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 AfricaI did not like that the initial room we got wasn't the one I saw on the pictures. I booked a ground floor unit, they initially gave us one on the third floor. And although the same setting it did not quite feel and had the same aesthetic as the one we saw advertised. But again, the reservation manager came through for us. So thankful.
I loved the reception. The reservation manager was absolutely stunning, so polite, accomodative, engaging and willing to listen to our requests, and issues that we had had. She was never at one time off or gave us an attitude. She really does love what she does, in fact I'd go as far as saying the stuff is very friendly and willing to work. I'm so grateful for her, wish I caught her name.

BotswanaThe ensuite bathroom was a bit small, a couple of maintenance issues which were attended to only after repeated reporting, towels were a bit small & always 1 short, building located on a main road so quite noisy in the mornings, and DSTV package very limited - maybe just compliment with availability of Netflix/other streaming services.
Functional space, room heaters in winter were very welcome, comfy beds, centrally located, great value for money.

MozambiqueUpon arrival, the hotel was facing a water shortage that lasted two days, making it nearly impossible to shower. However, the staff informed us promptly and resolved the issue within the promised timeframe. After that, everything was great.
Beautiful and family-friendly place with a well-maintained pool and great leisure area with a barbecue. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there's a small bar near reception for drinks.

South AfricaThe receptionists do not value safety or privacy as they willingly gave out information about our stay and room number. I decided to book Max apartments as an escape from an ex husband and the concierge staff were extremely open with my information such as the duration of my stay and my room number. This was very concerning and I had to make arrangements at other establishments due to the negligence of the staff.

United Arab EmiratesThey had some renovations going on, luckily it didn't impact us all that much, but we do feel like it shouldn't have happened when they had guests. The TVs did not work, so thank goodness we brought our own stuff to watch.
