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 AfricaMy family was frustrated on arrival the room was i horrible, and i even took pictures: smelly room, rusted utensils and a broken utensil tray and dirty, pots have dried old pap, wine glass is replaced with plastic cup, showers are wet and mouldy, bedding not changed they have unsightly stains on them , the dish washer is mouldy and smells horrible, it didnt have the dishwasher tablets it runs on plain water. we found live cockroaches in the kitchen cabinet, the fridge is smelling, cabinets have loose hinges, several walls cracked, roof is mouldy and stained, curtain have not been properly hung and they are falling, the dehumidifier have not been changed coz they are full with water.The cleaner only came the following day andblamed the agent and said she was not told to report anything she found , she seem not sure how to do her job because it was her first time to see the rusted utensils and dirty glasses and i showed her cocroaches.They bought new bedding the follwing day and i had to scrub showers with little hand andy bleach left before my family can use them. I was told to cancel the room on Booking.com in order to get another room but there were no rooms available. There was no cleaning service after the 2nd day, the step ladder used to fix curtains was left on our doorstep until departure. The reception could only help to call the agent after seeing the pictures of the mess and in shock. Another guest from another room retaliated by bringing the dust bins full of trash at the reception out of anger too. The service at the suits is really unacceptable and they apologises with a box of chocolates and flowers. The staff at security gates are always confused as to what to do each time we go out or coming back. The make us wait whilst busy asking each other what to do.
Zimbali surroundings, the view and pools are super beautiful. Shopping mall close by. At least there is shuttle to drive us to and from the pool. The restaurant staff and by the pool side and gates are friendly
