning tours from harbour or just shopping and eating trips.

CanadaThe area is not very safe. Upon arriving our first day, mid afternoon, we looked out the window to see an older couple being mugged on the boardwalk (thankfully security was close by). One of our colleagues was attacked on his walk back on one of the nights and stabbed several times, ending up in the hospital. Another of our colleagues was carjacked on the street nearby. Be extremely careful walking alone during the day or at night. Uber works well but can be tricky to get someone after midnight.
Easy to get to. Quick walk to the wharf (or free shuttle). Right across the street from the convention centre. Nice breakfast. Our first room was really nice, big corner room, same price, but our second room was the same layout but MUCH smaller so you room can vary although both were nice enough. Beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and very helpful.
