Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe booked a 2 bedroom appartment we were initially given one because apparently they have the two bedroom to someone else I was travelling with young children, my children were horrified to see a naked picture of a woman on the wall , I felt humiliated and angry that my children were exposed to this . We were later given the option of 2 lower cost appartment . The toilet was brown inside as in the picture . Considering the amount of money we paid it was disappointing

South AfricaThe glass "ceiling window/floor" was cracked making it extremely risky from the bedroom level. Did noy enjoy the outdoor balcony as I didn't want to risk walking across the glass "ceiling window/floor"

United StatesUnique ambiance in a boutique hotel feel. We enjoyed the unusual decor. The air conditioning unit in the second room we stayed in (different stays) was not working well, although the stay was comfortable. The shower design does not include a shower door or curtain, which made it challenging to keep the water from splashing onto the bathroom floor.

South AfricaThe Garden Suites could do with a little bit of maintenance. The suite also had a leaking air conditioner. The wi-fi connection in the Garden Suites was also very weak.
Well located boutique hotel. The Garden Suites are very spacious with a tranquil garden view.

United KingdomThe service in the restaurant was not satisfactory. I was constantly having to ask for things. There were a lot if staff standing around doing nothing. There was/is a nail sticking out of the arm of my chair which I I damaged my blouse on. The chair was changed but was moved to another table. The next morning the same chair was offered for me to sit on. This chair should not be operational but the staff seemed not to care. I am a returning guest and I usually get a great service but this stay was not so good . Maybe you have new staff
I love its ambiance, the grounds, swimming pool and comfortable beds.

BotswanaMaintenance issues: Our toilet got clogged, and the shower didn't drain on first use. Some basic details in the room that could have been picked up with attentive regular checks: nails sticking out of floor panels, sharp edges to glass table tops, unobservable low steps to bathroom that cause toe bumps. Service: Kitchen breakfast service was a bit too slow - we had to set our table ourselves, and some items ordered took very long. Dinner service was much better.
Loved the decor - really nice!! Well located in Lilongwe. The gym is also very, very well equipped. Loved it. Ample parking. Pretty garden. Rooms also nicely set up. Dinner and drinks menu is good. The whole setup is placid, upmarket, and comfortable. The booking, reservation, and transfer process was very smooth!

TurkeyThe hotel offered us a room upgrade but upgraded(?) room I stayed was not very convenient due to kitchen and tv were in the entry room and bathroom and bed was on the first floor. With exception of kitchen table, there was no sufficient space/table for doing the work in the room.
Restaurant was clean and nice and many good food choices were available for breakfast and dinner.
