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.).

PortugalAmazing staff! So much attention to detail. Great amenities, including the gym. Breakfast with a lot of options and with attentive staff. Ive only seen this level of service in the best hotels in Dubai. Incredible I must say. The attention to the client is flawless! I had no specific episode where I was surprised, its just how everyone from reception to the concierge and the staff at breakfast. Everyone knows who you are, what you need and provides exactly that. Brutal!

South AfricaThe only issue that was an irritation was housekeeping. Seems we missed the advice about getting our room made up. On 2 occasions we found our room not made up at 15:00. As soon as reception was notified it was attended to.
Everything was good. Friendly staff! Awesome service . I particularly enjoyed The masala chai tea😋

The ambience, facilities and location were absolutely exceptional. What made the stay most memorable however was the entire breakfast team’s above and beyond service, as well as all other departments. The standout however was Taariq and his entire concierge team who made the stay feel like we were welcomed home. I recommend this hotel to all thinking about staying - one would be lucky to be looked after by Taariq and his team.

United KingdomSlight sewage smell coming off from the bathroom. Didn't bother me that much, and I didn't complain because I just couldn't be bothered.
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the concierge and catering team remembered me by name, which instantly made me feel valued and at ease—a first for me and incredibly impressive. The breakfast selection was delightful, and the location couldn’t be more convenient for exploring the city and tours. Every team member I interacted with, from the front desk to the kitchen, provided exceptional service. My room was spacious, comfortable, and offered a breathtaking view of Table Mountain. I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable and enjoyable stay!

PhilippinesMy hotel of choice in Cape Town. Amazing staff and outstanding guest experience! The Taj truly values its guests, and you can feel it in the culture of the hotel and the way every staff member reflects that. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful service, everything was exceptional. Special shout-out to Rita at the Front Desk and Jacobs at the door — both went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Well done to the whole team! The hotel is also located very close to the top spots: Cathedral, Slave Lodge, Bo Kaap. Great restaurants in the hotel (Bombay Brasserie is top notch), but also around it so you'll never run out of options. There is a coffeeshop just outside where tour guides offer free historic walk 4x a day.
