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.).

NamibiaBreakfast was good. Airport is located not too far from the hotel and what makes it nice is the transfer is already included in the price. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The room has a aircon which was a life saver.

TanzaniaIt is fine for people in transit but not for long term stays. It is in an area that does not have anything to offer (no restaurants, or sights to see.) It is a small place on a small plot. But it only took 5 minutes to get to the airport which is what we were looking for so we were very satisfied.
Free shuttle service was a big plus as well as the location. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was what we expected. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

United StatesMosquitos, a lot of them in our room. No 'real' lock in the bedroom windows - we were on first floor and it looked like someone was using the area outside for water buckets. Also on first floor can get a bit loud with other people checking in or out.
You get what you need. A hotel right near the airport which offers pick up and drop off. Very convenient for resting between long transits. No elevator so a bit struggle if you have many bags. Staff very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner and it was really good (local menu). Price very good for the amount of food served. We skipped breakfast because of our very early flight. AC worked great in the room.

United KingdomThe bed was comfortable, room was very clean but the shower wasn't working, there is no lift and is second floor although they porter carry the suitcases still challenging as anything you need it serve on ground floor. Consider the price it's fairly as it's not expensive, but somewhere for one night and breakfast was not great but enjoyable.

United KingdomThe only major disadvantage of this hotel is that it was near a bar or something that played loud music late into the evening but maybe that was because I stayed on a Saturday night. Also, given that the hotel was close to the airport you could hear planes take off/land loudly but the convenience of being so close to the airport outweighed this inconvenience for me as I was only staying for one night and catching a 7:00am flight the next morning. Some may find the bed a bit hard but I find a lot of hotel beds are like this so it didn't bother me. The bathroom didn't have an enclosed shower space which again didn't bother me but may bother others. The glass window above the door meant that the room couldn't be pitch black (as the corridor light would come in) but I was still able to sleep with it.
Staff was very nice, the bed was comfortable, the ensuite toilet was fine, the rooftop terrace was nice, the 24h free airport shuttle was very helpful.
