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 didnt like the fact that our room did not have an ensuite bathroom, we had to go to the passage, with little children. Also, the DSTV Access subscription does not do justice in the rooms, there is just nothing to watch there, our children were bored because they wanted Cocomelon, Oddbods, Mr Bea, and Masha and the Bear. In that room we slept in, there is also a door which is nolonger used, take it off and close the space with a concrete wall. We felt like our privacy was a bit compromised.
I liked the prices. The location is also good. Its clean and the staff is friendly.

South AfricaI had to make do with cold showers. Have no idea why the hot water didn't function. They should replace the coffee/tea, sugar and milk daily. To give only four sachets is cheap, in my opinion.
The location was fine. It met with my expectations in terms of access to where I needed to be

South AfricaThey must give people some privacy, at least ask the guests whether they want the room to be cleaned while their belongings are in the room or not, because when we got there our under wears were taken outside without our permission and that didnt sit well with my family.
The location was very good we had a good stay. We like the fact that we could cook our own breakfast, lunch and supper. We ate what we preferred.

South AfricaDespite everything being perfect, while checking the room, I noticed dirty socks under the bed. This discovery made me question the cleanliness of the room. Nevertheless, overall, everything else was flawless, and I would consider staying at this B&B again.
The room was incredibly comfortable, equipped with everything one might need. The surroundings of this B&B made me feel secure, especially as I was unfamiliar with the location. It was wonderfully peaceful and ideal. The affordability of it was a great surprise, and I would absolutely recommend it.
