Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AfricaStill want to have the old fashioned soap bar instead of the liquid bottles. Pet peeve. Not a show stopper. Understand why they do it. Not airconditioned but had a great fan
The hotel is wonderfully situated on the Clarens Square close to all the attractions & eateries. Great check with very helpful receptionist who went out of her way to help with reserved parking at a very busy time for Clarens. Great room, clean & comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

South AfricaWhen we arrived on Friday evening , there was a private function at the Pizza restaurant (which i fully understand is not in any way related to this accommodation ). The noise was deafening and thankfully by 10.30pm the party had ended . Unfortunately the super loud staff who preferred to shout to each other instead of talking resulted in even more frustration by cleaning up the venue. Tables were scrapped along floors , shouting and laughing non stop (staff) On Saturday morning , the noise started up again with noisy restaurant staff scrapping tables and shouting from corner to corner waking my partner and i up . This Pizza restaurant is the main reason i would not return here and i am confident other visitors must have experienced this If you want peace and quiet, be warned of this noisy restaurant downstairs
The venue itself is very well located and you just need to walk out of the door and you are in the center of town. The unit has everything you need for a pleasant stay and the views from the unit are beautiful . The venue has wonderful charm and it is very nice establishment but unfortunately the lively pizza restaurant underneath detracts from any peace and quiet . The lady in reception was amazing and such lovely people working here

South Africait was above a very noisy restaurant! the owner of the restaurant was having a one man party and when it was time to close his staff was not concerned about how noisy they where while packing up the chairs and screaming to each other!
I loved that it was in the middle of town! did not have to move my car!
