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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 AfricaThe neighborhood is sadly deteriorating, and the municipality is letting Kimberley down. This is not a showstopper to experience the old ways.
The ambience is everything! It is old school and historic. The old mining town Gentlemen's Club shines through. The restaurant is good without breaking the budget. There is plenty of secure parking!

South AfricaThe carpets and decor need a refresh - would be great to have a contemporary touch alongside the historic elements; also the surrounding area along Currey Street needs a clean up, part of the street is used as a toilet (presumably by homeless people) which is quite disgusting, the local municipality should be encouraged to carry out proper street cleaning in the vicinity of the club
It’s a wonderful period property with loads of atmosphere in a very central location

United KingdomLocated in CBD isn’t the most attractive setting. While the dinner menu was wholesome I felt it was more akin to ‘bar food’ rather than a restaurant. While the website refers to a ‘fine dining’ experience I presume this is for other more formal occasions rather than the routine day-to-day set up that I experienced.
What a fascinating place - almost like stepping back in time! Packed with artefacts from a bygone era and full of history. Very comfortable bedroom and spotlessly clean.

United KingdomThey should lean more into the incredible heritage here (there was a signed photo of Queen Elizabeth II behind a coat stand which was a shame). There are few staff about and they seemed to be running between the bar and the reception to cover both a lot.
The history of the property is exceptional. Beautifully laid out. Good bar and restaurant. The staff were very accomodating.

United KingdomThe room was fine although could have had some drinking water and a tumbler available. Nice balcony and bathroom facilities.
I think both staff we met were very friendly and helpful. The reception manager/barman/waiter (boxer in spare time) was an exceptionally good host. No doubt a very valued member of staff. The history of the hotel is so interesting and hopefully will be nurtured by generations to come. The evening meal was delicious - we had lamb.
