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.).

IrelandThe view of my apartment was the only let down of the stay, on the booking it stated mountain view, but i got a unit on the ground floor without a real view.
The apartment was amazing, the location is also great! A bit of a walk to the shops but the area was great. I really enjoyed the clean, spacious apartment.

South AfricaThe check-in process is a mission. Why bother with online check-in, as it makes no difference. The staff promised a second key, that they did not have... Be prepared for the maze of parking and apartments. Easy once you figure it out.
Great city dock location. Spacious. Great views.

PortugalSome technicalities made the stay uncomfortable: the air conditioner in one bedroom was making lots of noise and the one in the other bedroom was not working properly. We slept there for 2 nights very uncomfortable. Location and apartment itself was beautiful but the stay was not the best because we couldn't get proper sleep.
Location, beautifully decorated and fantastic views to the canal.

United KingdomBeds and sofa very hard. I wouldn’t call this luxury accommodation by any stretch - the location itself was though, with views of the waterfront and Table Mountain. Several small snags but they weren’t sorted out despite calling several times. Reception staff were very helpful though.

United KingdomTaxis seemed to find it difficult to locate the reception area for pick ups when we were checking in and when leaving on our trip. On other days you could use the barrier entrance near the Cape Grace Hotel end which worked better.
Spacious well equipped apartment Great views from the balcony over the waterways. Very convenient location. Nice staff. Very safe security.

United KingdomThe power backup system made a terrible noise during the hours of sleep. The unit of the bedroom should have a separation panel to avoid any noises from kitchen dinning area. It’s more like a studio apartment than a one bedroom apartment.
The position to waterfront excellent

United KingdomGeneral staff attitude was good but two (don't remember names) were not that helpful especially when looking for the way to the main entrance. They were not clear in their instruction/guidance. But we eventually found our way, and once we found the way to the main entrance it was easy. But it could have been better explained.
Great location with easy access to the waterfront area in Cape Town. Although quite busy, the complex was quiet. Many tourist attractions nearby, or close to tourist office where trips could and were arranged. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to travel around the Cape Town area.

United KingdomLoad shedding restrictions. Check in.
Very smart apartments near waterfront which is prime spot in CT. Some provision made for the load shedding in the apartment but became very restrictive for us using appliances when needed, however I guess that's how it is in self catering accommodation at the moment in SA. Also slightly complicated instructions for check in which may be restrictive if coming by taxi. So for this reason we opted for their airport shuttle. Overall a great place to be.

AustraliaThe double bed mattress was uncomfortable and sagging in the middle, it felt like it had seen better days! Toilet in the ensuite dripped constantly and the shower in the second bedroom could not drain properly. We had requested that both get looked at. The shower was attended too on 3 ocassions and we were assured each time that it was fixed, but it was not, as a result we were left to use one shower. No one attended the toilet at all. We gave up asking after a while. There was no safe for our use in the room as the only safe,were were told, was the owners personal safe and was locked. The glass doors to the ensuite in both bedrooms left no privacy and this was a problem each time someone wanted to use the bathroom.
The apartment was spacious and well furnished. Great outlook over the waterfront with spacious balcony to enjoy the view from. Security was excellent. Front office staff were friendly as were the security staff.
