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.).

United KingdomThe apartment is in urgent need of renovation- the coffee table was broken, sofa could be cleaner, lampshades and tables scratched etc. There was a lot of confusion with reception because the apartment is privately owned - more communication of this ahead of time and better knowledge by the reception about what was arranged would be useful. Eg. We were charged many things on our bill that the apartment owner said was free, we were overcharged for breakfast. So we had to spend a lot of time sending emails to the manager for proof of what had been agreed etc.
Very good variety for breakfast Very good restaurant and bar in the hotel

South AfricaNothing to fault at this establishment, our booking had breakfast included in the price and there was some confusion over this, but it was resolved.
Absolutely everything was amazing!! From the moment we arrived at valet service.. the staff were very welcoming and suite we booked was just so beautiful! Breakfast was delicious! Location was so central even though we never left the hotel.. everything we needed including hotel facilities was right there! Our booking agent Kobus was incredible, He was so kind and professional and always a message away if we were not sure of anything, I will definitely make another booking in the near future!

United StatesI wish I could say something critical but everyone was lovely and I would stay at this residence over where we have stayed previously- the Gorgeous George and the Oranje (great, but not as good as this residence).
The location was superb and overlooked St. George's Mall. It was central to everything in Cape Town- including the Hop on, Hop off bus which round trips everywhere. The room is huge for the price. There is a full kitchen and clothes washing area. The jacuzzi and bathroom area fully accommodates two people. Kobus is an excellent host that can acquire whatever you need in a reasonable time. The hotel staff and amenities are top notch. We used the fitness room, pool, spa, business office, both restaurants, and the bar. The spa includes one of my wife's all time best experiences.

South AfricaUnfortunately Taj has now become a place for big tourist groups. The hotel often felt overcrowded and extremely noisy. Guests were also rude at times and I could see it affected the service of staff. Service was slow and staff were often not friendly. We use to stay there often, but this is the second time in the last month I have stayed for business and unfortunately regretted my choice of accommodation...
Beautiful room with all the amenities you need. Lovely bar area and breakfast was a beautiful spread each morning. Valet parking was great. Some of the staff were very friendly...

South AfricaThe kitchen in the room could have been better stocked. We didn't have basic things like spoons. Poor selection of coffee, snacks. I'd expect a 5* hotel to have streaming services like Netflix. Room service is a bit slow.
