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.).

United KingdomThe decor of the bedroom was dated and dark making the room very dark given the sloping garden. The pool was too small to actually swim in.q
A beautiful secluded garden, high security surroundings in a peaceful suburban location just north of the city. The bathroom was huge and well fitted and the bedroom a good size.

South AfricaThe shower in the unit we stayed needs some repairs. Water drips outside while showering. No aircon and the heaters were not working well. We got extra blankets though so it was okay. Cabin had a lot of plugs and cables around each corner, it can get stuffy. Furniture and fittings are a bit outdated.
The place felt like being in a cabin in the woods. So if you're going for an outdoorsy rustic feel it's cool. I had forgotten that i was still in the city. Quiet location. We had a kitchenette with enough cutlery, plates, a stove, bar fridge, microwave, kettle. Private entrance. Great WiFi signal. Security is very tight. Lady at reception is very welcoming.

South AfricaI will never ever go back to this place, we got the worst treatment ever. From being told to keep it down at 15h00pm just 2 ladies seating by the pool area and waiting for our other 2 friends to arrive. I've never been to a guest house were you are told to talk softly at 15h00pm. The rooms were just a disappointment. When we were about to check out the following morning we were told we are not allowed to leave the premises and our car was blocked from leaving. Apparently there was a Take a lot parcel that went missing and they searched our car only to find that one of the colleagues took the package and did not inform them. They did not search the other cars which were on the premises. We did not get any apology or so whatever. If you are black please do yourself a favor and don't book at this place. Our weekend was a nightmare.
Nothing.

South AfricaEveryone was complementing on how good the breakfast was and the staff. Firstly the guy my friends found on the premises (since I was running behind for our check in) was rude to my friends. One of the rooms booked booked included breakfast which was never received. I texted the number that was texting me the day before to ask when breakfast was served, no one replied. I honestly was disappointed considering we were not staying there for free or using a voucher 🙄🙄
We enjoyed the garden area and the pool area. The wifi was also pretty good

South AfricaThey put us in a room where the bed was unfortunately full of urine. The bed was full of urine, the sheets smelled. After finding this out we called them to come see the situation and they didn't bother coming into the room but gave us a different room. It was clear to us from there that they knew about the urine and chose to still put people in the room. Another thing is there is a huge dog not mentioned in the listing. We have a huge phobia for dogs and if we knew we wouldn't have booked but they tell us when entering the room.
The guest house is perfectly situated for where we were going and is very close to the city centre if that is what you are looking for. It is very quiet so that is something to look forward to. It has a beautiful garden too.

South AfricaVery bad customer service. We were greeted by a very drunk guy who told us that this was his place and we can't come here and tell him what to do. That is when we tried to ask questions that related to a tour, like trying to find out where their braai facilities were. So we kept quiet. One last told us where to join them for breakfast. In the room the breakfast menu said nothing about time. So we decide to inquire just after 9am and we were told that it finished at 9am.
The place is quiet and the landscape outside looks good.
