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.).

South AfricaThis wasn’t a problem for us but there is a relatively narrow, unpaved path and steps up the outside of the building to access the upstairs unit.
Spacious, stylish beautifully appointed apartment with plenty of of charm! Kitchenette to self cater for a few nights. Loved the views into the trees.

South AfricaRooms not serviced daily impacts time on vacation. Might have been missed on our side. The house lady though was very accommodating and still accommodated us in this regard to help us. Kitchen could do with a bit more kitchen essentials to assist a family who need to eat in , but nothing that could not be managed.
Avo & Oak is a hidden Gem just as you enter beautiful George. It is nestled in a cosy little suburban area and is a beautiful, well designed modern interpretation of South African interiors that blew us away. We adored all the cute little touches, like the festoon lights in Dark passage ways, the clever dual usage of vintage elements in a very modern mix of style was brilliantly and practically adapted. It all worked so well. The wood , the metal the cosy contrast of elements- we were just pleasantly surprised and happy every single time we were there, felt like a dream space. A home away from home. But better. The house lady was sweet, respectful to our space and privacy and we were given remotes for the main gate. She was so accommodating and that allowed for us to get an earlier start to our day and intense itinerary- which was a blessing. The helper was always sweet and pleasant. I would suggest a daily clean up of dishes though, that would really be the cherry on the top. The “3 day change of linens”system works well

CanadaThe facility and setup was awesome. Very relaxed and calm environment. The hosts (Madeline and her husband) were fantastic. She made great recommendations for family cafes and restaurants. My kids loved all of them. The guest house is in a quiet and beautiful area. But at the same time it is a very short drive to everything (shopping, restaurants, etc.). Would definitely recommend Avo&Oak if you are staying at George.

South AfricaWe stayed in the self-catering apartment that was fully equipped with fresh milk. That is always a plus for me. The apartment was situated on the second floor with a balcony. It was completely private, and all views were in adjacent gardens and trees. The host was friendly and helpful.

South AfricaNothing I didn’t like - as all my expectations were met, and neither did I have to request for something to be done or replaced. Everything worked.
Loved the modern rustic feel and decor, with simplicity but everything you need. The mattress was hotel grade which ensured a good nights rest. I had to attend to emergency work meeting (MS Teams ) the WiFi was able to handle the meeting and 2 teenagers doing what they do on Social Media and my wife playing Candy Crush without any issues. Really loved the proximity to York street (Main Road in George) but the accommodation itself was in quiet, leafy street far enough from the main road that you don’t get any noise from the Main Street. Shops and restaurants within in 2-5min drive.

South AfricaNot actually a bad thing as this unit was not intended to work in probably but a more comfortable height desk/table to sit and work at could make it a more appealling option for people who need to work while travelling like I had to.
The host was very accommodating to me as I needed a place to store my luggage before my check-in time. It worked out so well that I even had access well before check in if I wanted to. Beautiful area and unit. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

South AfricaThe sleeper couches as advertised are only couches and were very uncomfortable to sleep on. It was also a really cold weekend and our guest on the couch was cold throughout the night as the couch was raised off the floor with no solid bottom so the cold rose up through the couch.
It was clean and had everything we needed. The main bedroom was very comfortable and warm. They also have a backup battery to keep the power going during loadshedding.
