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...).

NamibiaThe location is not great and as a tourist I would not walk around that area. The staff very friendly but seemed to lack some training, reception was good, breakfast staff however did not seem to let the guests having breakfast stop them from having loud private conversations in the middle of the restaurant.

South AfricaConstruction ongoing in the area and hotel has little soundproofing from external noises. Lots of sheet metal clanging all day (sounds like dumpsters being manhandled). Also lots of rowdy pedestrian noise late at night and very early morrning. TV news channels kept dropping/freezing resulting in having to switch between CNN and BBC News channels every 2-5 minutes (often both not available)
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Public apaces and rooms are clean and comfortable.

JordanNoise. not the fault of the hotel, but the location is surrounded by construction work. the sounds from rowdy people on the street at very early hours of the morning also meant that in my 7 nights there, I didn't have one full night's sleep. The entrance to the hotel is on a closed-off "square" with random individuals loitering around and making it uncomfortable to walk in and out, especially at night.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and rooms quite spacious. everything was kept clean and in good condition.

South AfricaThe TV is so far from the bed and the size of a computer screen. TVs are so cheap, put in a bigger one or take it out completely. The shower head is very low eveb my wife had to bend down her head, stove without pans, whatbis the purpose of that in a hotel room. Restuarant food is a let down.like a cheap caffee with staff that has no idea about cullenary arts kr service. My opinion is this place is bought by directors.on a board that have never stayed in their property. A beautiful.disaster
Location is great and the property is beautifully designed but not well executed

South AfricaThe breakfast was monotonous with very little variety and sometimes some food items would end or become cold before end of the breakfast. The notepad and pen were not provided at first. The TV was playing with difficulty and ordinary local channels would play and sometimes not and we ended up forgetting that it exists. The carpets were having bad marks that made one feel guilty that one might be held responsible for the marks since no one bothered to explain the situation. We were taken for a ride by the initial driver who picked us initially from the airport and charged us exorbitant prices between hotel and other areas, claiming to be using Uber/Bolt prices. There was no room service or indication how one can get restaurant outside the hotel hours which end at 20h30.
The attractions and more especially those that arranged pick up from the hotel. Tour guide was exceptional and very professional till the end. The security and some staff were always willing to assist at the hotel. The hotel is closer to certain amenities like V&A Waterfront where we were to catch the transportation to places of attraction.

South Africa1. The carpets are old and musty. Resulted in serious allergy triggers. 2. The noise levels outside the hotel at night(drunkards singing and screaming)and then the early morning construction of neighbouring building. 3. Dirty entrance and the office park feels unsafe. 4. I didn't sleep on both nights and had to checkout earlier.

SwedenThere was one or two cockroaches in my room, both dead but still. Also not the best upkeep of the building as there seemed to be some leaks going on in the room and outside. The breakfast was ok, although could have been more varied, but the restaurant made something for me to eat while I was there, provided I told them in advance. I'm vegan so I would have preferred if there was oatghurt/soyghurt or some alternative to milk in the restaurant so I could eat oats for breakfast Just oats or fruit is a little sad in my opinion. I only had dinner in the restaurant twice, first time was excellent, second time was more bland, although that was mainly becuase the pizza doesn't seem to taste much. I did appreciate them trying though, I might be hoping for too much after the glorious first dinner experience. To sleep on your back you need flatter pillows so I think my stay would have been better had I had that. However the rest of the bed was really nice so it will probably work better if you sleep on the side.
The staff was friendly and happy to help with arranging transport to and from the hotel and knowledgeable. Also offered to change my room when I found out there was a leak. I liked the room however so I didn't want to switch rooms. The room was quiet (although it was off season so that might be a contributing factor). Spacious room with both shower and bath. The location is close to Long Street/Kloof street and the Cape Town station as well as many of the museums so it's easy to walk there.

Ivory CoastThe hotel needs a little refresh, it's not as neat and modern as the pictures show. It is close to the conference center which is convenient, but the square where it's located is not very clean and frankly doesn't inspire safety, especially at night. It definitely doesn't deserve 4 stars as advertised.
