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...).

I had an absolutely wonderful stay in the studio apartment. Cathy went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The accommodation was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything I needed. The location is absolutely perfect and offers peace and tranquility. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

South AfricaUncomfortable beds. Not much to do without having to drive somewhere. I would have preferred to be within walking distance to the beach or a restaurant or any attraction for that matter, since there are lots in the area.
The views are really special over the lake and lush gardens all around. The unit was well equipped and quite spacious. Host was friendly and shared tips on how to make the most of the activities in the area.

IndiaThere was nothing to not like. Just to mention if you take the lower level room like we did, there are stairs to access it, and to tug the suitcases. Other rooms are on the ground floor (guessing).
-Just beyond George on Garden Route is Wilderness. As the name suggests, it is the best place to enjoy the wilderness of this area. The ecosystem of the region is very unique and as bird watchers we immensely enjoyed the town. This accommodation gave us the opportunity to enjoy nature and it's beautiful beings to the fullest. -Overlooking the Island lake, 'Wilderness Lake View Self-Catering holiday home' is the best place to enjoy the serene views of the serpentine river and the lake. It's just off N2 and 3 km away from the main market area. -Cathy is an amazing host, very caring and so full of stories and suggestions. We felt very welcomed even though we got very late by the time we checked in. She was extremely patient with us and conducted an outstanding orientation. A nature lover/observer herself, she knew exactly what would interest us and had supporting guides available. -Apart from being extremely relaxing, the apartment has all kitchen amenities (and tea station) and is very well maintained. We felt at home instantly and would love to go back when possible. - Parking space and Wifi is all good.

South AfricaThe layout of the living area means you can only admire the view from the dining table or the double-seater chair.
There is a beautiful lake view from both of the bedrooms as well as the living room. The apartment was very clean. There was a garage in which to park the car. The host, Cathy, is easy to reach and responsive.
