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.).

AustriaThere was a lamp and side table beside the bed closest to the bathroom; the lamp wasn’t plugged in, and there wasn’t a place to plug it or my electronics in. In a time where everyone has gadgets, there needs to be plenty of space for plugging things in, especially for International travellers who have big and bulky adapters. With the hot weather we had hoped to swim in the pool. Unfortunately it appeared very dirty, thus opted to sit in the sweltering heat. The staff was lovely, but after asking a few different questions we came to the conclusion that the staff wasn’t aware of the types of questions foreign travellers may have, or don’t feel empowered to give responses to guests. Either way, it tarnished our experience in this lovely B&B.
The location was great. The room was spacious and looked and felt lovely.

ThailandIt would be super to have a mini fridge in the rooms .
I have stayed at The Old House on a number of occasions and it is like returning to an old friend . You know that the rooms will be clean and comfortable. That the towels and bed linen will be fresh and of good quality and that the AC works . It’s location, on riverside , will always bring delights , whether that be sunset splendour , or the opportunity to sit and take in the beauty of the river environment. The restaurant and bar staff are always on good form and the food remains a big plus . The towels by the pool are a welcome addition , as are the multi plug sockets It’s also great having a Safari company working alongside the residence . I will be back .

GermanyNothing to complain about
The Old House has been nicely renovated and looks colourful and modern now. Our room (no 8) was nicely decorated and had a nice little terrace looking into the little garden with a nice restaurant. The food (breakfast & dinner) was very good, the WiFi worked well too. Parking in front of the building (not secluded, but pretty safe). The highlight was the 3 hours boat tour in the afternoon. The hotel has 3 own boats, which are not so big, but ideal to get closer to the animals than the big boats. We saw hundreds of elephants, lots of buffalos, antelopes, hippos and crocodiles. It was a stunning experience, which visitors to Kasane should not miss! We can highly recommend the Old House!

South AfricaThe best sheets I've ever slept in, crisp and spotlessly clean. Excellent staff and management. Restaurant is super, service fantastic. River trip right from the dock. Wildlife sometimes right in front of you from the restaurant area, buffalo and Chobe bush buck etc. A must if you plan to stay in Kasane.

United StatesLimited eating options except at The Old House
The Old House is a good affordable option in Kasane, the city itself is not very appealing although I really limited myself walking to the supermarket. facilities are comfortable, with clean large room (they gave me a huge 6 person room as no availability), decent sized bath. Food is OK but otherwise limited eating options as walking along the main street at night is not appealingly safe with motor traffic. restaurant in garden so mosquitoes are unlimited. Their tours are good, especially the afternoon boat tour, very enjoyable experience. If considering game drive during the day, a full day may be a better option as they get deeper inside the park, the morning drive fairly disappointing after coming from Etosha and seeing a plethora of grazers and elephants, but they do have lions and cape buffaloes.

AustraliaOnly problem I had was the shower in my room was set too high for short person and the head was not moveable - I spoke to the owner who acknowledged my point and assures me she will look into it.
hard to believe that the property was just off the main road - it was so quiet. Although the building was old, it was clean and tidy and the grounds were lovely - very tropical. The restaurant/bar was great - the fact that locals use it a lot speaks for itself. They also have 2 boat which go out for cruises - very enjoyable and inexpensive. Staff are very hospitable!!!
