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 AfricaThe property is nice but I expected more for the amount we paid. I also didn’t realise the shower was in the bathroom so maybe this should be specified. The room that friends stayed in for a bit extra had a huge shower, double vanity and jacuzzi on their patio which I wish I’d known because I would have booked that too. The water in the jacuzzi on the common property was very cold and couldn’t be used.
Good location as we had a wedding across the road. Linda was a very accommodating host. Clean bedding, towels, rooms. Comfortable place to stay.

South AfricaThe grounds (gardens and breakfast area) need to be a bit more kept up as I can see it needs a bit of TLC compared to social media and their picture uploaded. However the garden lawns were lovely and green. Rooms a tiny bit dated but still comfy ;) Only one small plate of fruit and coupe of jogurt for a couple to share as part of the breakfast, however on the breakfast menu it stated items per person. Therefore each person should have received a plate of fruit with yogurt. as part of the breakfast menu. Our friends had a surprise wake up call when a maintenance person was on their cottage roof to do maintenance at 08:30 the Saturday morning (no one informed us in advance about this).
Perfect location for where we needed to be. Rooms were lovely with crisp white bedding and towels. Nice swimming pool to cool down on the Saturday ;)

South AfricaThe cottage was comfortable but quite awkward in that one couple had to pass through both the kitchen/sitting room and the other couple's bedroom to get out of the cottage. The garden was unkempt but there had been recent heavy rain.
We went thru Bains kloof to get there and the views were spectacular as were the mountains around 5 Mountain Lodge. We were welcomed by Rowen and he looked after all our needs. He is outstanding. We had an excellent dinner and breakfast, both of which were value for money.

South AfricaNothing! A must visit! The photos on the website do not do justice to this venue - it was more impressive than we expected.
Beautiful, peaceful setting. Cottages tastefully decorated and spacious. Staff welcoming and attention to us as guests impeccable - ensuring we have everything we need and even ensuring our hotub stays warm while we were in town. Laying in hotub looking out onto lovely garden, listening to nature was a highlight of our stay.

I live the peace and quiet of the place and therefore have gone back again. The fact that Rowan the manager interacts so well with you, makes it even much better. It is never too much for him to check on places to visit, foods to order, set up of your cabin...it is all in a days work. Love it

South AfricaSecurity light in the parking lot shines in through the window above your head which makes going to sleep difficult (We were in Tulip - the 2 bed cottage). You enter straight into the main bedroom and so you always have to walk through the main bedroom to get to the living area and then to the 2nd bedroom. The living area is dark and dingy with very univiting furniture - nothing matches in the living room - everything is hotch potch. It also only has one very high window so at any time of day you always need to put the light on. The fridge door needs to be switched around as currently you need to shut the door to the main bedroom in order to open the fridge door - very weird setup. The photos are deceptive - it looks like you have a view to the garden when you are on the patio but in actual fact you are smack bang in a parking lot. There is no rubbish bin anywhere in the cottage - so weird. They only have a rubbish bin on the outside patio.

South AfricaThe whole property felt tired and not well kept. Garden was not neat, ponds were half empty and dirty. lights placed in the gardens did not work. The Duvet was clean but stained and off putting. Bathroom fittings were old and some broken or having loose bits. There was a generator but it had not been working for a week or more so load shedding was a real inconvenience with no Wi-Fi or TV for most of the time we were at the place.
The location was 5mins drive away from the wedding venue we were attending for the weekend. The room size was generous. The bed was comfortable The aircon was effective even though it was oddly positioned low to the floor. The welcome was warm and friendly.
