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 AfricaIt was disappointing that we were not able to use the pool. I especially searched for accommodation which had a pool, only to find out on arrival that the pool cannot be used.
The cottage is a lovely size and has enough seating on the balcony.

AustraliaPictures of mountain view cottage were misleading as they don’t show the buildings on either side. This ‘cottage’ is actually attached to the main house, with very little privacy. And The outside area is right off the car park. Lots of artificial light streams into the place at night, and you can hear traffic
Mountain view was lovely, kitchen was well equipped

South AfricaBed mattress seemed a bit worn & thus uncomfortable. Some cobwebs in certain spots. Biggest problem was the owner's 4 dogs roaming freely on the property that were constantly aggressive with us & our guests, spoiling the stay to a large extent. Owner noted: "Children not allowed on property"... which was confusing, since that was not advertised anywhere.
Well-equipped kitchen & comfortably furnished cottage. Great views from mountain slope of Paarl & surrounds Can never get enough of the awesome ring of mountains that surrounds the area - just stunning. Being on mountain slope, weather never got as searingly hot as lower in the town area, so aircon use was minimal.

South AfricaThere is no privacy at all. The night guard could look into our room. The curtains do not cover the whole window and the curtains are 100 percent see through. We had to switch off all lights to get undressed. The guards kitchen wi dow looked directly into our bedroom and he was standing there looking at us. If we walked out on our veranda we looked directly into our hosts house. My daughter and fiance was in a room with no curtains. Early this morning the staff started doing washing right next to their suite with no curtains.
The host is very very friendly and the location is so beautiful.

South AfricaThere were no curtains so we were woken very early by the light. And the remotes for the gate entries given to us were not working and we had to phone numerous times to get in.
The facilities were nicely set up with beautiful views and were comfortable. All the basics were there that we needed.

South AfricaThe place did not have an iron, something we could have enquired about prior actually. We did not see a broom for cleaning a place since it was a self catering. We also suggest that they put up instructions on who to contact should a need arise and who to leave the keys with when checking out. A signage to the receptionist could also assist when navigating into the estate.
The place is so neat and quite, exactly what we needed for our stay. Its close to the wine farms that we wanted to explore in Paarl and Franschoek.
