Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 wouldn't have changed anything. It isn't for you if you're looking for fancy hotel-style accommodation. But it is perfect for comfort, convenience, peace and quiet, and appreciation of the beauty of Elgin
The accommodation is situated away from the main road, giving us the peace and quiet we were looking for on a weekend escape. Yet all of the activities we were looking to do in the Elgin area were within a 15 minutes drive. The host's were incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing us to utilize the property without any long list of rules and regulations, as well as assisting with out Wifi / signal concerns immediately. We felt very secure with ample security measures at our disposal, but we never found them necessary. The area of Elgin is beautiful and made for a very relaxing stay.

South AfricaThe water supply to the cottages relies on a pump which cuts out during load shedding. However, plenty of water was supplied in containers to use when the power was off.
Cottages were well equipped with an indoor fire to keep them warm and plenty of wood was supplied. We were also impressed by the measures taken to handle load shedding. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Although the weather was cold, we managed to find a warm braai area to cook in the evenings.

GermanyThe cottages are located inside an operating apple plantation and the owner are lovely people, always helpful and easy to contact all the time. We staid at Cottage "Panorama" with an outside sitting area / deck attached including braii area. The cottage has two bed rooms with very comfortable beds. The livng room has a sitting area with TV and kitchen included and all needed equipment is available. WLAN is perfectly strong and flash lights, to be independent during load shedding, are also available. Everything was spotless clean!! This accom is highly recommendable and we will definitely be back again soon.

South AfricaCan’t think of anything
Beautiful property and the cottage is surrounded by the apple orchards. You are allowed to walk on the farm and enjoy the beautiful surrounds. The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed - even separate drinking water in a big container! I love the small details and the fact that we got a small jar of jam as a welcome gift… and it was delicious! The fireplace was probably the best part for us because it was a cold weekend, and we didn’t miss our TV at all. The separate braai area outside is also great, although we didn’t utilize it as much.

We had a lovely stay with fresh apples from the orchard, complementary wood for the indoor fireplace, lovely bed linen and a massive shower in the bathroom. Check in was a breeze despite arriving very late at night and the owners were delightful. Definitely coming back.
