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 shower curtain in bath is a negative. It is not efficient because curtain are blowing against your body which prevent a nice shower. Carpets in room needs a good clean or upgrade.
Breakfast was very good. Safe parking at R 85 worth it.

GhanaThe check-in was not the best. I arrived at Fountains Hotel at 9 am in the morning and had to pay extra money to move in early.. I think the check-in should open at any given time without any restrictions or pay extra money before allowing you to move in
I love their human relations, the facilities, and the atmosphere

South AfricaI found the room I was assigned to be overpriced. It was situated at the rear of the hotel and was adjacent to a very noisy part. The carpets was filthy and poorly maintained. The shower was also not functioning properly. Fortunately, it was only a one-night stay.
I appreciated the hotel's convenient proximity to my workplace and their prompt accommodation despite the short notice. Even when I arrived late in the evening, they graciously provided me with supper upon request.

Mauritius- Request for a late check-out, I totally understand if the hotel is full, it is subject to availability but if the hotel not busy at at all or few arrivals or no arrival in the same room, would have appreciated a Free Late check out as a gesture until like 2pm.
- Stayed stay Fountains Hotel on a few occasions. - The nice upgrade from a One Bedroom Apartment to a Two Bedroom Apartment on the 11th Foor with a nice biew - Breakfast was good with different option. - The location in CBD and walking distance to Long Street and other places.

United KingdomI found the staff somewhat rude on arrival. We were a tired family with small kids and some friendliness would have gone a long way. We really struggled to find the car park, some instructions in the welcome email that was sent out before we arrived would have helped. Also the car park charges were more expensive than what was stated in the welcome email! Overall I was really looking forward to the hotel and just found myself disappointed. Not sure I'd go out my way to stay here again.
Well located

South AfricaAlthough there were water-saving measures in place, it was disappointing to see that when I returned to my room at the end of the day, all the lights had been left on by the housekeeping staff. Perhaps they need training. If it's 'procedure' for them to leave the lights on, then perhaps this needs to be re-looked by management. It was also disappointing that there was only creamers and no milk (not nice with tea!).
It was good to see measures in place to conserve water.

South AfricaThe back entrance, which is supposedly the entrance where the reception is situated, it is dodge on that side but the front of the hotel is fine I guess. The breakfast options for the buffet can be elevated a little bit more. For instance, they had a potato and onion mix which was served, this didn't make sense for me. I'll give their breakfast offering a 7/10.
Cleanliness of the rooms. Ease of access to transportation.

The air-con need to be upgraded and requires remote handsets. The hotel need a demarcated location inside the hotel close to bar area to allow those guests who do smoke peace and safety
