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.).

United KingdomWhilst there was a fridge in the room it could not be plugged in or opened so unusable. I think the hotel would benefit from removing the fridge and stating in their room descriptions that there is no minibar/fridge. They would refrigerate medicines/baby food etc for you but it’s very inconvenient not to have your items handy in the room. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would have been nice.
Peaceful location with a wonderful view from the balcony. Large clean room.

United StatesVery spacious room with two (!) bathrooms, and unbearable views of the garden and lake. We were on the ground floor and loved being able to stroll right out our patio door to the lake, or into the center of town. We also loved the well-equipped exercise room and the full-sized lap pool! The included breakfast is varied and delicious, and the cozy restaurant (dining room overlooking the lake) serves an excellent dinner. We enjoyed our first dinner there so much we went back the next night! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The decor is dated as other guests have noted — particularly the carpet which is badly in need of replacing. But overall this is a wonderful, charming hotel and a great value for the money.

United KingdomThe hotel is overdue an update. It is tired and dated. Original booking was for a twin room. We arrived to a double. After much waiting the hotel finally added an additional bed. This meant the room was cramped. It would have been nice to have direct access to the lake.
Hotel is well located on the lake with easy access to the lake and town. Great view. Service was good to correct an issue with the booking arrangement.

South AfricaHotel du Grand Lac Excelsior opens onto the lake. You can sit on the beautiful balcony of your oom overlooking the lake, and when you are too hot, take the elevator to the groundfloor in your costume, and within 15 meters you are in the lake. So as far is location this is amazing. It’s also a little bit away from the center but with free bus rides anywhere in the region and bus stop 200 meters from the hotel, it’s perfect. There were a few notes I would like to add, for a 4 star hotel, I would expect a good quality mattress. I had back ache after 3 nights with a very concave mattress in the room sadly, but I did not feel like I wanted to complain and spoil my own time, so I endured it. Minor issues in our room, basin did not drain quickly. Shower head kept flopping so you had to hold it up to get the shower on your head. These can be fixed easily. Each room has aircon but the aircon machine is outside on the balcony and this is noisy. For first 2 nights I could not understand the loud humming sound outside our room even though the lake appeared so still and quiet. I then discovered it was the neighbouring room aircon, as we had not used our room aircon yet. I’m not sure how this could be upgraded but it was a bit disturbing. There were also people smoking on the balcony in rooms below us and the smoke filtered into the room whilst we were trying to sleep. I tried to call reception but could not get through, might be my user error on my part. We absolutely loved our stay here though. The breakfast was a lovely spread, options for vegetarian and vegan. I would not return if the beds had not been upgraded, but if they were upgraded, I would return in a flash. The location is truly spectacular.
