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.).

Saudi ArabiaAn exceptional stay — clean, comfortable, great location, and outstanding staff. I only wished for more variety in the food.
My stay at this hotel was exceptional! ✨ The hotel is very clean, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The facilities are great and provide everything a guest might need. The location is excellent and close to important places. The staff are professional, friendly, and always welcoming. Honestly, it was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and I highly recommend it.

South AfricaThe only little thing would possibly be an extractor fan in the bathroom? Just for the very cold nights. Oh, and the fact that we had to leave!!!!!
The breakfasts were amazing. What a fabulous spread - wish we could have stayed longer ... and the cooked breakfasts were so well-presented. Loved the bloody Mary station and the Mimosas. We had dinner at Amelia's - superb! Had the cheese souffle - out of this world! The bobotie was really good, too and the portions were really generous. Good value for money! And our room was kept spotless. Such a treat to be spoilt with the complimentary Jakkalsvlei Pinotage and Pierre Jordaan Brut. The location and views are top notch, and we really enjoyed the heated pool... even though the weather was cooler. Even used the gym facilities - more than adequate. Loved the lounging areas, well -appointed and the decor was absolutely unique. Even managed to do some crocheting! A beautiful collaboration of art pieces and decor. To be honest, we have never stayed in accommodation like this, where such attention to luxury and delicious food is the norm. We were totally spoilt. Best and most memorable wedding anniversary getaway for us!

United KingdomThis hotel is spectacular. Incredible 5* star property, with high end interiors and location. The staff were also exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location and view are incredible. It’s very simple to walk to the shops (during the day) or the beach. The hotel is so well equipped with multiple pools, a small gym, bar, restaurant and terrace. It’s incredibly stylish interior. Our room was so good, with a very large bathroom, walk in wardrobe and sofa in the bedroom. The staff were so helpful, at meal time and with advice for activities to do. We are in the restaurant for dinner twice, and all the dishes were good, particularly the steak. Breakfast was also good, with a large buffet and an a la carte menu of cooked options. We also used the spa for a 90 min couples massage that was very very good.
