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 AfricaThe t.v. didn't work. No wi-fi, so couldnt use my own NETFLIX. Hopefully a temp glitsch that is sorted by now.
The staff was superb, attentive, friendly, and helpful. I loved the twin room I stayed in. It was cosy but spacious, and the bathroom was heaven. Everything was just where you needed it. And they even had plant-based milk for me. What a find!

United KingdomThe only not so good thing was that the taps in the sink either did not let any water through at all (one of the sinks) or the flow was very poor. So, we used tha bath tap for washing hands and faces, if not the shower.
We had a very pleasant week. The staff were courteous and kind and most helpful. The room was beautiful, the bed very comfortable, the breakfasts superb.

South AfricaA real gem in the heart of the wonder-filled Kalk Bay. The ambience of this magnificent old lady is worth a visit, plan an extra day just to take it all in!! Clive could not have been a more warm, welcoming host. The scents throughout are memorable; the only thing missing from the rooftop pool was more time!

United KingdomNo staff around when we checked out - we are both in our 80s and would have welcomed some help with bringing baggage down from our room.
Beautifully furnished and decorated house with excellent public rooms. General absence of staff gave the feeling of being in a private house rather than a hotel. Good pool area on the upper level.

United KingdomThe room we were initially given was small, with no sitting area and no outlook with 5 steps up to the bathroom. However, having raised our concerns with the manager, she was able to relocate us to a much better room, enabling us to enjoy our stay to the full.
Location, helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast, spacious accommodation in the guest areas. Reasonable pool and decking space. Following a room move the accommodation and Outlook were excellent.
