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.).

ZimbabweI feel that more needs to be done to maintain the place. Though the vintage style of the hotel is a nice pick, the furniture looks old and is not being maintained to still have a polished and new look despite being vintage pieces. The tips of the poles supporting the thatched roof were covered with plastic wrapping and cell tape- I’m not sure why…. The curtains were dirty and the aircon and conventional heater that was on the floor were both not working. We arrived at night so we were too tired to go back to the reception to ask for help as it was a bit of a walk outside considering that it was cold and windy - there are no phones in the rooms so this could possibly help in the future. Thank God we had tea and coffee amenities in the room so that helped to keep us warm- these utilities need to be upgraded too.
It’s right by the beachfront making it a great place to stay for those who would love to explore the waterfront especially for sunset and sunrise walks. It has a vintage style to it and an outdoor pool. The staff were really friendly, professional and welcoming. There is good security (parking spaces are right by the street side so it can look a bit daunting). I especially loved the shower design, it has ample space for two (or more 😂), the shower head is quite big and the water was really hot! Even though the breakfast was a la carte, it was good and served hot. Overall an okay experience for an overnight stay.

PolandAlthough breakfast was included, we were additionally charged for ordering a fresh omelet as it wasn't in the buffet. There was a limited wine list, so we had to order more expensive options than we previously wanted. Some of the la carte meals weren't available. Also... and please treat it as friendly advice... the staff shouldn't have complained to guests about the salary level and problems they were personally struggling with. We didn't feel comfortable about it.
This hotel is designed impressively in an old African style. It's located by the beach where flamingos visit Walvis Bay so you can admire these pink birds right from the terrace, however, it's a bit far from the city center, shops, and other restaurants. The rooms are jaw-dropping, the family room has a mezzanine and everyone who has kids knows that that ladder is those little creatures' obsession. There is a nice and well-maintained patio with a swimming pool and resting area. The restaurant offers various la carte options, drinks, wine, and cocktails.

United KingdomThe rooms were a little dated. But in general matched the cost.
Rooms are a bit dated. But the location and value for money is what made this a good stay. Directly across the road is the pink flamingo colony. And 5 minute drive around the point is the pink lagoon. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

United Kingdomboth at lunch and dinner there were work parties in the bar; the deluxe rooms right next to the bar (and the female loo) so v v v noisy; these rooms are also on the main road so large salt trucks rumble past at all hours. I moved to standard room at the back of the property. in conclusion, don’t stay in the deluxe room; you won’t get much sleep

South AfricaNot much, other than there was no official door to our bathroom, but there was a separate toilet rite outside out door, so we managed.
Everything from the staff, to our room facing the lagoon to the breakfast was all just what we needed. The staff were always available, ready to help with whatever we needed ie, tours, taxis, recommendations etc. We felt so well loved.
