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 AfricaThe admin staff had no idea what was going on with regards to bookings, payments or anything else asked. Our toilet was completely blocked and would not flush and as well as the shower (hot water being extremely temperamental). It was over priced but the room was clean and breakfast was great

South AfricaThe management of the hotel decided to cancel a number of rooms from our party for overbooking and then proceeded to blame bookings.com for the mix up. We all had to scramble and double up on rooms so as to accommodate our friends and colleagues that had been inconvenienced and basically told that they were as fault. Bookings that they had been made and paid for months in advance were cancelled and refunded 4 days before the day with not so much as a call. When trying to sort it out - calls and emails were completely ignored and guest travelling for the wedding didn’t know if they had Accomodation at all. The hotel arranged for some of the guests they had inconvenienced to stay in a self catering accommodation which had no generators - making it tricky for them to be part of the festivities- with no sensitivity to the feelings of the guests and the consequences of their actions. when questioning this and trying to assist - I can honestly say that I have never been spoken to as rudely as by the owner of this hotel - and this because I was trying to help a colleague. It was a disgrace and at no time did they accept responsibility for the inconvenience- or apologise. We had to sleep 3 in a room in order to give a room to a couple who were inconvenienced- and then got charged for the extra bed! over and above this there was no fridge in the rooms and only 2 working plugs. On the one evening they couldn’t provide dinner as they had a private function. It is super clear that they do not value their guests at all.
We booked to stay at Devon Valley for a family wedding early in the year. The location was beautiful and we were looking forward to the weekend

South AfricaThe bathrooms are not cleaned daily, bed sheets are not changed daily, the phone in the room did not work and there were bugs in the room. The carpet in room 21 smells very bad, that needs to be taken care off urgently. The toilet brush holder is filthy (Health concern) The above just does not make sense considering the amount I paid.
I liked the views of the place while having breakfast and I also enjoyed the breakfast

South Africaafter a cancelled booking, a bed was supposed to be arranged for my daughter in one of our rooms. this was never done and she slept on the couch. management refused to refund the R1500. appalling.
the only positive thing about this property is the staff - the poor receptionist who had to try and help overbookings and unhappy guests. no support from management.
