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 AfricaRoom, you only put it in 1 tissue in the toilet, you need to put 2 at a time not 1. Also, that 1 was half used already. I would have hated to call in and ask for a tissue. Also, you room service when i needed additional coffee and sugar they brought in 2 each, instead of just giving me extra just in case.

South AfricaThe location was simply stunning, huge comfortable rooms, a really comfortable work desk, a wonderful pool, hiking trails and most importantly a spectacular view of the Drakensberg mountains. A hidden gem in South Africa, a perfect idea for a weekend away or even to workcation. The rooms are large, comfortable and spotless. A wonderful stay. Thank you, especially to the friendly waitresses at breakfast. This trip was part of a Travel Guru Life Expedition.

South AfricaThat my room didnt have a bar fridge and a microwave i had to constantly go down to the reasturant and ask them to warm my food for me. And that such a big resort only has 1 swimming pool and right in front of the reasturant, i couldnt take a swim because the pool had pipes inside (i think it was being cleaned)
The atmosphere was amazing. The resort is magnificant as i got through to the door all the way up to my room. I was also happy about your check in/out times.I also engaged in some activities which i really enjoyed. I loved everything about the resort and i am planning on coming back soon!

South AfricaThe menu for dinner and breakfast was not good, it didn't give us many options to choose from, there was no real appetising food no statch.. The morning reception lady she was not professional and friendly at all. We called her from our room 302 to ask for the iron she was not friendly at all and she didn't bring it. In our room there was no additional toilet paper as well which was confusing why we didn't have it.
The place is very clean and tidy I love the view
