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.).

NetherlandsThe hotel was very noisy, you could hear everyone walking in the hallway, the opening and closing of other rooms, guests talking in other rooms. In addition to that, the beds were too small for an average lengthy person.
The location was really good, in the Main Street of the city, close to all restaurants and shops with enough parking space in front of the hotel. Breakfast was good.

IrelandWe loved the hotel, the location was great and the staff very welcoming. Unfortunately, my husband’s camera was stolen from our room whilst we were at the beach. It was locked in our room , and the room was still locked on our return. We made a police report and the hotel staff said they would claim on their insurance. They have refused to pay our claim as they said there was no sign of a break in and my husband signed an indemnity form( which he has no memory of). Clearly, a member of staff or someone with room access entered our room and took the camera. I would warn anyone choosing to stay here, to not leave any valuables in their room.

South AfricaNo backup generator when loadshedding so you sit in the dark with an emergency light...not on for what we paid! No lounge ...so stuck in one room when it rained- i thought a hotel and a four star rating at that should at least have a lounge? Noisy! A restaurant is above the larger suites which you pay a premium for and the noise starts at 6.15am in the morning. Suites on ground level are at road level so ongoing noise during the night. Expensive rate for no facilities.
The room was nicely furnished. Only one suite has the Seaview..ours had a road view. They should make that room a lounge for the hotel guests.

South AfricaNo reserved parking during your stay. Restaurant open to the public, limited tables available when you go for your inclusive breakfast in the mornings. Staff need to sharpen their game.

South AfricaThis hotel has no generator backup in the event of power failure, an absolute necessity for a South African hotel. The noise from the nightclub across the road very disturbing at night.

United KingdomThe load shedding really effected our stay. This area suffers from the highest volume of load sheddding, therefore it effected our stay massively as the hotel does NOT have a generator!!! Also please check your bill upon check out, as this hotel will add on extras!!!!!
The room was very nice, the bed and pillows comfortable,

South Africa1. Towels, need to be replaced with a fluffier towel, felt like we were drying with a piece of cloth 2. Clean room better, like under the bed 3. If you dont have things in mini bar, take it off as something thats in room. Its just fridge thats empty 4. Loadshedding has been around for a while and yet there is just 1 chargable light per room, atleast 2 lights per room and maybe lights to light up the stairs. Some need electricity to sleep at night, sleep apnea machine!! 5. Put room keys on tag or lanyard, they can get misplaced so easily 6. Parking is a big issue
The room was ok.

South AfricaNobody present at reception in afternoons and evenings- as guests you are on your own - no contact number given. The noise from the restaurant which backs onto the bedroom is so unpleasant. The breakfast room serves outside guests as a coffee shop so it is manic in the mornings and very noisey and u have to wait for your breakfast. My mothers room was very dark with little natural light. The location is in the main road so parking is an issue
The bedroom furnishings were beautiful however the outside and surrounding noise spoilt the stay.
