Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesJust minor gripes. wifi was weak and spotty at times at the dorm room i was at. Not a problem in the common areas though. Also there are only a few electrical sockets in the dorm room. Wasn’t a problem when i was there, but it could be a problem if the dorm is full.
Loved this place! Felt so cozy and homey. Lots of open spaces and common areas, there’s also a pool where guests can cool off. Kitchen facilities were right at the dorm room which was so convenient. There’s a stove, microwave, and fridge that guests could use. The location is great too. Sure, it’s not at the town center but it’s in a safe, quiet residential area. If you need food, there’s a SPAR just 20 minutes away on foot, as well as a couple of restaurants. The staff could help you order food for delivery too. If you need to go to the town center, it’s easy to book a cab from here. It’s easy to book tours. Dave helped me book the perfect tour and found people I could join to cut down expenses cause i was traveling solo. The staff were great! They were all friendly and helpful. Dave and Bella were the perfect hosts, made me feel right at home! Wish i could have stayed longer!

South AfricaIt needs to be advertised in the website clearly that breakfast is not included in the price you pay to stay there. I don't think it should be advertised as a B&B if breakfast is not included in the price. And because I had not budgeted to spend extra on meals I did not have any meals at the Inn.
Pool and rooms were always clean. Gate service was great.

My experience was amazing! A friend recommended me Old Vic and I couldn’t have had a best place to start my vacation! They helped me even before I arrive and I could plan the transfer from de airport and the tours with peacefully. Their property is beautiful! The room was excellent, very comfortable and made me feel at home. I could wake up hearing the birds. I booked the tours with Dave and had the best experiences.
