Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

South AfricaCheaper prices for locals... then we can stay there much more often :)
Breakfast was very nice! Dinner was a bit of a mess up.... We did order 2 x 500grams of fillets and we then received 2 x 300grams instead.... My one fillet was ordered with mash and chips but received roasted veggies instead... Otherwise it was good.

GermanyMost beautiful boutique hotel! Super friendly staff- customer care is always at the highest level The biggest surprise: when we asked for a taxi to the airport at 7 am in the morning , we even the owner was driving us with his own car and didn’t want to accept a charge. Finally he only accepted an extra tip for his team which proofs that he must be an excellent employer and host.

NetherlandsNothing really - we had an amazing stay. It is not inexpensive, but it is worth it.
This is still one of the most pleasant hotels I ever stayed. An oasis in the middle if the city, safe, clean, a nice audience and an amazing staff. We stayed here a number of times before and will definitely be back next time we visit capetown

TaiwanEverything is perfect. I spent 12 days in Cape Town and Garden Route. The last 2 nights I choose to treat myself well. It does worth the price! I really enjoy the massage bathtub in the spa and also lying on the deckchair in personal area.

The decor and style was very nice. It’s the staff however that make this place something special and they all should be credited for how good it is. I only wish we had more staff like this in the UK.

GermanyI didn't like the loction of the room half a flight of stairs down from the pool area, although it had a small private outside area. But the hotel offers to book specific rooms, so next time we know what to look for.
Great, friendly service. Nice rooms, although next time we would book one with a balcony. The location is great for us. Quiet, not far from the sea front and close enough to the waterfront and city.

United KingdomPersonally didn’t love the sea point area but that’s just my opinion.
Amazing staff working here - some of the best I have come across anywhere in the world - couldn’t be more helpful and positive. Room was lovely top floor - showing its age slightly but no big deal. Nice pool area. Attracts a good crowd so other guests were nice to be around.

United KingdomSecond room (13) was a little tired.
We stayed one two different occasions over two weeks spent traveling around SA and cannot speak highly enough. The facilities and staff were exceptional. The pool and poolside facilities are superb and get morning and afternoon sun. Both pools are good sizes and very clean. The breakfasts offered a great mix of hot and cold as well as pastries and fruit salads. Location - Sea Point is gives very quick access via Uber to Camps Bay, Clifton and the fee V and A. We had no trouble at getting Ubers and seeing what the city offers and using The Glen as a base. We would recommend to and definitely return. We had a poolside room on our first stay which was superb.
