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...).

South AfricaCheck-in was a nightmare!! I booked via booking.com, but apparently the guesthouse didnt check their account so they weren't expecting us🙃- this...after 12 hours on the road..anyway, we were "allocated" a room (not even sure if it was the correct one, i was too tired to care).There was no hot water after 6pm...not even one evening. Didn't enjoy breakfast either, no choice of eggs-scrambled eggs was served but it was rubbery.
Rooms were very beautiful, clean and well decorated. Staff were friendly, and helpful.

South AfricaThe building and property can do with a bit of maintenance but I understand that they are busy with that now. Covid has been hard on all different levels.
The breakfast was very nice. The location was good because I wanted to be close to Selborne College. The area seemed a bit run down, which I was not expecting. Not sure if it was due to lack of maintenance after Covid etc . But my room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. The decor in the guesthouse section, where I was, were lovely. .

South AfricaCarpet of the room that they gave me first had a very bad smell, I asked for the air freshener hoping that bad odour will go away. There was no toilet paper I had to ask for it.And I think they knew about that smelling because when I arrived the room was already opened I told the staff about my experience and they didn't hesitate to change me into another room which was clean and comfortable.
Staff was very friendly because I even requested to arrive early before my arrival time and they accepted my request. I liked the location because it was very close to where I was writing my Assessment I didn't even use my car to go there.The breakfast was delicious. Thank you Park Place staff I would definitely come back but please consider to clean or change your carpets.
