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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

South AfricaThe bathroom is not enclosed properly... it's just a short wall, which isn't ideal
This was my favourite accommodation on our trip! The apartment was lovely and the pools were great! We also had our own braai area which was nice.

NetherlandsWell the 'retreat' part of the accomodation was not that clear to us. Maybe a tip to explain a little about the welness/spa options!?
We had a great stay, the rooms were lovely, spacious and comfortabel. Pool was really nice and the mountains on the background were nice either.

South AfricaParking facilities were a bit tight for the number of cars parked on the premises. Gate onto the property did not close. Security a bit relaxed for someone from JHB. WiFi a bit slow. TV Remote was missing.
Room was very nice with everything required for self catering. Clean, with decent shower, toilet & vanity. Nice kitchen with fridge and wash basin, etc. Outdoor Braam area should you have required it. Staff were helpful with suggestions of restaurants to eat at and places to visit.

GermanyPersonally don´t like the energy saving lamps they create "cold light" but this is question of taste.
Nice location, quite at the top area of Swellendam. Spacy sleeping rooms. The entire appartment was clean and well equipped. There is a swimming pool you can use parking space next to reception. Load shedding is happining but this is all over ZA.

United KingdomPaid extra for breakfast to be in the fridge, but was a little disappointed with the quality of the produce.
Room was lovely but wasn't the one I'd booked, The hotel moved me to a smaller room than booked, as they had overbooked and had a family staying in the room I had requested. My replacement room was lovely so no really complaint but no apology for the room change would have been nice.

United KingdomThe one swimming pool was quiet whenever we used it but would maybe get busy if all the guests were using it at the same time? The second 'swimming pool' was a little splash pool delightful for cooling your feet off or for small children
Convenient stop on our way to the Garden Route. Close to Marloth Nature Reserve offering scenic walks and trails. Close to town for museum and shops, restaurants and coffee shops. Braai (bbq) facilities (all included) was excellent. Furnishings/ decor were top notch. Recommend stay longer than 1 night.
