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 AfricaI did not like how they made me pay again after I had booked through booking.com. Wats the point of getting their place listed under booking.com when they do not trust it to get their money through it..

United KingdomFound the staff to be rude. Not all customers speak their language. You'd ask a question in English, and they'd talk to each other in their language and give you looks before responding to you. When you got a response, it felt like you were bothering them. They'd blatantly talk about you as you leave the reception area. The shower was just trinkling water, I might as well have just stood outside in the rain for a shower. Rooms cleanliness was below standard, we had to go ask for toiletries from reception on arrival, as none were availabke in the room. Towels provided were clearly very old and worn. Beds were very uncomfortable. Roads leading to the lodge are very terrible. Make sure you're driving an off road to get here because your car will get damaged. This is one place I'll never come back to. Insects flying all over the room. No insect repellents or electric insect killers in rooms. These things were everywhere and very noisy.
Not much.

South AfricaThe fact that our room was not cleaned on Saturday when we left in the morning. We were not made aware we need to leave the house keys with reception and inform them to clean. Cold showers. We showered with cold water two days in a row. They need to invest in alternatives. Multi plugs. Not enough sockets to put appliances. Staff need to be knowledgeable about how things work in the rooms. We struggled to find the lights switch on Friday night. They can also improve their breakfast menu. One of the ladies on Friday was not so pleasant. A more positive attitude would have been appreciated. Sadly I didn't get her name The safe was not working.
Security - the car was parked in the garage. Bed was okay

South AfricaThe towels looked like they were coming from a cow's mouth,filthy,the room was untidy. Poor network connection. We didn't even stay for all the nights we had booked,due to all of this. We only stayed 1 night . We demanded refund but they are not responding to us.

South AfricaMidnight the air conditioner stopped working. It was too hot that we could not breathe and decided to go to the reception around 3am. Only to find the receptionist asleep because air conditioner was working on their side. It was so bad that we had to sleep in the car, our neighbours came outside too because they could not take it. Until we waited for morning to check out although we were supposed to stay for 1 more night. Worst thing is they did not even refund us. IT WAS HORRIBLE
The location was too far from centre and worst thing is that it is a gravel road which is damaged

South AfricaThe road is terrible, my weekend was almost ruined by the bad road They should actually clearly state that this place is deep in the village, so that people from out of town can have an idea and make informed decisions. I was woken up by a loud music, very inconsiderate for guests who are still sleeping. You can't play music in the early hours of the morning. Would not recommend it to anyone

South AfricaBy far the number one reason we will never use the place is the location. There is a long stretch of hard gravel road before you get to the place that we are not q as warned about. If you do not have an SUV, you find yourself unable to go and come as you please because the road is just too harsh for a normal car. The network is just horrible, while they provide wifi, it is far slower than 3g. Vodacom, MTN and Telkom were useless. The pool area is spoilt by loud music all day. We could not swim. There is pretty much nothing else to do. We found ourselves unable to drive in and out as we please because we wanted to limit the cars exposure to the bad road. Staff definitely needs some hospitality training.
The place is fair for the price. There is a generator for loadshedding and solar gysers. There are a couple of pools for the swimmers. The unit we booked had a garage, it was good not leaving the car in the harsh sun
