Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

FranceIt’s not a dislike , just lack of not having a generator on the property during the load shedding, a slight inconvenience for the guests during the stay.
Location is great as it’s very close to the centre of village, a walking distance. Quiet residential area. Nice pool area. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Easy check in.

NetherlandsThere lies so much more opportunity in this b&b The location is great, the rooms are old fashioned , but very clean , spacious and have a good - large bed ! Downstairs I would get rid of the office , open up the doors & windows & shutters , let some fresh air and daylight in - a great bouquet of flowers at the entrance , so you feel love & passion for hospitality in this actually great environment .. so not a disappointment but an Opportunity ☀️

South AfricaWifi speed wasn't great...wasn't great when using vpn connection on laptop. There is ups on main router which helps during loadshedding. However wifi extenders don't work so will need to get close to the main router if a connection is needed during load shedding.
Lovely place... And perfect location for us. Staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Pleasure to stay there and great breakfast.

South AfricaI reserved a superior deluxe room upstairs with two single beds only to arrive and discover that the room had a double bed which was disappointing. The room could do with a small fridge for water and milk etc. The safe is tiny - it couldn't fit a laptop in it was so tiny. Loadshedding is a big problem so perhaps worth investing in a generator!?
Nice breakfasts and close to town, lovely swimming pool, comfortable room with helpful and friendly staff!

JordanNo complaints whatsoever. A comfy chair on the balcony would have been the icing on the cake.
I had a lovely stay at Gable Manor. The upstairs suite was spacious and comfortable. It felt like staying in a tree house as all the windows are surrounded by trees. I loved the view from the balcony. The staff were very warm and friendly.

GermanyCozy place. Great breakfast in nice extra room. We forgot a pair of glasses in our room and were happy that the service personnel found it, so that we could get it back. It takes a little walk uphill to get to Chamonix and a few minutes more to Dieu Donne, a place you should definitely not miss for great views.
