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 AfricaCracks all over the place, ceiling, walls & tiles. Plug sockets hanging out of the walls. Dimmer switches missing. No mirror in the main bedroom or dressing area. Hairdryer nowhere to be found until after I had bought one. Found it in the kitchen cupboard above the tumble dryer just where you would expect it to be!! Dishwasher was stinky probably from lack of use. No tea towels. Mismatched glasses. Shortage of plates. Cracked mirror in 2nd bathroom, broken toilet seat. No coffee machine, had to buy a bodum. Water pressure was really bad but that happens. Coffee table was burnt & scuffed. No toiletries apart from little soaps which to me is not "toiletries".
The location was great as we had a function at the Beverly Hills Hotel. We had a sea view

South AfricaThe apartment could do with some minor improvements. Maintenance needs to be improved as well. The little stuff makes it frustrating like aircon remotes not working..no mirrors in the bedrooms..majority of the downlighters are fused making the apartment very dark...no washing up sponge or dishcloth provided. Otherwise all good
Excellent location..very neat and clean.Secure parking.

South AfricaFor starters a complimentary choice of tea/coffee sachets would have been most welcome. Kitchen was very ill-equipped for a self-catering unit. Lounge set very, very uncomfortable, needs replacing. A smart TV is needed and reception in the main bedroom was very poor. Front door lock is faulty and the sliding door to the balcony did not lock.
The location is great. Would have preferred a unit on a higher floor, we were on the 1st floor, and the view was obscured.

South AfricaThe apartment needs a lot of maintenance. The carpets are dirty and there are huge cracks on almost all the walls. The main bedroom’s bed is the hardest most uncomfortable bed we’ve ever slept on. The vanity in the main bathroom is about to collapse. The curtains in the main bedroom hardly move. The second bedroom has a blind which lets in light from the outside building corridor. The kitchen is very sparsely equipped, no salad bowl, mixed and matched cutlery and glasses. Air-conditioners need to be serviced as they rattle and need duct tape to prevent them sounding like tractors. Some of the internal light switches are missing dimming knobs and a few lights don’t come on at all.
Location was excellent as you’re walking distance to the heart of Umhlanga.

South AfricaThe entire unit should have been fixed up before my family and I moved in. On arrival we noticed numerous cracks on the walls throughout, Some damp marks on the walls, missing light buttons on the walls. The kitchen cupboards were full of cockroaches. The aircon in the first room made a loud noise. Both aircons were stuck closed with duck tape. The locks leading out onto the balcony did not work. The main door key lock did not turn properly to open/close. This unit was disgusting !!
