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.).

Strode House is the most welcoming home and you are at home as soon as you set foot inside. The views are spectacular, the team that run everything in the back ground are fantastic.

South AfricaIt did not have an outdoor braai and there was no outdoor furniture to be able to sit as a group. Just a pity the gas for geysers had not been checked before we booked in as the cold showers were not very welcome in the cod weather. Also, from a woman’s perspective, there was a shortage of mirrors to be able to do hair. Packing space was very limited especially in the one double room. It also would have been good to have been able to have dry towels everyday, which was not possible to hang outside due to weather conditions. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.
Beautiful. Good location.

South AfricaThe kitchen is a little tired and the braai tongs were broken and no scissors. There was no hot water during load shedding and due to 4 hours being off it was a problem after being out all day.
A beautiful home. The house was very spacious with stunning views and very clean. A beautiful maintained garden. Loved all the decor, pictures and furniture. The bedrooms were very comfortable and so nice we all had our own en suite. The pool table was wonderful. The swimming pool was clean although we didn't use it or the jacuzzi.

United KingdomThe kitchen is in need of renovation. We could not use the pool or jacuzzi as they were not clean. The house sleeps 10 people but there would not be enough cups / glasses etc if you had that many people. There are only 2 Sun loungers & no other outside furniture which is a real shame as the grounds are so lovely. A sofa & dining table would be great. Owner did say he would source some more Sun loungers but was unable to find any. There is an emphasis on being quiet because of the neighbours which is entirely understandable- somewhat ironic though when the neighbours dogs bark incessantly! No hot water during load shedding.
Lovely spacious house, bedrooms were good size & all en-suite. The gardens were well kept. Good value for money. Laundry service available which is very handy when travelling. We throughly enjoyed our stay . After hotel / guest rooms nice to have so much space. Would stay again.

United KingdomIn July it was cold and we arrived to the windows wide open, no heating and thin duvets. The owner says that he has now bought a mobile gas heater and bought thick duvets for the 2 main rooms. Some of the house e.g.kitchen units need a coat of paint. There are warnings about not making too much noise, a decibel meter, quiet hours and closure of the hot tub and pool in the evening. Take an eyemask as the white blinds aren't light proof.
Fabulous views from this big airy light house with a lovely pool and hot tub. Easy parking. A really fun open plan layout with a pool table. White styling with artworks showing beautiful wild animal photographs plus film stars.

IsraelThis is one of the best vacations homes we have ever been in. The house itself is very very spacious, very well equipped(including a pool, a hot tub, a full sized pool table and darts ). The check in was very easy. The rooms are very big, great beds and the bathrooms are awesome. In addition, the host did his very best to help. Starting with great recommendation on local stores, cafe's and supermarkets, and help with everything we asked. I highly recommend this house. Superb value for money.
