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.).

At our arrival we were welcomed by the extremely hospitable and friendly owners, who advised us very kindly about the local restaurants and activities in the area. The room is very spaceous and has great facilities. With a pool and great garden, the lodge is a perfect accomodation for a relaxing stay The breakfast with fresh fruits and local products was also very good. We would highly recommend the Swellendam Country lodge as the ideal accommodation during your Garden Route trip.

Beautifully established, quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by fruit trees, trees, lovely pool. If you want to relax and chill, I highly recommended this Lodge. The room is fully equipped, en-suite bathroom and very clean. A nice private patio to sit down, relax and enjoy nature. Friendly owners/hosts and a scrumptious breakfast to start the day. Property is well secured etc. Excellent value for money. Lastly, a friendly rescue dog Kiya. So well behaved and friendly😀

South AfricaOnly thing I could fault was that the mattress was a little worn (higher in the middle) but not terrible. Had a good night's sleep regardless.
Room was great. Comfortable and with everything you would expect and more. Well stocked mini bar . Packed breakfast as I left early but a high quality one. 5 stars all round.

South AfricaLocation is perfect in town. Lovely big old property. The room was comfy. This is an owner-run establishment, which always makes a big difference in the care and attention one receives. They make their own marmalade from the orange trees on the property! There is a swimming pool and a boules court.

South AfricaWe had to wait 10 minutes to be let in when we were checking in. Nobody was attending to the gate, or intercom. Only later we were made aware that the intercom was not working. Other than that, very satisfactory accommodation, and Jan, the owner, is a caring host.
