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 AfricaA few trees for shade in the parking area would be a good move.
The best location for being in the Natal Midlands. The choice of breakfasts was extensive, different and delicious. We asked for our room to be changed to a garden view and it was done with minimum fuss and lots of help. All the staff, from reception to cleaning to dining room are helpful and put in the effort to make one’s stay comfortable.

South AfricaNothing worth mentioning.
Good size room. Unfortunately no real view. Rooms with garden view preferable. Lovely pub with friendly and warm atmosphere. Staff and patrons alike. Closest to a genuine English pub (before the current so-called gastro pubs) one can get in RSA. Wonderful beef and Guinness pies. Breakfast also excellent. Wife said best eggs benedict she's had in a long time. Overall great stay.

United KingdomCleaners were not prompt with bedding. We slept on bottom sheet twice regardless of mosquito bites bleeding marks, bath towel on second day was left on the floor but hung back onto the rail. Top sheet removed on third night. Not major concerns but things to address.
Location, loads of surroundings to visit. Like Mandela capture centre and Drakensburg mountains. Quiet and peaceful area.

South AfricaThe staff were ineffecient, reasons being: 1. We requested a certain room, it was confirmed however the room was given to somebody else. 2. Dinner seating had to be booked, we were not notified of this, the 4th person we spoke to were able to make a plan for us. 3. The waiters operate almost as if they didn't get any training.
The food was magnificent. We had pizzas for dinner, which was supurd and the breakfast was also super nice. The establishment is very neat and has a lekker vibe.

South AfricaThere was nothing that I was unhappy with. While there isn't much to be done about it, there was rather a sewerage-like smell wafting across the grounds, but the happiness of being there made our stay worth while.
Breakfasts at Notties are always super!!

United StatesWiFi away from the reception, pub and restaurant areas was sketchy at best.
The Nottingham Road Hotel is a funky, old-fashioned, wood-paneled place, staffed with easy-going enthusiastic young people. It is easy to find, conveniently located, and with large grounds and ample parking thereon. Show up on a Friday or Saturday and it will be immediately obvious that this is the local hotspot, gathering a crowd from far and wide. As American visitors, we had a fun-filled evening watching the South Africa vs Ireland Rugby World Cup match, when the house was filled to overflowing with enthusiastic patrons, decked out in suitable Springbok attire. No thirst went unquenched, and over 150 pizzas were served that night, I was told later. "All were had by a good time", as they say. Excellent comfort food and service too in both Notties Pub and on the restaurant side! Notties Pub gear is available for sale in the reception area. Highly recommended!
