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 AfricaI was delayed. They took my laptop and said i damaged a lamp and i had to pay 500 rands. They then threatned to leave my luggage on the road. Ihad to pleasd with them. Now i was late i didnt paxk my things but i had an emwrgnecy. They clamied that i would call police if they tiuched my belongings. Bizzarre behaviour . I was treated like a criminal. Sadly. Maybe its a colour thing. Maybe they were upset. I was wrong in not checking out on time but they didnt help until i begged them. Sadly. I was wrong but they were ruthless . Ive stayed in 30 places. No one has behaved this way with this type of contempt.

SingaporeIt was a cold night, so having a heater would have made the stay even more comfortable. That being said, everything else was wonderful and we truly enjoy our time there.
The room is lovely, and Rheta makes sure you have all the information needed for a wonderful stay. It is well-equiped with a variety of appliances. Plus, the ocean view is simple wonderful.

United StatesThe budget room has no wifi. Which is stated in the description but we missed that part as the overall hotel has wifi. I’m not sure why they haven’t gotten a wifi repeater, it seems like an easy fix…
Lovely staff and the room was nice enough. Stayed in the budget room and it had everything we needed. Pretty close to the penguins.

South AfricaNo mirror in the room near a plug to do my hair. The couch needs a board under the cushions as you sink to the floor. The window needs voil curtains as you are right on the road and need privacy from people walking past. The curtains drawn, makes the room too dark.
Welcoming, neat, clean and tidy. Conveint and beautiful view.
