How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewRooms were sizeable, staff were very pleasant, the hotel is clean and even when there was a blockage in one of the bathroom the maintenance man was very prompt to fix it. Location of the hotel is excellent because you could go for a jog or walk as you wish. There are also many eateries and restaurants nearby all within walking distance. Hotel is not far from Ikeja mall and markets for shopping instead of facing the tedious traffic to go to the Island. Went with my family and looking forward to go next year again.
The swimming pool was out of order and the car park is too small for that hotel though the security staff manages it excellently but the hotel management should bear in mind that customers would pass on their excellent experience at this hotel making growth inevitable which would warrant a bigger car park. They should consider doing airport transfers. I also believe that they should have more than one elevator.
Dear Franklyn, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the comfort of our rooms, the friendliness of our staff, and the cleanliness of our facilities. We’re also glad our prompt maintenance team could quickly resolve the bathroom issue, and that our location added convenience and enjoyment to your stay. We sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the swimming pool, parking space, airport transfers, and the need for an additional elevator. Your suggestions are extremely valuable to us as we continue to improve our services and facilities. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our management team for consideration in our ongoing development plans. It was our pleasure to host you and your family, and we are especially delighted to know you plan to return next year. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even more enjoyable stay. Warm regards, Management The Safron Hotel

Verified reviewThe rooms were very comfortable and clean, and staff was attentive to your needs. Every single person greeted you when you walked by them. They were all so respectful.
The pool was out of service while we were there, and so was the workout facility. I was super disappointed we didn't get to access these amenities while we stayed there for ten nights.
