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 was a day when the room was not cleaned. Robert was sometimes off when you ask him something, seemed like when ever we asked him something it was too much to ask. Breakfast was nice but same thing everyday and sometime we could taste the bread was not fresh even though it was toasted. No variety. They should consider changing somethings especially for guests with a longer stay. Need to reconsider the fridge in the wardrobe as it doesn’t get cold when doors are closed. We struggled with parking as other guests would park in the middle of the yard as if they are the only guests and we couldn’t drive in. We were the 1st guests and stayed for a week and when other guest came a night a two they would occupy the space and we had to park in the street. Would prefer another stay to better experience the place
The room was very specious, big bed, sufficient balcony, double basin and the pool area was chilled even though we did not get to swim due to the weather. Walking distance to Victoria road and the beach. Luke was very friendly and attended to all our needs.

We were delayed for check in, and they were available for late check in at no additional cost. We also had to leave a vehicle with them for a safe parking after check out while doing other excursions and it was well taken care of. Place is within walking distance to Camps Bay beach front and an avalanche of restaurants, bars and all sorts of night life places. The place is extaticly pleasing, bathroom is modern and open and gives a wow Look, the bed is Comfortable, they have a tea station in the room and a tugged away... Place has sufficient security, remote controlled entrances, breakfast is for free, unfortunately we could not have it as we left very early.

SwedenI felt that they were not prepared for us. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and the balcony was a mess. I understand it rained before we arrived, but surely they could have brought in the pillows from outside. The soap in the room was also not refilled. The staff I felt was also not very professional. When they ask me for my breakfast order they totally ignored my wife. Meaning she got beacon for breakfast when she is a vegetarian?!
Location was great. Very nice views and the inside of our room was great. WiFi also worked well.

United KingdomIt isn’t luxury like the ad would suggest. It’s a simple, clean basic accommodation. We had Harry Potter room under the stairs which was dark and the window/doors faced straight on the driveway/entrance ground level so there was no privacy to open your curtains and walk around as you like. In addition, you had to lock the room to have security at night. Which was obviously a fire hazard, so we left the room unlocked which then made us vulnerable should a break in have occurred. If they want to promote a luxury accommodation, they need to think about decor - It’s unstylised. The fridge which we found in the wardrobe only offered sparkling water on the first night. No still, and nothing thereafter. And lastly we had to request the cushions put outside on the chairs and beach towels to take to the beach, which seemed as if it was an unusual ask to them. Small things like this would be a given in luxury accommodation and things we’ve noticed come naturally in other accommodation we’ve stayed in so far on this trip. Nice, fine, but not luxury.
Great location. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast.

United KingdomThe fridge in the bedroom is in. an unvented wardrobe. Instead of keeping food, insulin etc cold the top part of the fridge got very warm when the wardrobe doors were closed. Once I left the doors open the fridge worked well. I mentioned this to Luca who said he would ensure it was sorted. It really needs proper ventilation as if my wife's insulin had got too warm it would have destroyed it. Fortunately I managed to establish the situation before any problems but during our stay had to leave the doors open.
Close to the centre of Camps Bay and facilities
