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.).

United StatesIt took 18 minutes to get hot water for a shower (every night, we timed it) . The fake balcony was full of dead birds and bird poop. The glass was also covered with bird poop.
Comfortable bed, good WiFi and AC. Friendly staff and good breakfast. There is a mall a short block away.

ZimbabweEven when I told them I am leaving at 5:30 in the morning and they had written my name down they objected to me having breakfast which I had paid for. I ended up just having a coffee at the airport so that I don't spoil my day.
The breakfast was decent and the place was clean and comfortable . The reception attended to my request quickly which was very helpful.

ZimbabweCons: Check-in time: I had to wait for a long time to be checked in despite having booked days early.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Protea Hotel by Marriott Gaborone Masa Square, and I must say that it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Located in the heart of Gaborone, the hotel offers easy access to the city's main attractions, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers. Accommodation: The rooms at Protea Hotel by Marriott Masa Square are modern, spacious, and tastefully decorated. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the luxurious amenities provided, including a comfortable bed, flat-screen TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The bathroom was also well-appointed, with a separate shower and bathtub. Dining: The hotel's restaurant serves a delicious breakfast buffet, with a wide range of options to suit all tastes. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the food and the friendly service from the staff. The hotel also has a bar and lounge area, which is perfect for relaxing with a drink or catching up on work. Amenities: The hotel offers a range of amenities, including a fitness center, outdoor pool, and conference facilities. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the outdoor pool is a great place to relax and soak up the sun. Service: The staff at Protea Hotel by Marriott Masa Square were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. From the front desk to the housekeeping team, everyone was professional and courteous, making my stay truly enjoyable. Location: The hotel is located in the Masa Square complex, which offers a range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. The hotel is also within walking distance of the city center, making it easy to explore Gaborone's main attractions. Overall: Overall, I would highly recommend Protea Hotel by Marriott Gaborone Masa Square to anyone looking for a luxurious and convenient stay in Gaborone.

South AfricaThere's nothing to worry about.
The area is a good position and easy to locate. Walking to the mall is a bonus , I like it most. The staff also help to make the occasion special by arranging some goodies. I think the hospitality team needs some creative ideas to arrange goodies in the room and on the bed.

BotswanaThe bathroom shower glass partition allowed water to leak out on the basin and on the floor and the sheer curtains were too long and looked dirty. It was also too noisy outside.
I loved the fact that the conference room was in the hotel and it was very convenient and close to the places I wanted to visit. The room was also clean.

NigeriaBreakfast was rich though for the week we were there it was the same meals everyday. Good thing you could mix differently on some days. Overall, enjoyed and looked forward to breakfast. The last night of my stay, I think the cleaner got some paper towels clogged in the basin while washing up. So, the drain was not letting water flow out properly. This was a bit annoying and should have been checked. But, to be honest, I didn't fuss too much about this as the whole room and restroom was properly/thoroughly cleaned daily.
Staff were amazing. Nametso and Babedi at the front desk and Stephans in the restaurant. The slim lady who made eggs at breakfast was pleasant too. Rooms were clean. Location was secure. There was a general warm culture in the hotel overall. I highly recommend.
