How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Some kitchen appliances like the microwave and stove was not working
Hello Dr Dawid Thank you for taking the time to review. We can only apologise for the microwave broken button. It has since been replaced. The Smeg stove does have a knack to operating it. The info is in the house manual - sorry that you didnt reach out for assistance, Candice would have gladly guided you. Kind regards FVH Team

Nothing really. The dishwasher didn’t work but that was a minor inconvenience at most.
Hello Dossi Thanks for the review, we do appreciate it. Sorry about the dishwasher, it has been replaced since your stay. Maybe an excuse to visit us again... Kind regards FVH

Verified reviewEverything that we needed for our stay was in the house and not difficult to find. The house is beautiful, well situated, the rooms are lovely and beds incredibly comfortable. We absolutely loved our time staying at this cosy home in the heart of Franschhoek.
Some indoor firewood would have been a nice touch but fortunately the shops are a stones throw away.
Hello Duncan. Many thanks for the great review. We will look into supplying wood but, as you say, the shops are very close by. Kind regards FVH

Verified reviewSuch a cozy home, perfect for a girl's weekend away in winter. Central to a lot of activities and convenience stores. The fireplace kept the whole house warm!
We found a mouse in the house on the first night 🙈. The wifi also isn't the best in upstairs area
Hello Amy Oh dear, sorry about the mouse - we will follow up with verminator traps, and hope it was an isolated incidence. The wifi has not yet been reported as problematic upstairs, we will run a test to check the strength/ speed and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Kind regards FVH

Verified reviewThe house is very well appointed. It's location is close enough to town to walk, but also not in the middle of town where it can get quite busy. Our expectations were exceeded, and we cannot wait to come again in summer, to make use of the swimming pool. Value for money at its best!
Hello Thato Thank you for your stunning review!!! So glad it met your requirements and we are waiting to welcome you in the summer months. The pool area is indeed a fabulous part of the experience. Kind regards FVH

Verified reviewBeautiful holiday home. Perfect location to shops, town and tram as well as many wine farms. House had all comforts and the communication from the host was excellent. We were so comfortable. The views, pool area amd fireplace were just absolutely lovely.
No TV in holiday home. We did want to play some soft mood music whilst listening to the crackling fire over a glass of wine.
Hello Dinesh Thank you for the review - sorry that you couldnt play music but we have taken a decision to have no TV. Most of our guests bring their portable devices along to play via Spotify / Bluetooth, etc. Hope that if you visit again, you have one with you. Kind regards FVH

Hello Ian Thanks for the review, we appreciate it. We have changed to Non allergenic pillows and unfortunately they are not as fluffy and comfortable as feather pillows. Kind regards FVH
