How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Bathrooms are tiny and no hot water most days. Basin tap did not work. When I asked to pay in cash rather than credit card the room price doubled

Verified reviewI liked the staff at the front desk. While they spoke limited English, they were helpful and friendly. The location is outstanding; it’s very near to Casbah (Old Town), the coast, and the metro. Breakfast was included (tea, coffee from a machine, and cakes/pastries). There was AC in the room which is a must in the August heat. The room and shower/bathroom were small but sufficient. The building is quite old and it’s nice to experience staying in a classic style hotel. There is an open air sitting area on the rooftop where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful views.
The room and bathroom could’ve been cleaner. The bathroom especially needs a deep clean. There was a leak beside the toilet and cockroaches in the bathroom. The beds were very narrow and short, and not so comfortable. The sheets were quite thin also, which is fine during the summer. The hotel has numerous floors and a winding staircase, and the cafe where breakfast is served is on the first floor. It wouldn’t be a suitable option for anyone who cannot climb stairs. There was an issue with my credit card payment not going through and they sent me a link to pay. Having local currency is critical in Algeria. Communication with the property before I stayed was very challenging as they didn’t respond to most of my messages. I had an issue with the lock on my door as it was stuck and the staff called a locksmith to come within 30 minutes to fix it. However if I had needed to leave it would’ve been a big issue.

Verified reviewI stayed here recently and honestly, I regret it. The only good thing was the view from the window – that’s it.
The receptionist was extremely rude and unprofessional. I felt pressured to pay cash in euros, or else be heavily overcharged in dinars. I was told the room would cost around 9,000 DZD, but I ended up paying 13,000 DZD just because I paid in cash. That’s unacceptable. It really seems like they intentionally block their card payment system to force people into paying cash and exploit the exchange rate. The room was very small, dirty, and definitely not suitable for three people. The towels were old and had a terrible smell, and the shower and toilet were dirty. The bathroom light was on a motion sensor, so you had to constantly move just to keep the light on — very annoying. There were only a few TV channels via NileSat, nothing else. Overall, the stay was uncomfortable, overpriced, and disappointing.

Verified reviewAfric Hotel is a traditional old hotel near Casbah, which you can visit by walking. It has a very nice old time atmosphere with beautiful floral tiled spiral staircase and terrace with fantastic view of the city. Rooms are not very big and the facilities are not new, but the staff here is very nice and helpful with everything.

Location absolutely perfect, and the real highlight is the rooftop terrace, which offers an amazing view of the city and is the perfect place to relax
Wifi not brilliant in some parts of the hotel, but can move around and make it work. Bathroom quite small.

Verified reviewWe loved our Stay at Hotel Afric - such a beautiful building, lovely architecture, fabulous staircase...and the owner and staff did everything they could to make our stay a great one! The breakfast was extensive (mostly bread and pastries, but delicious) - and the breakfast guy works so hard to make sure you are happy. The owner, Sofiane, went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our room and surroundings. Check out the rooftop! Amazing views, and a lovely chill set up to relax in. The Location in the casbah cannot be beat - so close to everything, so much atmosphere and just felt so special. Our home in Algiers! Thank you so much to all the staff, for everything
