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.).

friendly and welcoming management, and I stayed in a beautiful room (a suite) with quality linen and thoughtful extra touches. The breakfast was average. The guest house is quite far from restuarants but in a beautiful leafy part of stellenbosch. I’ll definitely stay again!

BelgiumMy stay at the 5 Seasons Guest House in the African Suite was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported into a world of comfort and charm. The African Suite exudes elegance and warmth, with its tasteful décor. But what truly sets the 5 Seasons Guest House apart is the exceptional level of hospitality provided by the staff. From the friendly greetings every morning to the service throughout my stay, every interaction was marked by warmth and professionalism. The amenities provided were equally impressive. The plush king-size bed ensured a restful night's sleep. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the complimentary toiletries and the fluffy bath towels, which added an extra layer of comfort to my stay. One of the highlights of my experience was undoubtedly the delicious breakfast served each morning. From freshly baked pastries to fresh fruit platters. The 5 Seasons Guest House is also ideally located. Whether strolling through the beautiful and safe neighborhood or the nearby botanical gardens, there is no shortage of ways to explore the beauty of the surrounding area. In conclusion, my stay at the 5 Seasons Guest House, African Suite, was nothing short of exceptional. From the luxurious accommodations to the impeccable service, every aspect of my experience exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend this enchanting retreat highly enough and eagerly look forward to returning in the future.

NetherlandsI don't like a lot of heavy smells in the room. There were these scented sticks that were so heavy that I put them outside. The staff took it away luckily. Also, in my room there was a chemical smell that I could not get rid of. I must admit that I didn't report it because they would have helped me.
The whole house was absolutely beautiful and the big kitchen was available so I could cook my own meals. The breakfast was delicious and the staff friendly

NetherlandsFive seasons guesthouse is a beautifull, clean and spacious guesthouse. The accomodation was clean en well managed, the rooms were cleaned every morning and the pool was a really nice addition. The breakfast was tastefull with fresh fruit, bread, yoghurt and baked eggs on request. The area feels safe and the accomodation is protected by a fence with a code.

South AfricaBreakfast is only served from 8 am onwards. I unfortunately need to be on my way by then, so unfortunately missed out. I understand the staff are only able to start serving breakfast then, so don't really mind.
Charming property nestled amongst the big Oak trees of Van der Stel St in the better part of Stellenbosch. The room was very comfortable, the area very quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the warm hospitality and a beautiful and comfortable room. We were also very grateful for the late check-out possibility which allowed us to have a full day of activities before catching our flight in the evening. The staff were lovely and helpful and the location was very convenient with a walkable distance to the town center yet close enough to the vineyards. We will be most definitely returning if we go back to beautiful Stellenbosch!
