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.).

South AfricaThe dust around the dorm-room house, it would have been nice if it was covered by grass or outside tiling.
It was clean and has large open space for people to sit and chill especially around the dorm house area. It’s just simply lovely and cosy.

NamibiaThe pillows could use an upgrade as they were a little too worn out.
It’s in a safe area and it’s not far from the mall and there are food stores nearby for a quick bite.

South AfricaThe direction when using public transport is an issue, you must help with google maps/gps. The amount wasn't as it appeared on bookings.com. The matress wasn't too comfortable or maybe its because it was my first time and only time in the dorms, maybe if I slept another it night I might have experienced something different...
The staff was really helpful and friendly. The place was really clean and neat. I loved the books, there's variety of selections and there's plenty of space around to sit and relax whether inside or outside. I loved the decor.

United StatesKitchen broken has to use outside burners not good. Fix your stove inside geeeez. Getting in out gate was annoying they have to push a button vs getting your own code. And during winter stop opening and leaving the doors wide open, the staff shows up bundled up opens doors props then open in the mornings why would you do that we guests don’t want a cold place to wake up and move around! Think beyond yourself
Staff very helpful and nice. Open grounds gated plenty of space.

NamibiaThe room was very comfortable, and the bathroom included both a bathtub and a shower. I stayed in Swakopmund and really enjoyed the space. For the cold winter nights, I would suggest providing hot water bottles, they’re more eco-friendly and would help reduce energy consumption, especially since the air-conditioner’s heating function wasn’t very effective and blew cold air during the night. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind.

DenmarkThe kitchen is big enough, but there's a somewhat limited amount of utensils available. Do expect some car noise on a Saturday night in certain rooms, if you have the window open, but the wind may drown it out. A car is handy, if you want to go to the city center.
Friendly and welcoming staff, the place is very clean, spacious grounds, not too busy, when I was there. A good place to relax before and after your flight.

CanadaWould be far without a car. Room was next to the road but wasn't really an issue.
If you don't have a car (I did) this place can be a bit more difficult, but they are very good at communicating to setup transport for you and have a free shuttle to town every day. This place truly is more of a guesthouse rather than a hotel, ample parking, big yard with barbecue and a pool and a bar with a nice kitchen and living room. Dorm beds were solid and would not wobble, each with tons of outlets and a small light with curtain. Good storage with a lockable bin beneath the bed as well. Pretty solid room by dorm standards.

South AfricaThere's room for improvement in terms of staff introducing new visitors in the sharing rooms. Instead of just invading the space without courtesy to those who already are in the room. Greet people and inform them that you are bringing some company in the room.
