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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

ZambiaThe property is aging and needs a facelift, but we still enjoy it. It reminds us of the bygone era and is caused for reminiscing. We also did not like that There were no pool towels available and it took the staff a long time to just decide to give us normal towels when we were quite cold from being in the water. But at least in the end they did help.
We love the food. All of the meals are excellent. The staff is very helpful. The location is great near the airport.

MozambiqueCould have given more info about the hotel and its facilities in the room. Also a bit of guidance about breakfast queues would be useful. We did not allow enough time and therefore ended up having a cold breakfast which was a bit disappointing.
The evening buffet was great and excellent value for money, the staff were helpful and the shuttle bus between the hotel and the airport worked efficiently.

AustraliaLike many hotels in Africa, things are beginning to look a little tired and could do with a freshen up. This is just and observation.
My wife and I find Southern Sun OR Tambo International Airport a very comfortable place to spend a layover between flights. Typically we have just arrived from Australia enroute to elsewhere in Africa. Normally there is an overnight on the way out and the return journey. Southern Sun OR Tambo is convenient, easily accessed via their shuttle from the airport. The food in the restaurant is excellent and the service is normally very good. This is my third journey using Southern Sun as my layover accommodation and we will continue to patronize this hotel.

ZimbabweThere's a bit of a walk to the shuttle area which isn't always clearly labelled, but it is a short journey which is a relief after a long week of travelling. We didn't get any assistance with luggage up to our room and the lady at front desk didn't make it clear whether we could leave our bags for porters or not. There was only one bottle of water for two people in the room and so that was a little odd. The key card failed to open the door both times we tried to enter after the first time. We overheard the cleaning staff assuming we were supposed to check out but we had asked and been granted a late check out, so we did feel a little rushed at the end. Breakfast was interesting, not all the staff were attentive, and we were set at a table that didn't have all the cutlery and it was never brought after we were seated. I ended up not getting eggs because the staff there were not alert to waiting people as they served others or talked amongst themselves. My husband also had to wait and the chef there didn't speak to him. The second set of curtains nearly fell off the hooks when I tried to close it.
The bed was very comfortable and it was a nice stop over because of proximity to the airport.
