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...).

United KingdomNo Complaints!
Highly recommended, a very well presented and well run establishment. Staff had just the right level of attentiveness, good breakfasts and the one evening meal we took at the hotel was excellent. For such a desirable location, close to the attractions of the Western Cape the price was very reasonable.

Our stay at Glen Avon Lodge for two nights was a lovely retreat. Our room was so comfortable and very thoughtfully designed. We had all we needed. Even dressing gowns. The property is in a lovely area filled with beautiful gardens and trees. Close to restaurants so we were able to walk to one at night and feel safe. The breakfast provided was delightfully displayed and absolutely delicious from the sweet ripe fruits right through to the continental and hot breakfast. A banquet for sure. We enjoyed sundowners and breakfast on the balcony over looking manicured flower gardens 👌🏻 We will definitely stay again. Such service and comfortable affordable accomodation is a delight to find. A credit to all we dealt with there. Thank you 🌸

Well maintained. Friendly and helpful reception upon arrival and throughout our stay. Nice pool area and loungers. Excellent restaurant for evening meals on site and convenient for an alternative just across the road. 15 mins from the amazing Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and half an hour from the Table Mountain cable car.

An oasis of calm at a great location. Our room was spacious, even with the addition of the baby cot, with directly outside an almost private terrace. Beautiful pool area with adjacent garden. A simple but delicious breakfast, and everything was tended by wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. We liked our stay so much that we extended with one more night.

Staff went out of their way to do extra for us! They brought us wrapping paper when we needed it, helped with all our bags and were always pleasant and professional at the same time.

South AfricaI didn't like the breakfast at all, unfortunately. The homemade bread was delicious but the choices were really not great. For someone health conscious, there were little to no options.
I adored the quietness. The only thing was when people came in and out of their rooms (where I was staying), it was quite noisy - I think based on the wooden stairs etc. But overall - dead quiet and so tranquil That was my favourite part.
