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 AfricaEverything was perfect.
Cottage was clean and stocked with all the needed utensils. Daily service excellent by friendly staff. Lovely tranquil surroundings with game sightings from the cottage. Walking trails on Game farm quite an experience. Lots of birds and butterflies around. Close to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and other interesting sites. Complimentary charcoal was a daily treat!! Shops few minutes away for all your needs. Even through loadshedding lights were provided.

It was pleasure for us to stay three nights in the beautiful and spacious Aloe Cottage. We liked the opportunity to have a phantastic brewery, a very good restaurant and a high-class craft shop just a few hundred meters from the cottage, that is set in the quiet bush. It was a very good choice to stay near the game park. Thanks for this extraordinary place!

South AfricaA phone call in the late afternoon to as us to vacate the cottage as the new guests wanted to move in, when we had left at 07h30 that morning.
We stay in alot of b&bs and I can say that this is the best we have ever stayed in. Everything comfort and utility that you could need has been catered for. Even down to pool towels,mozzie repellant, charcoal and firelighters and ice in the freezer. Great facility, we will definitely be back.

United KingdomThe staff were very welcoming and super friendly. The accommodation was rustic with ample facilities that were simple yet provided a wonderful, comfortable place to rest up on our journey back from Mozambique. The location is secure and provides a safe atmosphere among the warm bird song and other sounds of nature. A little oasis tucked away from the bustle of the nearby town and transport links. Parking was secure but with the freedom to come and go as we needed while we explored the surrounding attractions and game parks of northern Kwazulu Natal. The reach of the wifi could be extended a little to reach the entire bungalow (we had the one on the far end) but this was not a major detraction from an otherwise great venue.
