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.).

GermanyOne should know that this exclusive room is on the first floor. As a consequence one has to accept steep stairs. As that is mentioned on the website it should be not a problem. As we always travel with light luggage we could enjoy all the plus points of this location
Very spacious room with the balcony overlooking the Main Street of Prince Albert. The bathroom also well equipped and spacious. Safe parking space and a beautiful swimming pool. The dinner was great and a good selection of wines are on the menu. Breakfast offered all what we wanted.

KenyaThe very steep staircase but good exercise …
The friendly welcome, the tasty cheese cake, the cosy bedroom for a good night sleep after an excellent dinner and a breakfast which was good and adequate but could do with choice of croissants and danish pastries to add some finesse…

South AfricaMaybe think of heating the pool a bit, as it was kinda chilly!
Old hotel, well kept and maintained, feeling of stepping back into the past but yet with all amenities available for present day travellers. Staff super friendly, breakfast was more than ample. Happy!

South AfricaNothing not to like. The bar area is also super with a great atmosphere where one can just enjoy the old school charm of a well put together hotel.
This is just such a charming old school hotel. Not a chain, where the unique character of the establishment is fantastic. Recently under new ownership / management, the facilities have been upgraded and the whole experience just gets better and better. We have stayed at the Swartberg Hotel many times and it just gets better and better.

South AfricaI had the luxury room which was very dark with very little natural light. The terrace was not really comfortable to sit in. The room was made up, but the coffee was not replenished the next day and the towels were not fully replenished. They also did not replenish the bathroom shower and shampoo. I also did not have the mosquito mats replenished so had to buy my own.
First the good stuff, the staff are excellent, very friendly and polite wonderful. The pool area is very nice and comfortable.

South AfricaThe evening meal in the dining room was disappointing. We have stayed there before and eaten at the hotel. My husband ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta dish. It was dry, basically a bowl of pasta with chicken strips on top. My husband kept quiet so as not to spoil our evening. Burger at lunch was also undercooked. The last time we visited we really enjoyed the dinner and had really looked forward to eating at the hotel again. R25 for a bottle of sparkling water is also very expensive. We would stay at the hotel again, but consider other options for dinner.
Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, excellent breakfast.
