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 AfricaBeautiful view, comfortable stay, perfect finishing touches in the rooms topped with great reception, house keeping, bartenders and waitresses. We always looked forward to coming down to restaurant for a filling, tasty breakfast fit for a king and going up to the roof top bar for some great company, a light meal and a drink or 2. Definitely coming back for a longer stay!

South AfricaWe had issues with the drainage of the shower as well as the TV not switching on/off from the couch. You had to stand at the tv for it to work.
The view from our room, AMAZING. Our room was quite spacious and very clean. The staff were all very welcoming and so friendly. We were able to book excursions through recommendations from the staff and we managed to do quad biking and Sandwich Harbour tour which is both a MUST. The Salt Restaurant downstairs. The food and drinks were lovely. We had breakfast there in the morning as well as dinner and they never disappointed. The best part of this hotel is really it's people. They were so warm. Because it was Easter they even organised an Easter Hunt for the kids. My little one enjoyed it!

Namibiathe check out time is too early and the kitchen closes early for dinner.
The view was exceptional. The ocean view on one side, and a view of the pool and dessert on the other side. The room far surpassed my expectation. Breakfast was good, however, I would have preferred a buffet. The options were limited

NamibiaToo far from Swakop city centre, we ended up driving back and forth almost every day (sometimes twice…). Hotel also seemed overwhelmed during the high season, which resulted in towels / bathmats, toilet paper etc not being replaced in a timely fashion
Beachfront location, sizeable and stylish as well as well equipped rooms, exceptionally friendly restaurant staff

What did I like about the property? I loooooved everything! The room was big and spacious, we arrived late and were attending to promptly. The lady at the reception who welcomed us was amazing! She made sure we ordered dinner just before the restaurant closed. The place was very clean and is exactly like in the pictures. The sunset from here is breathtaking. Loved this place.

South AfricaBreakfast was only at the SALT restaurant and it gets busy. Service was really really bad but could be due to festive season. However, the restaurant needs to cater for festive season hotel guests.
Amazing Ocean views from the all the rooms. Rooms are nice and spacious. The balcony in the room is an added advantage. Even though the rooms have good ventilation, aircon or fan would be good for hot summers.
