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 Lady at Reception made unpleasant traditional noises like calling African spirits in a deep voice, then she speaks to me softly like she’s two different people. This made me very very uncomfortable She apologised but as a Christian I was badly shook by her behaviour and wondered what triggered it when I was sitting right in front of her

South AfricaI was under the impression that breakfast was standard for all bookings.This would be obvious for people looking at the adverts at a glance.Please state your bookings as standard without breakfast.Please then state the booking with breakfast and the additional cost.Anyone reading your advertised bookings would be misled by the way you present it.The lighting in my room wasn't great.I reported the light wasn't working but nobody attended to the complaint.The bathroom doors in both my children's and my room was stuck and hard to open and close.Apart from the above complaints our stay was pleasant.
The venue was good and the location.The staff were reasonably friendly.It was easy to get in and out of the hotel and the parking was good.

South AfricaThe fact that other visitors sit outside at 4.30 in the morning chatting and laughing at top of their voices and I had to tell them to be quiet which they did not do and then I had to call reception but that still did not work and the mess these people left by the seating area outside.
Loved the Room and it was clean and comfortable.

South AfricaI loved that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone there has excellent communication skills. The cost to stay there is affordable considering where the hotel is located and the types of rooms you get... Oh and their air conditioners are functional and if you know Durban, you know that air conditioners are a need for those really humid days.

South AfricaOnly suggestion is that the carpet and the shower wall in our guest room could do with a full cleaning for the stains. Because the shower is open plan in the room, the steam and hot air created a bit of a musty smell in the room when we first walked in. Switching on the aircon however can solve that problem easily. I think there should also be a bell or sensor that alerts reception when you pull up at the front gate. Small changes, but not necessarily bad as the overall stay was amazing. These are merely pointers for future improvement.
Staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful at any time of the day. Room was great and comfortable large bed. Lovely big breakfast and the kitchen staff are A+ with great personalities and service. Would definitely recommend this guest house.
