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.).

ZimbabweThe suits for the gents at reception looked very worn out, the ladies skirts in the restaurant looked too tight and uncomfortable. I think the hotel can do better in this department as I got the impression that they don't really care for the welfare of its staff.
I liked the location, its close to the ferries, bus station, there are taxis and tuk tuks right outside. The food was good, there was a wide variety and it tasted good. The staff in the restaurants were friendly and food came on time.

OmanWe were first put in a room that had a defective Ac thermostat, and the room temperature couldn't be adjusted. However after lodging a strong complaint, we were ungraded to a see view room without extra cost which was quite nice.
Excellent City location. The harbour and sea view from our 21st floor was amazing.

TanzaniaMy concern is in the room service for morning breakfast, especially for club Rotana category, i had to pay 60,000 -TZS room service fee, for just a glass of juice and soup, which was unnecessary. I believe Rotana can do better , same on price negotiation for corporate customers on special rate. Workers should treat visitors as customers and not as they do them favors. I DIDNT LIKE THIS AT ALL
I like ROTANA, the bathrooms are clean and well designed, towels are white and clean, food is nice except chefs needs to be more flexible for food on demand for self service. I am a regular customer, mostly recommend to most of my visitors.

United KingdomThe pool closes quiet early and since it was hot weather when we visited, we wanted to unwind and cool off which was not possible
The service is exceptional. It gives you a proper 5 star experience. From beautiful rooms to friendly staff, Rotana is the place to stay. A few of the staff members that went over and above service are Ramadan at the restaurant, Valentine, Awadhi, Emmanuel, Najma, Norbert. They made me and my family feel like VIP 😀
