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.).

Big disappointment was when, having requested the desk order us a taxi, a car arrives which was not a registered taxi and the driver charged almost double the going rate for the short trip to the town (150 Rand -- all subsequent taxi journeys were 80 Rand) A 4 star hotel should not being placing guests in such a position

South AfricaWe struggled with our Netflix, eventually logged in, but didn't work. Then, we were unable to log out. However, no biggie. Just used our laptops.
The staff were absolutely amazing! Everybody was very accommodating and helpful. We were checking out very early in the morning, and the manager went above and beyond for us. I believe his name is daniel. The night before, we were made a breakfast pack for our trip. This included three different fruits, a granola, yogurt and fruit cup, 2 freshly made sandwiches as well as a fruit juice. We were very impressed and must say some of the reviews are a little harsh. The balconies overlook beautiful views, and the bathrooms included a shower and full bath tub. What a treat, we ended off each of our stays off with a lovely hot bath.

South AfricaThe staff members at reception handed a key to us to find our room no escorting. The reception closes at night so incase emergency there is help There is no service for a place that's called a hotel everything happens at the reception between 8-7 pm They open so late I was unable to get towels for the morning beach visit There is no transport you need to rent a car in order to enjoy your visit no Bolt no Uber and maxi taxis charge at face value They old TVs so it's hard to navigate the android box it's slow and nerve wrecking The cleaners give new shampoo or body wash after cleaning They don't change Towels, they dry them instead There's no whale watching you can barely see the ocean from the property There is no parking it's a hill and not safe, no carports so having a rental at your disposal is such a huge risk!!!
The location is quite central close enough to all excussions on our iternary and the chef catered to our needs and our waiter (male) he was such a delightful to interact with Theres a petrol station (she'll) with steers and Debonairs Car Rental right in the petrol station

ChileScheduled power outage was not informed, so we recommend you asking for the schedule upon arrival. Though it's advertised as hotel & spa, the spa is more of an outsourced service they provide in the hotel, so it would only work in local business hours (9 to 5). Bathroom was kind of dark (not strong light).
Good location and open space. Staff was very nice and polite. Breakfast was very good, though we were charged for our coffees.

South AfricaThe room was great, loved the bath and shower option. The TV was a bit of a struggle, Can only do steaming and we couldn't connect to Netflix, even with our own data. There was some technical issues with the TV with regards to connecting to our own Netflix. The breakfast was good, and we enjoyed the view from the restaurant. There is not Uber or Bolt, and we struggled to find a cab or taxi or shuttle service to drive us to town.

South AfricaThe food was terrible. At dinner on the first night we ordered spicey chicken livers which came as chicken livers with chopped tomato, peppers and onion. Our daughter's chicken strips were inedible and dry. At breakfast I was shocked to see one tub of butter which was left open and all guest used with one knife. I thought was highly unhygienic especially living in COVID times. Our room's shower door didn't close an the toilet seat was worn. We never got a replenishment of the shower gels and coffee station on day 2. It seems like the management is going overboard with trying to save costs.
Great location with beautiful views of the ocean. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, especially the restaurant staff.

Zimbabwe》For an old couple, our room was too far from the parking lot and dining area; walking up and down the hill can be a challenge. Unfortunately for us, the continuous rains did not allow us to visit the beaches.
1. Breakfast was good but same menu for 3 days could be tidious. 2. The staff was excellent. Of particular note were NELSON and PINDI who went out of their way to make customers feel welcome and attended to.
