Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NigeriaPrice: though I got value for every money spent
We enjoyed our stay at Sofitel, the hotel was all we expected and more. We went as a family, and got connecting rooms for the children, Breakfast was 10/10. We enjoyed the cart ride, the pool, the kids zone and of course the club.

SwedenChecking in and out. The service by the doormen, reception and concierge area is not five star.
Friendly staff throughout. Mederic hosted both my dinner and stay at the pool, took the time to talk about Benin which I appreciated. Room matched my expectation. Masseuse at the spa was excellent and very nice, thank you!

Canada-
We had an absolutely perfect stay at this hotel! Its location near the airport, combined with stunning sea views, made it both convenient and relaxing. The pool was fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and a great spot to unwind. The staff were outstanding—welcoming, always smiling, and incredibly helpful. A special thank you to Carol and Ragu, who went above and beyond to ensure we had delicious vegan meals prepared throughout our stay. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. The rooms were very comfortable, with cozy beds that guaranteed a great night’s sleep. Everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations. We can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!

NigeriaThe hotel is marketed as a 5 star but it doesn’t have 5 star qualities. The food wasn’t great, there were limited options. The staff weren’t very helpful in getting us quality food. In fact, my family and I had to starve on some nights because there were limited food options. Nabila (the Experience Manager) was very helpful, professional and amiable. Kadija at the front desk was very helpful, courteous and pleasant. Elosh (the concierge) was also very helpful. All the Spa staff were very pleasant and amiable.
It’s a new hotel so it was clean and fresh

United KingdomIt felt a little bit disorganised as some people arriving for check in were getting welcome drinks and others didn't (I didn't). The bar and restaurant are excessively expensive though the food is good. The mattress topper on my bed was quite uncomfortable and the wifi in my room was unstable which tamed my experience a little bit.
Beautiful hotel and rooms, it's really been built to the highest standards.

United StatesI did not like the food it was tasteless and for a Hotel that is 5 stars the food should be excellent. I am from America and I ordered the hamburger it tasted nothing like a burger horrible. I have stayed at the Golden Tulip Le Diplomate and the food is much better than at Sofitel. Golden Tulip has a wide variety on there menu unlike Sofitel very limited. I asked for a pizza and was told i could not get it . And this is a 5 star hotel for the price i should be able to order anything. I wanted and the portion size was very small a hamburger and fries for 20 USD . My wife ordered food also and she could not eat it we wasted 81 USD on her meal . The food has a long way to go to be considered a 5 star meal. I have no problem paying for food as long as its good.
I like the style of the hotel and the staff was excellent. They helped me with all of my needs.
