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 are 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 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 room I rented was a 10 bed dormitorio so not a lot of privacy for someone like me who really like own space
Good value for money considering I only paid R576 for 3 days and 3 nights. To my surprise it was very close to the place I went to attend the conference to (My purpose of visiting and booking the venue in the first place). Two or three minutes away by a walk. The bathroom was exceptional. The kitchen was spacious and excellent. The was also another game room I will call it with the pool table, very awesome but I didn't enter the room.

NamibiaSomeone left garden refuse right on the path next to my vehicle, making it difficult to walk there.
The price did not match my expectations, because I got a lot more than I bargained for!! I am so thankful for the affordable price and I got a free upgrade to a very nice room and they were able to accommodate my daughter as well, at a very good rate.

GermanyWe got no introduction which bathroom to use and the house is somewhat build intricately and a little bit dark. We were there in off season and were most of the time alone.
Very friendly staff, comfortable beds and safe feeling area really close to the sea. Very nice outdoor tables and places within the ground, so you never feel narrowed.

NamibiaThe 6-bed dorm room has a very tiny bathroom for 6 people. If you don't mind staying with 9 roomies, the 10-bed room is exceptionally spacious and very comfortable.

NamibiaJudging by the condition of the bathroom mats, I was not going to take any chances in the shower. Thankfully, I travel with mini cleaning supplies as I could thus use the bath instead of the shower. I had asked housekeeping for a fresh set to which she replied that, that was the only set they had available.
The location is perfect, literally a stones through away from the beach and a few minutes’ walk to Swakopmunds CBD. The layout and design of the property is something I really liked, warm and inviting while being modern at the same time. A great place to hang around while in between activities.
