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 KingdomAn admin error within the hotel team meant that our room had been cancelled prior to our arrival. We had to wait for some time for a room to be allocated and prepared.
Superb view!

United KingdomTo be honest, for the cost, the suite did not quite meet expectations. The upgrade I selected on Booking.com clearly stated an external seating area / balcony. Many other suites and rooms had these but we did not.
Very smooth arrival and check-in at a hotel that has a hint of the Agatha Christie era about it, Very good facilities, restaurant and bar, and very close to many other options as well. Professional and friendly staff - and we were given a slightly later checkout at no extra cost.

South AfricaThe shower water pressure was a bit lacking, the veranda could do with some glamming up, and the robes are too small to fit larger people.
Staff were all lovely, and the restaurant's food was divine and reasonably priced for the quality.. Very convenient location, excellent spa, gorgeous sea views.

South AfricaThere is nothing to dislike.
We just loved everything at The Marine. The staff were delightful, our room was magnificent, we were given a seafacing room when the staff found out it was our 40th wedding anniversary. We had treats in our room and we were treated like royalty by every staff member.

South AfricaExcellent location in the centre of town and right on the beautiful cliff path. The property has magnificent sea views and each room is unique and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a luxurious home rather than a hotel room. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a fabulous stay. The hotel restaurant food was superb and offered an extensive selection, however the position of the hotel makes for easy access to a number of great restaurants. Spa treatments were also excellent and the hotel has a very quiet and private pool for guests.
