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):
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 hotel parking bays are very tight for a SUV. I've battled with the parking.
The check-in process was pleasant. Have to compliment them on the quality and size of the towels. I'm traveling a lot and smaller things like the quality of towels makes a huge difference.

UgandaThe shower curtain in the bathtub could be better to avoid water all over the floor after a shower. A floor towel was provided to mitigate this, which was appreciated.
The room was comfortable, and I appreciated the radiator and ability to keep the temperature to my liking.

AustraliaWe enjoyed our stay at the Fountains Hotel which is in an excellent location for walking around the Cape Town. A small supermarket is located next door and a larger supermarket, Checkers is close by. The George Street Mall was close by and walking tours of Cape Town were close by. The hotel is located across the road from Cape Town railway station. It is a pleasant 20 minute walk to the waterfront district. There was a pool which we didn't use because we visited in winter. The staff were friendly and obliging. The breakfast buffet was very good.

South AfricaThe curtains don't close all the way so the light comes into the room. It is hard to sleep. The bathroom piles also make a noise at night making it hard to have peaceful rest. The television light is a problem as well as the lights from outside. It shines in your face.
I liked the size of the room. I liked the shower. The water was hot.

South AfricaThe booking I made through Booking.com said it was a double room but at the hotel they received a single room booking. Not cool. I had to change rooms. Thanks to the great staff at Fountains Hotel. This is not the first time I have such challenges with Booking.com and accommodation. In East London they could not find a reservation I had made through Booking.com. A real inconvenience being so far away from home. So I had stand at reception area for a long time.
