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 AfricaOpen showers, there was water everywhere after taking a shower.
Breakfast was okay, more or less what I have at home during weekends. I expected buffet breakfast just as it was advertised. we were not asked how we liked our eggs. I would have preferred that both rooms have bar fridges.

South AfricaTV connection was lost, and we didn't watch none.you know when you are with kids, they want to watch TV. Charging stations are far away, and the bed made some noise (please look at that mattress).. some modern furniture can take the place to greater heights
The warm welcome from the family and staff was top tier. the garden view its the same as the pictures. Simple breakfast was nice, and I loved how the kids' host played with my daughter. This showed how welcoming the host family is.

South AfricaBreakfast was extremely basic . Option was yogurt and fruit and a coffee. Daughter is vegan . Had a mixture of carrot and lettuce cucumber .the breakfast was very basic. There is no air-conditioning. Pietermaritzburg is known to be hot and humid. The linen should be refreshed example sheeting . This is for future visitors. Kettle and television as well as the shower head doesn't work properly in the room I was in There is also a bit of an odour coming somewhere in that bathroom.
The wifi worked. There is alternative power in the case of loadshedding. They are flexible friendly owners who allow visitors within reasonable limits understandably. The units /rooms are clean and towels (although worn)do get replaced.

South AfricaWe liked everything. Just a recommendation Would have loved a small table on the left side of the bed as ther is nothing to put your cellphone, water, specticals or book etc on. As the toilet is very low, a handrail against the wall will be of great help. Thank you.
The quick response from the owner after we made the booking was remarkable. Place quiet and beautiful. Spacious enough. Very good breakfast. Thank you to all.
