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.).

TaiwanThe only complain is about broken light in closet area in my room - it is hard to organize your wardrobe without proper light. Additionally, because of regular blackouts in the country, during the night some of electric equipment are making noise when the electricity is switched on, be prepared for that, i assume the guesthouse cannot do anything for it. I little disappointed with the outside patio of my room as it faces a wall, but other outside areas of the house are great.
Nice place in walking distance from main area of Rosebank. I waked to there. Do not afraid to get there from airport with Gautrain with luggage. I took the Gautrain bus from Rosebank station for one stop - the stop is 40 meters from the guesthouse. Area is safe, i took a lot of preparation but honestly, the area is OK. I walk everyday to Rosebank station and from there i continued my activities. Walking distance from many art galleries and good coffee shops. Welcoming hosts.

FinlandWe were traveling with a friend, who stayed in a different room, and had some electrical problems. Problem was solved next morning, but it was slightly stressful when happened. Hope the wiring will be solved as this is otherwise a great place to stay in Joburg!
We had a very quiet room with a floor heating. It was warm enough not to use it, but it's a good option to have for colder days :) The door of our room opened to the garden, which was very very nice, especially in the mornings when we could have our coffee in the garden and observe small birds being busy around us. The location was also very convenient for us and felt very safe (with secure parking). Breakfast was very good, made fresh, and with taking into account our special requests. Samantha was most hospitable and accommodating! :)

South AfricaThe carpet in the unit was little tired and perhaps let down the otherwise very comfortable room.
Breakfast was well prepared and served by very cheerful ladies. We liked the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in the unit, so could heat a ready made meal. And there was a good selection of tv channels available. The room had easy access to a lovely patio and peaceful garden with plenty of bird life. Guesthouse is conveniently situated so getting to CBD was easy.

South AfricaTerrible loadshedding in JHB, thus having a B&B without power backup (eg. solar) was an annoyance. If I had been a businessman travelling for work, I would not have appreciated the lack of uninterrupted power supply on site.
Very good proximity to our family in and around The Parks in JHB, and to Rosebank Mall.

ItalyThe sink was not working properly and the water didn't go down.
Our room was nice and spacious, the breakfast was good. Overall the place was very safe, however, it kind of feels like you are in a bunker with the electric fence and the big walls surrounding the property. I'm not complaining as I understand it's necessary, but be prepared.
