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.).

I booked at Safron when my flight from Lagos was cancelled and little else at a decent price point was available nearby on a Saturday night. Beautiful construction, very clean, comfy bed, but a few quirks that made me think staff weren't thoroughly trained (although they were quite kind). Other little oddities like only one elevator which was both small and slow, my 'executive' room was sparsely furnished with lots of empty space, etc. Still, not bad overall and I was grateful to land somewhere this pleasant when my travel plans suddenly changed.

I was supposed to get a room with a balcony per what booking.com had on the page, I didn't get that. To regulate the AC temperature you would have to get up from your bed, there was no AC remote.
The hotel staff were nice, the food was great.

Only negative was the air-con in my room made a loud noise when on even in quiet mode. Struggled to sleep so i had to turn it off.
Great luxurious hotel in a perfect mainland location. Only stayed one night but wish i stayed longer. I loved the décor and you get a real luxury feel. The hotel buffet was amazing and exceeded my expectations. One of the best I've ever had including in Europe & USA. I used the hotel pool in the morning which was nice. I really enjoy my stay.

The restaurant is the only area they fall short. Most of the items on the menu are not available. The food is subpar. Do not I repeat do not order the steak! Prepare to wait a long time before you receive your meal. I stayed at the Park Inn by Radisson prior to checking into Safron and everything I ordered on the menu was delicious. They definitely need another elevator. To have one tiny elevator to accommodate a hotel of that size seemed odd to me.
The hotel is beautiful and located in a safe area.The rooftop has a great view and vibe. My room was spacious with an amazing view.

There was no mirror in the room which I found quite strange especially for a lady who would like to have a look at themselves before stepping out. The only mirror available is in the wash room. And not a full mirror .
The hospitality and friendliness of the staff was amazing. The staff are very professional in their dealings with customers. The manager was wonderful.
