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 AfricaI didn’t like the service we received at the hotel main restaurant. The kitchen staff seemed overwhelmed because they kept forgetting to prepare our meal orders both for dinner and breakfast. We only got our meals after we stood up to make a follow up with the kitchen staff
I liked the direct hotel staff friendliness.

GermanyI have been to 63 countries. The staff reception here and one other place in Cape Town, South Africa were tied for the absolutely best and most friendly staff at reception of any place in the world! Every time we walked in from shopping or eating or walking about we were recognized and genuinely welcomed. I repeat, GENUINELY welcomed! The staff spoke to us in various locations with various recommendations. We were treated better than family! The location was fantastic. We slept with the balcony door open to listen to the waves as we slept. The ocean view was well worth the price. Parking was easy and free. Security at the hotel and the parking lot was superb. The luggage handler was a consummate professional both coming and leaving. The breakfast kitchen staff were super friendly and accomodating. If there is one place I had to live in Namibia it would be Swakopmund! If there was one hotel for me to stay in at Swakopmund it would be this hotel! We walked to safe shopping. We walked to safe restaurants. According to the local merchants there is a huge shoplifting problem there so may stores “buzz” you to let you in. I maintained situational awareness and no one ever tried to pickpocket us or steal a purse.

United StatesThis place is expensive, but if don't mind spending some money-it is worth it.
This hotel and its staff are wonderful. The linens and towels are top quality. The room was beautifully decorated and had a great view of the water. The restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast was next level. I don't actually eat in the morning, but I did here. They had vegetables and fruit that could be blended for a fresh juice, incredible pastries, meats and cheeses, pancakes, cereal--everything. The location was central and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, bakeries, and museums. Parking was easy and free.

We loved the location of the hotel, it was perfect for a couple of nights stopover for some R&R. It was comfortable, clean and convenient in terms of distance from the local shops and restaurants/ beer houses. Also, right on the beach! Ps. The staff were super friendly!
