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 StatesWe stayed there on 2 different occasions. The first room was spacious and I loved the decor. The 2nd time we stayed there, we had the loft. It was less expensive but it was difficult to see any view through the slanted windows in the loft.
The location was great, very safe, music and drumming often around the area and close to many restaurants and the hop on hop off bus. The breakfast buffet as well as ordering from the menu was delicious. The staff were very helpful.

United StatesConvenient location within V&A waterfront. Onsite restaurant & bar with excellent food and service. Close to dozens of restaurants and shopping. (We liked Karibu restaurant for typical African offerings). Our flight out was early, before breakfast service begins; they packed breakfast boxes for us. Beds were really comfortable and room really quiet.

AustraliaWe had booked an arrival airport transfer directly with the hotel but nobody turned up, so we ended up getting a taxi to the hotel which was actually half the price of the hotel transfer.
Great location in the heart of V&A area. We had booked a room with water and mountain views, and the views were wonderful- I enjoyed watching Table Mountain in all its variations and also enjoyed the seals playing in the water.

United KingdomDidn't like having to leave.
Location was superb for us. Breakfast selection was excellent, just about everything you could think of was available, and as for the view from the restaurant, what can we say.....stunning !! Our room was always spotless, it was spacious and extremely comfortable. We have to make a special mention of the staff though, always friendly, and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble for them, even when the restaurant was really busy and they were covering several tables at the same time.
