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.).

AustraliaThe public could access even the room levels. We had people coming to the room levels just to take photos and videos even when they were not guests at the hotel. Friday and weekends were the most noisy days. We could hear music from the bar even at midnight, such an inconvenience.
The food was delicious. There were a few changes of the breakfast buffet everyday with lots of Malawian local delicacies. The hotel is centrally located in the city with beautiful views from our room on level 7. Robert made us great lattes, and Trinity, a server was very warm and friendly. Always knew our daily coffee orders.

United StatesThe service at the restaurant Zaffron is excruciatingly slow. It took an hour and half for our food to arrive. Food was not very good. They seem to have no butter. At dinner they served bread rolls but when asked for butter said there is none. Same story for breakfast. There was also a very noisy karaoke party that went on till late at night. The previous night they had hammering/construction going on.
Beautiful well appointed rooms in a very safe location right in the heart of downtown.

RwandaHotel shuttle did not pick me up from the airport ... I had to get a cab. Served coffee was not as good as ordered coffee, so I opted to order coffee (no extra cost) with my breakfast everyday. Cleaners could be a little noisy in the morning, talking to each other in the corridors.
Breakfast was really good, with multiple options of hot and cold options. Food at the indoor restaurant was really good as well. Location was also great. Staff were very friendly and tried to be helpful and accommodate various requests.

United KingdomWhilst the staff are friendly the check in process seems slow. Be warned, if you are booking a deluxe room with two double beds through booking.com the beds are actually large singles, NOT doubles. We thought the room would be big enough for 3 people but it wasn’t. The hotel added a single camp style bed into the room for free.
Located in the centre of Blantyre. Rooms are comfortable and the double room beds are HUGE and very comfortable. Staff are super friendly and happy to help. Food is very good although the price is higher given this is probably one of the poshest hotels in the city.
