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.).

Fabulous breakfast! Well located; no safety/security concerns during the day, nor in the evening as long as you are attentive and stay together. Our hosts were excellent and very helpful with suggestions and responsive to our needs.

AustraliaFantastic Hotel. Wonderful staff, beautiful room, very comfy bed and great location. The two main team members I met, Chris and Michel just went above and beyond as hosts. Based on info I gave before arriving, Chris gave me a set of great recommendations for climbing Table Mountain, running and swimming in the area. The location was perfect with an easy safe walk to restaurants. I had the most wonderfully relaxing stay.

United KingdomEverything about our stay at Rouge on Rose was great. The staff and owners were fantastic, they made our stay very easy and helped us out with queries and provided us helpful information. The area itself is nice and safe, and we walked around no problem. The rooms were very good sizes, and the included breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here, and I know I will when I stay in Cape Town again.

United StatesHonestly, the ONLY thing I can think of that I didn't love was the fact that it seemed the A/C device shut off each night for a couple hours. This resulted in me waking up and feeling pretty warm. The first night I thought we just didn't have the temp set correctly, but the last night I realized it just shut off for a while. It could also be a part of the load-shedding that is done in Cape Town, but we never did ask the owners about it.
The breakfast was amazing! Over the course of our 3 breakfasts, we tried most everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. The french toast was about the best we had ever had, and the coffee was outstanding. The best part was the lovely conversations we had with the hotel staff each day, as they were all so friendly and welcoming.
