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 AfricaOns was baie terleurgesteld toe ons die kamer sien. Dit was donker en somber en het nie gelyk soos op die advertensie nie. Daar was ook nie "berg uitsig" soos in advertensie nie. Daar was geen parkering vir gaste nie. Ons moet aand die oorkant vd pad, by die kerk, parkeer. Daar was ook nie 'n generator nie. Ons het besluit ons gaan nie van die akkommodasie gebruik maak nie. Het ander plek bespreek en die selutel terug gaan gee vir die dame by die komberswinkel.

What a quaint place, we really enjoyed our stay. Being near the centre everything is walking distance which makes for a great night walk after dinner. Will definitely stay again.

South Africa1. Insufficient DStv channels. Well, this isn't too bad because it allows for more human interaction. And to explore Clarens more.
I liked everything about 278 on Main. Our bedroom was Topaz. 1. The staff is super friendly, and their communication is very good. 2. You get all the necessary information about the accommodation, its facilities, and Clarens as a whole in the form of little notes and a little book found inside the room. 3. The room gave rustic luxury vibes, and I must say, it is quite spacious. They also have beautiful aesthetics. For a moment, it makes you feel like you're at one of these private safari lodges. You only realise when you step outside that you're actually in a town. 4. There are sufficient toiletries in the bathroom. Ps, the bath oil was a winner for me. 5. The breakfast was scrumptious. I love that they have variety. As a result, many diets can be accommodated. 6. There is sufficient tea, coffee, sugar, and milk in the bedroom. 7. Strong wifi connection.

United KingdomThe crockery were in a bad state, didn't feel clean and of a combination which to my opinion didn't fit the self catering purpose. The bedroom curtains can be of a bit higher standard and more user friendly.
I liked the breakfast because we are not huge eaters. Maybe more of a fruit/fruit salad option also.
