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 AfricaThere was no milk ( one in the small cartons) for coffee in the room.I had to buy a cuppachino with powdered milk.I guess the cleaning ladies did see one empty packet I left there. The bathroom sink was leaking,I had to dry it with toilet paper. I informed the cleaning ladies.
The atmosphere around the estate is quite warm. The staff is also friendly. It was also safe.I arrived late on Friday & left early on Sunday,but it was quiet.

South AfricaThe route getting there was through a residential suburb which didn’t feel very safe. But then we discovered the R304 which was much better.

SwedenThe restaurant is only open until 17. Breakfast is delicious, but à la carte. However the staff was very flexible accommodating additional whishes.
Perfect for a relaxed get-away weekend. Nicely furnished, green gardens and a playground for kids (situated so guests without kids also can enjoy their stay!).

BelgiumEverything was fine. A small detail: the roof wasn’t totally clean, but it’s an old house.
Staffs were welcoming and very nice, such a pleasure. Beautiful area with 17th buildings and gardens. Really enjoyed the fact they kept a similar style for the decoration of the room themselves, creating an ambiance of old and luxury. Very good à quality price ratio!

Switzerland- Restaurant serves only breakfast and light lunch. There is no information both on Booking.com and on your official website that you are not serving dinner. Further, all pictures suggest that it is fully operational which is not true. Please adjust it accordingly as this is very important information. - There was no fridge in the room, only a small one shared with 4 other rooms which was filled with wine for 200-250 ZAR per bottle. - The toilet is located inside the room and is separated from the rest of the space only by a free-standing screen. This means that your partner hears and sometimes sees you doing number 1 and number 2. No privacy in this matter. I am mentioning this point as there is no picture showing the actual toilet situation :-)
Beautiful place - no questions about that! Our room was nice and cosy with a comfortable bed! Was fully backed up from loadshedding and well secured! Spending time at Weltevreden Estate will make you feel like you're back in the good times of the colonial era - in the good sense of the word! Great experience! Strongly recommend that place to everybody!

Hong KongThe room is a bit dark and the bed room lamps have way too bright florescent bulbs. Another plug in the room nearer to the bedside table would be nice. No bottle opener for the wine that I thought was complementary but was not so it was good in the end I could not open it.
Comfy bed, great breakfast, beautiful grounds to walk upon, friendly staff.

South AfricaThey can maybe fit these rooms with a small bar fridge for quests to put cold water or drinks in. The restaurant closes at 5 and then everyone leaves. The estate is a few minutes drive from shops and especially in the heat it would be nice to keep drinks cold for the evening.
So beautiful and relaxed. Very friendly staff. Immediately attended to plumbling leak and aircon problems.
