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 view from our room was on ground floor overlooking parking area where staff & construction vehicles parked and moved around The view was straight into other buildings too. Had to keep our curtains closed for most of our stay. I also didnt like the guest who rudely rushed a female staff member because he wanted his omelette done faster. I stood right next to him. We never waited longer than 5min she was super fast in the breakfast rush.
Exceptional service from all hotel staff. Especially the breakfast team who checks in regularly to top up your coffee and make sure your meal is satisfactory even offered me almond milk in my cappuccino due to lactose intolerance. Jay-Jay's 5 star service with a smile was of a very high standard. The best by far.

The location is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Good value for money, but it is a slightly older hotel.

South Africaour plan was to watch the springboks at the hotel, but there wasn't enough space in the bar area to watch the game, and the rooms don't have the channel. but it was ok.
The check in process was great, the room was great value for money, my Bed was AMAZING, the breakfast was delicious the BOOTLEGGER COFFEE yum! even with a full construction site outside it did not interfere with our stay at all, we didn't even hear or see the workers or the building "noise"

AustraliaEverything worked well for us from the check in progress, room cleanliness, hotel location to friendly and professional staff, in particular the staff in guest experience centre and reception. A big shout out to Asiphe at Reception who helped us heaps when our airport transfer did not turn up on time and the staff at Guest Experience desk (the dark hair lady with a low bun, sorry I did not find out her name!) who helped me with sorting out the refund, they had been amazing and went above and beyond in assisting us.

South AfricaThe pool was under construction - however we were informed of the construction before we arrived, was just a pity we couldnt access that area of the hotel as I hear its quite the attraction.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helped plan a surprise for me which was lovely. The breakfast was also good, lots of options and the hot drink selection was great! The rooms were comfortable and clean.
