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.).

AustraliaSimple folding luggage racks to place suitcases on will make a huge difference if one is not doing a long stay. A small container of milk in the fridge will be great for guests arriving before having done shopping.

AustraliaIt was incredible! Best views. I prefer to stay here over Franschhoek as the views are nicer and it's more in the mountains. I can't say enough about the place. Give the piano in the common area a try, it's lovely. Will be back for sure

South AfricaThey advertise a restaurant that is currently not available since the chef when back overseas, so had to go find breakfast somewhere else. Not an issue, since i planned to do so anyway, but might be a problem for some not ready for it.
It is a absolute gorgeous place with the most beautiful view over Paarl from the foot of the mountains above Du Toitskloof pass. Not self catering, but I was given a mobile braai when I asked with no issues. Very friendly people with a lot of overseas guests making the experience interesting. Swimming pool in a beautiful spot with suntan chairs and a balcony for a nightcap at the room.

South AfricaThe room could be upgraded a bit - the decor is quite dated and there were nails sticking out of the balcony decking, which could be risky.
Great location with views of the Paarl mountains, clean and comfortable room. The pool was lovely and refreshing given the hot weather. Helga was a very welcoming host.

From Arriving at the Establishment Helga has been awesome. Nothing was too much to ask and always pleasant and friendly. The Tranquility of the space is mind blowing... We wil definitely return. 8h and they are completely LGBTIQA + friendly... The Cleaning staff was just as attentive and is readily available should you need them... 10 out of ten to them... Our wedding weekend away couldn't have been any better.

South AfricaThe wifi was a bit intermittent but not too bad. There was no full DSTV. A lot of the amazing view is covered or blocked by trees that can be trimmed to give that breathtaking stay. But in general, it is a great stay and the host is very friendly.
The poolside unit was a 2 bedroom unit that felt like a house. Loved the space. It gives a very chic feeling where antique meets modern. We loved the fact that each room had an aircon and the view was just amazing. Great artwork that just adds the final touch of elegance. Great value for your money.
