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 AfricaLoad shedding was bad.. we couldn't get any reception and the wifi was not working.. we had a load shedding session early hours of the morning, and the generators were not functional for about 2 hours, we couldn't bath, no aircorn so the suite was rather stuffy.. we couldn't even open the doors as there were scaffolding right outside with guys painting.. no privacy whatsoever.. very disappointing..
Fireroom was the best part of our stay.

South AfricaI arrived and was directed to room 217. On entering the room smelt so strongly of chemicals that I had to step outside. Eventually went back to reception to say I could not stay as could not get smell to dissipate. They called the agent who moved me to 519. Room was clean but tired. Linen threadbare I n bed, no mattress or pillow protector s, cupboard doors broken, ironing board broken, hair dryer but no adaptor, no soap - not worth the price and a big let down considering it’s position.

South AfricaThe unit smelled mouldy, musty and muggy. I have a lung and chest health problem and I battled to breathe in the Unit especially the lounge. I was told that I was moved to a bigger, better unit with a Seaview which was definitely not the case. In fact, the unit opened out to a view of the surrounding bush.
Everything else about Capital Zimbali was excellent....the food especially at Fireroom, the beauty of Zimbali at large, the location and overall ambiance of Capital Zimbali.... but this does not include Zimbali Suite 113 which I was allocated, instead of Suite 217. The cleaners only washed the dishes. They did not set and dress the bed or do anything else in the bathroom. In fact, we had to ask for the complimentary Shampoo on the first day. The TV was problematic but the agent sorted it out eventually.
