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.).

United KingdomWould have been 10/10 but for building works starting at 730am and finishing at 430pm. Destroyed the sense of timeless serenity that otherwise would have pervaded the property.
Amazing views over vineyards, incredible sunsets over mountains, fabulous historical buildings, choice of 3 restaurants, excellent wines, delightful pool area.

AustriaNo complaints at all.
This is a hotel within the Laborie estate, and has all the character one would expect from a superbly maintained wine concern dating back hundreds of years. As they correctly announce on their website, 'traditional charm coupled with modern luxury'. A wonderful room in a superb setting, with an excellent breakfast served. Perfect!

United KingdomPlease note that the Villa is right on the main road with the permanent noise of traffic . Not exactly what I had in mind . Also, once you are in the room , you are hermetically sealed indoors , to avoid the traffic noise, so you could be anywhere. Amd finally, the Villa is quite far from the main building so you need to drive … I should have booked the Normal rooms
Laborie is a beautiful estate. All staff are very friendly and helpful and the Stoep Cafe for breakfast is excellent. Our Villa bedroom was beautifully appointed

IndonesiaIt's a bit on pricey side.
I am travelling with my 2 kids and although they do not have family room they did arrange extra beds (at additional cost), kids menu are available in Suzane and Stoep, kids jungle gym is also provided. And they have huge expanse of land for the kids to explore. All the restaurants here provides tasteful food. Great job!

United KingdomAs above.
The breakfast was excellent. Very good indeed. The accommodation was off site in the Villa which was disappointing. We were able to move to the accommodation nearer to the main buildings which was much better from our point of view. But we had to move back to the villa after 3 nights as all rooms were fully booked. If you are booking ensure you are in the main buildings not in the villa as you are somewhat detached from everyone. The only bonus with the villa its that it has a kitchen, fridge, freezer, cooking facilities and plates etc. The staff were very helpful in every respect.

United KingdomThe restaurant at The Stoep could have been better. Undercooked Hasselback potatoes. It would have been nice to have comfortable chairs on the room veranda so you could sit and enjoy the lovely setting
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lovely Laborie Estate. Great staff and convenient location in Paarl. The room was comfortable and the setting superb. Despite a few minor gripes we would definitely return on our next visit to the area. And their cap classique is delicious!

NetherlandsYou get a voucher for breakfast but it doesn't cover much so be prepared to have to pay for breakfast too. Would definitely recommend the hotel to change that policy. Also, the alarm in our room did not work, also not after hearing from the reception staff that it was fixed.
The Estate is wonderful. We really loved the restaurants, wine tasting (staff there is fantastic!) and overall scenery. The pool is amazing and the Deluxe rooms are very large and comfortable.
