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 AfricaI didn't like how small the bathroom was. The door is very narrow when you walk in.
I enjoyed the view. The room is big, the bed comfortable and the guest house is close to shops and restaurants. It's great if you're looking for an affordable place to stay in the Drakensberg.

South AfricaThe only thing that didn't work effectively was the mini oven. The rest was better than expected :)
Valita was super warm and very welcoming when I arrived. She shared tips and suggestions of what to do in the area which was great! The space, room and kitchen were really well equipped with everything that I needed. Really clever use of space in the room. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was spacious, air con was great to heat up the cool evenings, seating was available in 4 different areas, the braai area and the outside seating was comfortable and super clean. The entire area was cleaned daily which was awesome. Staff were super friendly and always gets with a smile. And it was great to receive daily visits from the furry friends too! Staying here allowed me the freedom to think, meditate, read and relax as needed.

South AfricaWe had to leave early due to my wife becoming ill. Hosts were very understanding
At last - a self catering unit that is fully equipped, not like some others I have stayed at (Zebra Lodge) which claim to be self catering, but only have a kettle and a few cups.

South AfricaThe main bed at Room 2 was to hard, two nights I couldn't sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and sit on the couch, just to relax my body. Till we left never saw the host, the other thing is because we came at night. The security is another thing, you just have to pray to God to protect you and the family.
The place is beautiful, inside and out.

South AfricaWe arrived 10mins later than our indicated at 19:10 due to bad weather and traffic. After several attempts to phone the number provided for keys we couldn't get through. No attempt was made by the property to contact us or make sure of our arrival. We eventually found the room was left open and slept over for the night.

South AfricaThere was only a small soap in the bathroom and no shampoos. The wifi connection was way beyond poor. And the water kettle was very dirty and smelled of eggs. The lights were very dim ☹ though we spent one night but I trully believe that the owner would have done everything to her best if we told her. She was fantastic.
The location was awesome. Quite a beautiful view and well maintained. A welcome drink and ofcourse the small toffees . Towels and everything were clean. The bed was super awesome super comfy. Children can sleep nicely.
